Cyberattacks hit organizations every day. Attackers continue to develop new tactics that evade front line defenses. Ransomware is also proliferating, with the number of successful, and expensive, ransomware attacks increasing year over year. And as hybrid work becomes the new normal, knowledge workers and their endpoints are increasingly exposed to threats beyond the reach of legacy corporate network security. Compounding this is the rising cost of a security breach, increasing almost 10% between 2020 and 2021, from $3.86 million to $4.24 million. To avoid costly damage, organizations need to get proactive about managing their endpoint detection and response.
Secure Endpoint Pro helps ensure business continuity by combining human and machine intelligence to do the heavy lifting of endpoint detection and response for you. An elite team of Cisco security researchers, investigators, and responders utilize integrated threat intelligence and threat hunting from our Talos threat intelligence group, defined investigations, and response playbooks to relieve your security team of this burden. Cisco Secure Endpoint Pro can identify and then stop threats, block malware, contain and remediate even advanced threats that evade front-line defenses. We look at all alert-able threats, investigate, prioritize them, and recommend response actions. We do this around the clock and around the globe, from our dedicated, global Security Operations Centers (SOCs).
As the baseline product for Secure Endpoint Pro, Cisco Secure Endpoint defends against cyberattacks with a cloud-delivered, single agent. It is the only endpoint security solution that comes with SecureX, a built-in extended detection and response (XDR) platform, allowing you to see more threats, block more attacks, and remediate faster.
When it comes to securing your endpoints, our focus is to effectively stop threats, while at the same time accelerating and maximizing your security operations with our team of elite security experts. Up your security game with Cisco Secure Endpoint Pro! Start by watching a video to add context and color to why endpoint protection is vital for your security program, and please visit our Secure Endpoint Pro page to learn more.
This vulnerability is due to a timing issue that occurs between various software components. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by persuading a user to put a malicious file into a specific folder and then persuading the user to execute the file within a limited time window. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the endpoint software to fail to quarantine the malicious file or kill its process.
With this initial integration, Secure Endpoint customers can now perform risk-based endpoint security. It enables customers to prioritize endpoint protection and enhances threat investigation to accelerate incident response with three main use cases:
Thanks Hari. Kenna Security has extensive platform support. Stay tuned as we are at work to expand the initial integration to deliver broader OS support and to enable a number of exciting customer outcomes for risk-based endpoint security.
Agreed, this seems like a false positive. The administrator of your AMP installation can either put in an exemption for that particular threat or they can exempt your working directory altogether. More details can be found here: -endpoints/215418-configure-and-manage-exclusions-in-cisco.html
Though malware prevention techniques are necessary for a complete next-generation endpoint security solution, combatting advanced threats requires additional measures. Secure Endpoint continuously monitors endpoints to help detect new and unknown threats.
As the number and variety of advanced threats designed to slip past preventative measures increase, the possibility of a breach should be treated as an eventuality. With that mindset, a powerful toolset should be deployed to help easily identify infected endpoints and understand the scope of an attack. In addition to multiple prevention and detection capabilities, Secure Endpoint offers granular endpoint visibility and response tools to handle security breaches quickly and efficiently.
Duo's Trusted Endpoints feature secures your sensitive applications by ensuring that only known devices can access Duo protected services. When a user authenticates via the Duo Prompt, we'll check for the access device's security posture in Cisco Secure Endpoint.
When Duo and Cisco Secure Endpoint have shared visibility into a Windows or macOS endpoint, Duo can block user access to applications protected by Duo from endpoints deemed compromised by Cisco Secure Endpoint. This is accomplished by:
These instructions assume you already have Cisco Secure Endpoint already deployed and actively monitoring your Windows and macOS endpoints. For instructions specific to deploying Cisco Secure Endpoint please refer to the Cisco Secure Endpoint support documentation.
Once you've configured the Cisco Secure Endpoint integration, you can configure the Trusted Endpoints policy to start blocking compromised endpoints as users authenticate to Duo-protected services and applications. Your client devices must be identified as trusted endpoints in Duo in order for Duo to utilize Cisco Secure Endpoint compromise information to permit or deny access to applications. Duo uses identifiers from the Duo certificate present on trusted endpoints or reported by Duo Desktop to match devices in Cisco Secure Endpoint and check their state.
Once the above option is enabled for a Duo policy and an end-user attempts access to the associated application or is part of a user group from a compromised endpoint their request should be blocked and they will see an error message.
Orbital allows you to query endpoints for detailed information wherever you have Orbital deployed. Secure Endpoint Advantage customers can deploy Orbital automatically if your endpoints already have a Connector installed. See the Secure Endpoint Console Secure Endpoint Console Help for the most current Connector version and other important information.
The Orbital endpoint agent (node) is automatically downloaded and installed when you enable Orbital in your Secure Endpoint policy. Ideally you will not have to download anything, but simply enable Orbital for your existing endpoints. If necessary you can download a Secure Endpoint Connector from the Secure Endpoint Console.
(Optional Step) Securely store workspace and API authorization key(s) or token(s) in Azure Key Vault. Azure Key Vault provides a secure mechanism to store and retrieve key values. Follow these instructions to use Azure Key Vault with an Azure Function App.

AlienApps operate through a deployed sensor and use APIs to integrate with the connected third-party technology. Select the sensor that can access the integration endpoint. The HTTPS connections to the API will originate from this sensor, so it is important to make sure the sensor has network access to the AlienApp API endpoints.
In this blog post, we combine the capabilities of Cisco Secure Endpoint with the versatility of Wazuh, a unified XDR and SIEM platform. Cisco Secure Endpoint offers cloud-delivered endpoint detection and response. We forward logs from Cisco Secure Endpoint to Wazuh, enabling you to streamline the collection, analysis, and alerting of security logs.
2. Create a Python script at /var/ossec/integrations/cisco_secure_endpoint.py to connect to the event stream and listen for Cisco logs. Replace the values of the user_name, queue_name, password, host, and port variables with the appropriate streaming credentials generated in step 1 above.
To test the integration, download an anti malware test file on a test endpoint where a Cisco Secure Endpoint agent is running. This will trigger alerts that will immediately appear on the Wazuh dashboard. We performed the integration on the Wazuh server, hence the reason why the agent name wazuh-server and the agent ID 000 in the alert data correspond to the Wazuh server.
Cisco Secure Endpoint (AMP for Endpoints) is a single-agent solution that provides comprehensive protection, detection, response, and user access coverage to defend against threats to your endpoints. The MAP engine in the Cisco Secure Endpoint monitors the network drives and processes and stops them from running if they exhibit malicious behavior. This is one of the reasons why it is considered one of the most effective tools against Ransomware.
We run queries to look for the exploitation attempts in the remaining queries. As we have seen above, our system is running version 2.14.0, which is vulnerable, but we are not sure if someone attempted to exploit the log4j vulnerabilities in the system. Anytime you see a result returned, it needs to be treated as a positive hit for the query, and it indicates that there is a match, i.e., somebody has attempted to exploit log4j on this endpoint. Please refer to the below screenshots for more information.
