Cisco ASA 5500 100 Security Contexts License | Virtualization Licensing — ASA5500-SC-100

Add 100 security contexts to a Cisco ASA 5500 deployment to support more advanced firewall segmentation and multi-tenant policy design. This license is intended for organizations that need to divide a single appliance into multiple isolated security domains without changing the underlying platform. For infrastructure teams, security contexts are valuable when different business units, environments, or customer groups must be separated while still sharing the same firewall hardware. That makes this license especially relevant in service provider, enterprise shared-services, and regulated environments where policy boundaries matter. Compared with simpler firewall licensing, this option is about control density. It helps you extract more value from the ASA platform by enabling a higher number of logical security partitions, which can reduce hardware sprawl and keep operations more manageable. The result is a cleaner architecture for teams that need segmentation without unnecessary appliance growth. Ideal For Segmenting multiple business units on one ASA appliance Supporting service provider firewall tenancy models Separating regulated workloads within a shared network edge Expanding logical firewall capacity without adding hardware Why This Product 1 Enables 100 logical security contexts 2 Built for ASA 5500 multi-context deployments 3 Supports stronger tenant and workload isolation 4 Useful for shared firewall architectures
