Breaches happen.
It makes us cringe to say it, but it's the obvious truth. A week doesn't go by that we don't hear about the latest breach in the news. All of us in the IT security industry would love to say, "our technology can prevent all breaches." But it's a pipedream. Being able to prevent 100 percent of breaches or detect all threats trying to infiltrate the network is simply not reality.
Of course, we prevent what we can. And we can get pretty close. In fact, Cisco Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) was shown to block 99 percent of incoming malware in a comparative test on Breach Detection Systems done by NSS Labs. Ninety-nine percent is pretty darn good, and in fact, Cisco AMP emerged a leader in that test. But still, it only takes one percent to cause a breach.
When malware gets through your front-line defenses, you need continuous threat protection in place that can quickly detect it, contain it, and remediate it before damage can be done. Cisco AMP provides the visibility and control to do exactly that. Even after files are initially inspected, AMP's continuous analysis engines constantly monitor activity on endpoints, mobile devices, and in the network to spot any signs of malicious behavior, and provide continuous detection of threats in your environment. As a result, you have protection before, during, and after an attack.
Today I am excited to announce that Cisco AMP just got even better. We are announcing new features and new innovations that enhance Cisco AMP's protection capabilities and continuous threat protection in the following areas:
Continuous Detection and Retrospective Security
Threat Intelligence and Dynamic Malware Analysis
Deployment Flexibility and Choice
