Best for Cisco shops that want endpoint protection and response
Cisco Secure Endpoint, formerly AMP for Endpoints, adds built-in or managed detection and response, threat hunting and USB device control, backed by Cisco's Talos research. Prices are not published, and it only really pays off if you want it tied into Cisco XDR and Duo. It is not a consumer antivirus.
Who Cisco Secure Endpoint is for
- Fits if you already run Cisco XDR or Duo and want endpoint data in the same place
- Works for teams that want a managed threat-hunting option from the vendor
Who Cisco Secure Endpoint is not for
- Not for you if you want a published price, since buying goes through Cisco or a partner
- Skip it if you want a consumer antivirus, as this is sold to businesses
- Watch out: the trial terms were not read and supported operating systems are not on the page
- Too light for a small shop with no security staff to read alerts
Why Cisco Secure Endpoint gets a 2.2
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyNo price is published, so there is nothing to set against this category's $2.58 to $6.50 a month; the listing says it is by quote. Buying goes through Cisco or a partner.
- DFree plan and trialThe page points to trials and demos on a separate Cisco page whose terms were not read, so we cannot grade it above a D.
- BFeaturesDetection and response, threat hunting, USB device control, vulnerability management and an XDR link. The listing names no gap in the core job.
- CEase of useBusiness product with a console and agents to roll out; no store rating is on record and the listing shows setup work, so it sits at the ordinary grade.
- BPlatforms and integrationsA web console with real integrations: Cisco XDR, Duo, Talos and Kenna Security. Supported operating systems and phone apps are not listed.

Keep Cisco Secure Endpoint, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Cisco Secure Endpoint you would be making an engine that recognises new malware as it appears. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
What you could not
- An engine that recognises new malware as it appears.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Cisco Secure Endpoint’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Cisco Secure Endpoint?
Cisco Secure Endpoint, formerly AMP for Endpoints, is a cloud-native endpoint security product that combines prevention, EDR and threat hunting. It draws on Cisco Talos threat intelligence, ties into Cisco XDR, and is sold to organizations through Cisco and its partners.
Worth knowing
- No prices are published on the product page; buying goes through Cisco or a partner.
- The page offers trials and demos through a separate Cisco page, and its terms were not read.
- It is sold to businesses, not as a consumer antivirus.
- Supported operating systems are not listed on the page read, so platforms show only the cloud console.
Key features
- Built-in or managed EDR
- Detection and response is included, with a managed option, plus threat hunting and risk-based vulnerability management from Kenna Security.
- Talos threat intelligence
- Cisco says detections come from Talos research, so a threat seen once can be blocked everywhere, with one-click isolation of an infected host.
- USB device control
- Admins create rules so only approved USB devices work, and blocked-device events appear in investigations.
- Cisco XDR link
- Unifies incidents across Cisco products and runs automated playbooks from Cisco XDR.
- Talos threat hunting
- Cisco analysts search a customer's environment for threats, map findings to MITRE ATT&CK and send alerts with remediation advice.
