Cisco Advanced Malware Protection Case Study

Tennant Company

Introduction

This case study of Tennant Company is based on a March 2017 survey of Cisco Advanced Malware Protection customers by TechValidate, a 3rd-party research service.

“Deploying AMP for Endpoints alongside other AMP deployments has helped my organization uncover threats faster and improve overall security effectiveness.”
