Cisco Secure Endpoint
Rutgers has an agreement with Cisco to offer Cisco Secure Endpoint for all university-owned equipment.
What is Cisco Secure Endpoint?
- Cisco Secure Endpoint is a cloud-managed endpoint security solution that provides advanced protection against viruses, malware, and other cyber-threats by detecting, preventing, and responding to threats.
- Prevent: Strengthen defenses using the best global threat intelligence and block malware in real time.
- Detect: Continuously monitor and record all file activity to quickly detect stealthy malware.
- Respond: Accelerate investigations and automatically remediate malware across PCs, Macs, Linux, servers and mobile devices (Android and iOS).
- Cisco Secure Endpoint provides superior protection against viruses and malware by continuously monitoring and analyzing all system activity rather than depending solely on virus definitions. This, combined with Cisco’s global threat intelligence, enables Rutgers to quickly identify and remediate security threats. AMP supports Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android operating systems. Cisco Secure Endpoint offers granular delegated administrative controls with flexible reporting tools.
Benefits to the University
- Cisco Secure Endpoint is built on an extensive collection of real-time threat intelligence and dynamic malware analytics supplied by the Talos Security Intelligence Group and Threat Grid intelligence feeds.
- Continuously detect and monitor malware, immediately and retrospectively.
- Protects Windows, Macs, Linux, servers, and mobile devices (Android and iOS).
- Record file activity over time to track malware’s spread and scope.
- Correlate discrete events into coordinated attacks.
- Access global threat intelligence to strengthen network defenses.
- Gain deep visibility, context, and control to quickly detect, analyze, and remediate breaches.
- Get agentless detection to catch malware before it compromises the OS level.
- Defend endpoints from all exploit based, memory injection attacks, including ransomware using in-memory techniques.
Deployment
- Cisco Secure Endpoint is managed through an easy-to-use, web-based console.
- It is a lightweight endpoint connector, with no performance impact on users.
- Analysis is done in the cloud, not on the endpoint.
- The solution is offered as a subscription on endpoints, including coverage for Windows, Macs, Linux, servers and mobile devices (Android and iOS).
