The 老司机福利网 Endpoint Protection Policy mandates that all USA owned desktop and laptop computers connected to the USA network, or networked resources, must have anti-virus software installed. To assist in implementing this policy, the 老司机福利网 Computer Services Center has purchased Cisco Secure Endpoint in order to better protect university-owned devices. This contract does NOT extend to personal devices and prohibits its installation on non-USA purchased devices. 

Cisco Secure Endpoint offers cloud-delivered endpoint protection, advanced endpoint detection, and response across multi-domain control points. It helps prevent breaches and blocks malware, then rapidly detects, contains, and remediates advanced threats that evade common defenses.

  • Prevents: Blocks known malware by automatically leveraging the best global threat intelligence and enforces Zero Trust by blocking risky endpoints from gaining access to applications.
  • Detects: Runs complex queries and advanced investigations across all endpoints, and continuously monitors all file activity to detect stealthy malware.
  • Responds: Rapidly contains the attack by isolating an infected endpoint and remediating malware across PCs, Macs,Linux and Android devices.
