ASAv

ASAv, or Cisco ASA Virtual, is a software version of Cisco’s Adaptive Security Appliance that runs as a virtual machine on servers or cloud platforms. It functions as a firewall, protecting networks from cyber threats by monitoring and controlling inbound and outbound traffic based on security rules. ASAv enables organizations to deploy advanced security features in virtual environments, offering flexibility, scalability, and centralized management. Essentially, it acts as a digital barrier, safeguarding network resources without needing dedicated physical hardware, making it suitable for modern, cloud-based, or virtualized network infrastructures.
