Cisco Firepower Virtual IPS, Apps and AM 5-Year License | Virtual IPS — FP-VMW-TAM-5Y

Keep virtual infrastructure under policy control with Cisco Firepower Virtual IPS, Apps and AM. This 5-year licensing package is designed for VMware environments that need intrusion prevention, application awareness, and malware-focused protection in a software-defined footprint. It fits teams that want consistent security enforcement across virtualized workloads without introducing more hardware into the rack. For infrastructure groups standardizing on virtual security services, this license supports a cleaner deployment model and a more predictable operating profile. It helps security teams inspect traffic, identify risky applications, and maintain enforcement where workloads move. That matters in environments where uptime, segmentation, and auditability are tied to the same control plane. Compared with lower-tier point tools, this Cisco licensing model is built for organizations that need durable coverage over time, not short-term patchwork protection. The 5-year term supports budget planning and reduces renewal churn, while the virtual form factor aligns with modern data center operations.
