Cisco redefines its Endpoint Security
At Cisco Partner Summit, the companys annual partner conference, the company has unveiled AMP for Endpoints.
It combines prevention, detection and response to simplify endpoint security, allowing customers to ditch ineffective prevention-only strategies. By leveraging the scale and power of the cloud and Ciscos threat-centric security architecture, AMP for Endpoints allows customers to see and stop more threats, faster.
"Cisco continues the relentless evolution of our security architecture from the network to the endpoint to the cloud. Today’s AMP for Endpoints launch is a critical milestone. Customers now have the opportunity to simplify their endpoint security strategy, securing mobile users, servers and desktops by leveraging Ciscos threat-centric security architecture," said Scott Harrell, Vice-President, Product Marketing, Security Business, Cisco Systems.
New AMP for Endpoint offers:
• Next-generation prevention that combines proven and advanced protection capabilities to stop more threats - both known and emerging malware. With the latest global threat intelligence from Cisco Talos at its backbone, AMP for Endpoints also offers built-in sandboxing technology to quarantine and analyze unknown files.
• Greater visibility and faster detection through continuous monitoring and shared analytics to detect stealth attacks. AMP for Endpoints records all file activity to monitor and detect malicious behaviour, alerting security teams fast. AMP for Endpoints shares and correlates threat information in real time, reducing time to detection (TTD) to minutes.
• More effective response based on deep visibility and a detailed recorded history of malware’s behaviour over time – where it came from, where it has been, and what it has been doing. AMP for Endpoints accelerates investigations and reduces complexity through a simple cloud-based user interface to searching across all enterprise endpoints for Indicators of Compromise. Users can then systemically respond to attacks across PCs, Macs, Linux, and mobile devices, removing malware with just a few clicks.
AMP for Endpoints shares and correlates threat information across the entire architecture, both the AMP ecosystem and other Cisco security platforms. This architectural approach to security means Cisco customers can see more threats, faster.
New software suites radically simplify advanced infrastructure security
Cisco is also introducing a new way for customers to simplify how they buy and deploy its security software and gain more value from its architectural approach. Cisco is extending its successful software licensing program, Cisco ONE Software, into advanced security.
With Cisco ONE Advanced Security, Cisco is simplifying the purchase of infrastructure security in the Data Center, WAN, and Access domains. Customers no longer have to worry about securing their infrastructure as an afterthought. With Cisco ONE Advanced Security, they can buy predefined solutions for these key domains – often with a single transaction.
Cisco has announced availability of the following three new advanced security software suites:
• Threat Defense for Data Center
• Threat Defense for WAN and Edge
• Policy and Threat Defense for Access
While Cisco ONE has traditionally been made available through perpetual licensing models, Cisco ONE Advanced Security is being offered via subscription. With subscriptions, customers can buy the capabilities they need, when and how they need them. This enables a more agile approach to security and helps accelerate the deployment of new capabilities.
Cisco ONE joins an array of flexible models for purchasing Ciscos security software. These range from volume pricing programs to enterprise licensing agreements.
