Cisco's comprehensive cloud-based security endpoint portfolio
provides advanced malware protection, internet security, and
enterprise mobility management
SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 16, 2018
(GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cisco today is helping address the challenges
of Managed Security Service Providers (MSSP) and their customers by
offering MSSPs comprehensive security, visibility, and control of
customer endpoints without added hardware or complexity. The Cisco
endpoint security portfolio includes three industry-leading
solutions-Cisco AMP for Endpoints, Cisco Umbrella, and Meraki
Systems Manager to offer protection against advanced malware and
threats.
Security teams know the endpoints in their
environments are being targeted by advanced threats, but often lack
the security talent, tools, and budget to address those challenges.
As a result, organizations of all sizes are choosing to augment
their in-house IT security with managed security services. Nearly
half of SMBs and enterprises in the US1 are
outsourcing at least one aspect of their security practice to third
parties, with most outsourcing multiple pieces of their
practice.
MSSPs today are helping customers protect their
network from advanced threats, reduce expense on detecting and
mitigating threats, and, augment talent amidst a cybersecurity
skills shortage. When MSSPs partner with the right vendor, security
services can become a profitable way to differentiate their
organization from the competition and strengthen existing customer
relationships.
The Cisco MSSP endpoint security portfolio was
built to help MSSPs take advantage of this massive opportunity,
featuring:
· Comprehensive Cloud-Based
Endpoint Security Portfolio
- No need to install additional infrastructure
- Offer a broad portfolio of cloud-based security
solutions:
- AMP for Endpoints: prevents breaches and blocks
malware at the point of entry, then continues to watch, analyze,
and record file activity, regardless of the file's disposition
- Cisco Umbrella: blocks requests to malicious or
unwanted destinations before a connection is even established. It
provides the visibility needed to protect internet access across
all devices on your clients' networks, all office locations, and
roaming users.
- Meraki Systems Manager: provides over-the-air
centralized management, diagnostics, and monitoring for all mobile
devices managed by your organization - from iPads and Androids to
Macs and PCs.
· Profitable & Scalable
Business Models: drive monetization of new services,
adding incremental revenue streams.
· Efficient Service Creation
& Ongoing Operations
- Experience fast and agile deployment of advanced
security solutions
- Manage customers efficiently through a
cloud-based, multitenant console
- Respond to threats quickly as products integrate
seamlessly into other Cisco and AMP security deployments
"Cisco AMP was integrated into our NetDefend®
Malware Protector Service and Malware Outbreak Service years ago,"
said Rick Chapman, CTO, InterVision Systems, LLC. "We worked
closely with Cisco as they developed their next-generation AMP
platform. With its multitenant, cloud-based delivery model, AMP for
Endpoints aligns with our operational needs and provides
flexibility to deliver enhanced security services that increase our
revenue and profitability."
"At a time when customers are moving to the cloud
and struggling with requirements to improve operational efficiency,
we're partnering with MSSPs to ensure they can deliver
comprehensive solutions with security, visibility and end point
control," said Gee Rittenhouse, SVP of Engineering, Security
Business Group, Cisco. "Through flexible licensing models and an
expanding portfolio, we address customer needs and the needs of our
MSSPs to differentiate and grow their businesses."
