Module description

Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.

The 1K is a family of three platforms, 1010 for desktop and 1120 and 1140 for rack mount. While the 2K is a family of four threat-focused NGFW security rack mount platforms. These are all next generation security services platforms capable of running multiple (firewall (NGFW), traffic management) security services simultaneously.
