How Cisco AMP Provides the Best Malware Protection
AMP for endpoints offers you complete visibility and control, empowering and enabling you to defeat even the most advanced attacks. Cisco AMP is assisted by global threat intelligence, advanced sandboxing and real-time malware blocking to safeguard your network from any sort of breaches; even the most advanced ones.
Cisco believes that any organization cannot simply rely on the prevention of malware alone. This is where AMP races ahead of its competitors. It incessantly examines file activity across your extended network, which in turn helps you promptly detect the threats, contain them and eliminate them. While the industry standard time of threat detection rests at 100 Days, Cisco AMP does that in roughly 6 hours.
Some Key Features of Cisco AMP
Global Threat Intelligence
Cisco has its own team of experts ‘Talos’ that is constantly analyzing millions of malware samples and terabytes of data every day. It enhances the intelligence of Cisco AMP and assists it in proactively shielding your network not just from known threats, but also emerging threats.
Advanced Sandboxing
Cisco possesses a set of more than 700 behavioral indicators. These indicators help AMP reveal the stealthy threats as an analysis is performed automatically both in the static and dynamic state. As a result, your security engineers can understand and block such threats before they incur any harm.
Real-Time Malware Detection and Blocking
Cisco AMP utilizes the stunning capabilities of AV detection engines, one-to-one signature matching, fuzzy fingerprinting and machine learning to detect both known and unknown malware in real time. It is a blazing fast process when compared to traditional detection used by several other providers.
Constant Analysis
The moment any malicious file penetrates your network, Cisco AMP begins analyzing and recording its activity irrespective of the file’s disposition. If any threat is triggered by the file later, a retrospective alert is pushed towards your security team notifying them the current location of the malware and the past activities. As a result, your team can remediate it immediately.
