Explanation

Cisco FirePOWER NGFW (Next Generation Firewall) includes a Next Generation IPS (NGIPS) for deep packet inspection, intrusion detection, and threat prevention (A), and URL filtering to control access to websites and specific sub-sites based on policy (B) - both are core, built-in capabilities of the FirePOWER platform.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• C (Data Loss Prevention): DLP is not a native feature of FirePOWER NGFW - it's a separate product category (e.g., Cisco Email Security or dedicated DLP tools). FirePOWER focuses on threat detection and access control, not outbound data classification.
• D (Increased IT management needs): This is the opposite of a feature benefit. NGFWs like FirePOWER are designed to consolidate security functions and reduce management complexity, not increase it.

Memory tip: Think of FirePOWER's two headline capabilities as "Block bad traffic IN" (IPS) and "Control where users GO" (URL filtering) - both are about controlling what flows through the firewall, which is the core NGFW value proposition.
