Cisco Offers Cloud-Based Endpoint Security Solutions for Managed Security Service Providers
17 February 2018 - 12:00AM
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.”
