Cisco Expands Advanced Malware Protection and Data Center Security Solutions to Address Advanced Threats from Endpoint to Network to Cloud - The Network: Cisco's Technology News Site

SAN FRANCISCO– May 21, 2014 – Addressing customers’ needs to combat zero-day attacks and advanced persistent threats (APTs), Cisco today broadened its Advanced Malware Protection and data center security offerings. These innovations, spanning the Cisco security portfolio, protect against threats across the full attack continuum – before, during, and after an attack. The innovation to both portfolios, along with today’s acquisition of ThreatGRID,further supports Cisco’s strategy to deliver intelligent cybersecurity for the real world.

The newest updates to Cisco® Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) make it the first solution to correlate Indications of Compromise (IoC) data between network and endpoint, with integrated threat defense and shared intelligence –  providing customers with continuous and pervasive protection against the most advanced threats. AMP also now features Mac OSX support and a private cloud appliance, an on-premises solution that delivers continuous analysis. ThreatGRID’s technology, with its dynamic analysis capabilities both on-premises and in the cloud, complements AMP and allows enhanced aggregation and correlation of data for advanced threat intelligence across the extended network and across Cisco security solutions and services.
