Which Cisco NGIPS capability provides control over users, applications, devices, threats, and provides insights to network vulnerabilities?

Global threat intelligence refers to Cisco Talos threat data feeds that inform detection rules, but does not itself provide direct control over users, applications, devices, and vulnerabilities.

Advanced threat protection and rapid remediation in Cisco NGIPS (Firepower) combines detection, prevention, and response capabilities to actively control users, applications, devices, and threats across the network. It correlates security events with vulnerability data to provide actionable insights that allow administrators to prioritize and remediate the most critical risks quickly.

Contextual awareness provides passive profiling and visibility into network users, applications, and devices, but is a monitoring capability rather than an active threat protection and remediation function.

Security automation refers to policy-driven automated response and orchestration workflows, not the integrated protection and vulnerability insight capability described in the question.
