As AI drives more speed, scale, and complexity across the network, large organizations need firewalls that can keep up without creating blind spots or slowing down critical services. And for modern data centers, decryption is often no longer optional.   

Join Cisco, UNH Labs and NetSecOPEN for a practical look at what it takes to evaluate firewall performance at data center scale. You’ll hear industry perspective on the future of firewalling, why reproducible open testing matters, and what Cisco’s latest Secure Firewall 6160 results reveal about high-performance SSL/TLS inspection for enterprise and service provider environments. 

In this session, you’ll learn:  

• How open testing enables customers to independently validate results in their own lab environments.  
• How Cisco Secure Firewall 6160 was configured and tested for SSL/TLS inspection—and performed under demanding conditions, blocking 100% of tested threat scenarios.  
• What the results mean for organizations seeking high throughput, strong threat prevention, and scalable security without compromise.
