ASA v8.0

In addition to the recent release of version 6.0 of the IPS, looming ahead is the release of ASA software version 8.0. I've heard that the beta version of ASA 8.0 is already made available to select customers who signed up for the beta testing program.

Here's news from Cisco that briefly mentioned ASAv8.0:
