Does the ASA5525-K9 support Content filtering?

[calyman79]

Hi,

I know the 5510 & 5520s support the CSC-SSM module for Content Filtering (Anti-Phishing, Anti Spam, URL filtering,

Anti-Spyware & Antivirus), but what about content filtering for the ASA5525-K9.

The problem that I have is that I need a firewall that supports up to 1 Gbps Maximum Firewall Throughput and to support 250 users with Content Filtering described above.

I'm using the following doc for sizing and came across the ASA5525-K9 for 1 Gbps, but not sure about the Content filtering:

No, the new X series ASA does not support Content Filtering CSC module.

Here is what is supported on the new ASA5525-X for your reference:

Thanks Jennifer.

So, what other options do we have for 1Gib Firewall Throughput with content filtering?

The ASA5510 with CSC-SSM only supports 300 Mbps.

Should I tell my customer that there's no other option from Cisco for now?

Regards,

CR
