AMP for Endpoints is not just a point product, but an extension of my ecosystem. By deploying protection to the endpoint, my company moves past the border of the network and truly takes advantage of the new software-as-a-service environment. Backed by the vision of Cisco, AMP is a foundational product that can give us the visibility and forensic capability without management complexity.

Using AMP for Endpoints we are able to identify prevalence from computer to computer. This helps us identify which files were common or not. Often we would see most of our alerts coming from email, so we would adjust our ESA to drop these messages.

Hospitality Company Prevents Attack with AMP for Endpoints

We are a hospitality company and certain franchises haven’t moved to point to point encryption and tokenization yet and that makes detecting malware with memory scraping capabilities very important to use. Recently AMP detected and alerted us to such an attack. Without AMP on this particular hotel computer, we wouldn’t have known that this attack ever occurred. It is possible it stopped thousands of credit card numbers from being stolen.

The advantage of Cisco AMP for Endpoints is that it provides a global view of overall security status that we did not have before. We used multiple AV services that could not be integrated with the Cisco ASA firewall. This centralized approach has benefited our IT Help Desk with advance notification of potential issues.

Reduce IR time with an Integrated AMP Architecture

When using AMP for Endpoints in conjunction with Cisco Cloud Web Security (CWS) and Firepower Management Center, we are able to correlate events much easier and see how infections entered our network and easily identify which endpoints were infected. This has helped us reduce incident response from days to hours.

Improve Your Email Security with Cisco AMP for Endpoints

AMP for Endpoints has allowed us visibility into email security that we did not have prior to AMP. It has allowed us to improve and implement policies to block unwanted and potentially dangerous malware that was previously not visible to our organization.

Network Administrator, Medium Enterprise Media & Entertainment Company

Cisco Advanced Malware Protection Customer Testimonial

I have a very small team so deploying AMP for Endpoints had a drastic effect on our security posture. We gained visibility and reduced incident response time by months. We were quite impressed with how easily it was to deploy the solution to all of our PCs, globally.

Lori St. John, IT Manager, Styrolution Group GMBH

Cisco Advanced Malware Protection Customer Testimonial

Within a week of deploying AMP we had identified three separate instances where multiple users received an infected e-mail and attempted to open the attachment. AMP successfully blocked the file when our existing software did not. Not only did AMP save us from having to clean up a cryptolocker infection, but it also gave us visibility into who had opened the file, which we did not previously have. Now it makes me wish we had AMP for our e-mail platform.

Dan Kelcher, Network/Server Administrator, Turck Inc

Cisco Advanced Malware Protection Customer Testimonial

AMP for Endpoints has increased endpoint visibility by 100%, detected 50% more threats, and reduced incident response time by 5 days. It also saves a lot of time for security investigations. Before AMP for Endpoint we didn’t have good tools for that.

Gain visibility into web-related threats

Deploying AMP for Endpoints alongside our Cisco Web Security Appliances (WSA) has allowed us to uncover all web requests that may be malicious, using the Cognitive Threat Analytics feature.

Engineer, Medium Enterprise Banking Company

AMP has shown us just how many people click on bad links and how many viruses make it through to the email server. Implementing AMP has made it easier for us to find hosts that have an infection and has reduced the time we spend with infections on machines.

IT Administrator, Medium Enterprise Energy & Utilities Company

Cisco Advanced Malware Protection Customer Testimonial

AMP has helped reduced the amount of malware coming through in email attachments and greatly reduced our ransomware threat countywide. We have a Cisco Firepower NGIPS setup on our network and AMP Endpoints assists in its protection and also protects our devices that leave the county network from time to time.

Stop advanced attacks with AMP for Endpoints

Before implementing AMP for Endpoints we had 4 separate Crypto Locker events, which impacted approximately 100 Support Services staff. The events resulted in these staff being offline and unable to perform their day to day function for 4-5 hours whilst the data was restored from backups. This also lead to loss of data between the backup and detected time of the event. By implementing AMP for Endpoints we have removed these advanced threats and have not had a further threat.
