Introduction to asav9-22-1-6.zip
This software package contains Cisco ASAv 9.22.1.6, designed for next-generation cloud security deployments requiring zero-trust architecture enforcement. The release resolves 19 CVEs from previous versions while introducing quantum-resistant cryptography prototypes and enhanced Azure Arc integration.
Optimized for multi-cloud environments, this build supports automated scaling groups in AWS/GCP hybrid infrastructures with 40% faster TLS 1.3 handshake performance through AES-256-GCM hardware acceleration. Compatible with VMware ESXi 8.0U3+ and KVM QEMU 7.2+, it maintains backward compatibility with legacy ASA security policies while enforcing FIPS 140-3 Level 2 compliance for government networks.
