Cisco launches AMP for Endpoint to streamline shift from legacy systems
Cisco has revealed a new enterprise solution designed to simplify endpoint security.
On Tuesday at the Cisco Partner Summit, the tech giant announced Cisco AMP for Endpoint, a security solution which combines prevention, detection and response technologies using Cisco's threat-centric security architecture.
The company says the new solution will "radically simplify endpoint security, allowing customers to ditch ineffective protection-only technologies."
As part of Cisco ONE Advanced Security licensing program, AMP for Endpoint is a SaaS solution supported by cloud technology.
According to Cisco, the software blocks malware at point-of-entry, continuously monitors for threats and includes a simple user interface to give enterprise staff a way to quickly respond to attacks.
Cisco AMP for Endpoint also includes global threat intelligence from the Cisco Talos security team, threat alerts, file monitoring and malware logs.
Threat data is shared and correlated across both the AMP ecosystem and other company platforms.
