# Cisco Secure Endpoint review (2026): is it worth it? > Cloud-native endpoint protection and EDR, formerly AMP for Endpoints Checked Nov 13, 2026 ยท graded Nov 13, 2026 by ToolGPA. 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. - **Category:** Antivirus & Malware Protection - **Made by:** Cisco - **Website:** https://www.cisco.com/site/us/en/products/security/endpoint-security/secure-endpoint/index.html - **Runs on:** Web - **Who should skip it:** Not for you if you want a published price, since buying goes through Cisco or a partner. - **Facts last checked:** Nov 13, 2026 ## Pricing Cisco Secure Endpoint's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site. ## 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. ## Good for - Organizations already invested in Cisco security and networking - Teams that want threat hunting and an XDR view from one vendor ## 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. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 2.2 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. 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. - **Value for money: C.** No 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. - **Free plan and trial: D.** The page points to trials and demos on a separate Cisco page whose terms were not read, so we cannot grade it above a D. - **Features: B.** Detection and response, threat hunting, USB device control, vulnerability management and an XDR link. The listing names no gap in the core job. - **Ease of use: C.** Business 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. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** A web console with real integrations: Cisco XDR, Duo, Talos and Kenna Security. Supported operating systems and phone apps are not listed. These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from Cisco's own pages on 13 November 2026. Not based on using the product, and shorter than our full reviews. ## Where it stands among antivirus apps - Cisco Secure Endpoint's GPA of 2.2 is higher than 26 of the 56 other antivirus apps we grade, and level with 5. - It stands best on features (B, above 36 of 56) and worst on free plan and trial (D, above 12). The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/antivirus ## Keep it, 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. - You could not: An engine that recognises new malware as it appears. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself. - You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it. ## Works with Cisco XDR, Duo, Cisco Talos, Kenna Security **Tags:** Malware protection, AI features ## Alternatives - [CrowdStrike Falcon Go](https://toolgpa.com/tools/crowdstrike-falcon-go): Small-business antivirus with USB device control and mobile protection.
