Introduction to cisco-asa-fp2k.9.14.1.10.spa Software

This software package contains Cisco Secure Firewall Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) version 9.14.1.10, a maintenance release specifically optimized for Firepower 2100 series appliances. Designed to address 17 critical security vulnerabilities identified in previous ASA versions, this build (released March 2024 via Cisco Software Central) enhances threat prevention capabilities while maintaining backward compatibility with existing firewall configurations.

The 9.14.1.10 update introduces platform version 2.8.1.172 and CSP (Common Security Policy) ASA version 9.14.1.10, delivering improved VPN throughput and unified policy management for hybrid cloud environments. Compatible with Firepower 2110/2120 hardware and virtual ASAv deployments, it supports both traditional stateful firewall configurations and Next-Generation IPS implementations.
