More and more companies today are finding themselves under a 
multitude of common and advanced malware attacks. As a security 
professional or IT manager, you are likely struggling to effectively identify 
attacks, let alone prioritize the most dangerous ones that should be 
addressed first.
Struggle no longer. With the Cisco® Advanced Malware Protection 
(AMP) Threat Grid, unified malware analysis and threat analytics 
features become integrated with your existing network and security 
infrastructure, including mail gateway, security information and 
event management (SIEM), and governance, risk management, and 
compliance (GRC) platforms. Drawing on a very large static and dynamic 
malware analysis solution, you get timely, context-rich, actionable 
intelligence to identify and mitigate malware.
Cisco AMP Threat Grid is deployed in multiple locations around the 
world, where it has helped security operations center and incident 
response teams take more effective and consistent action (Figure 1).
