Chapter 33      Blocking Malware and Prohibited Files 
  Working with Cloud Connections for FireAMP
Delete a Cisco cloud connection if you no longer want to receive malware events from the cloud. To 
temporarily stop malware events from being sent for a particular connection, you can disable the 
connection rather than deleting it. In this situation, the cloud stores the events until you re-enable the 
connection; the cloud then sends the stored events.
Caution
In rare cases — for example, with a very high event rate or a long-term disabled connection — the cloud 
may not be able to store all events generated while the connection is disabled.
Note that deregistering a connection using the FireAMP portal (instead of the Defense Center’s web 
interface) stops events from being sent, but does not remove the connection from the Defense Center. 
Deregistered connections show a failed state on the FireAMP Management page and you must delete 
them.
To enable or disable a cloud connection using the Defense Center:
Access: 
Admin
Step 1
On the FireAMP Management page, next to the connection you want to delete, click the slider, then 
confirm that you want to either enable or disable the connection.
When you enable a connection, the cloud begins sending events to the Defense Center, including any 
events that occurred while the connection was disabled. The cloud does not send events for disabled 
connections.
To delete a cloud connection using the Defense Center:
Access: 
Admin
Step 1
On the FireAMP Management page, next to the connection you want to delete, click the delete icon (
), 
then confirm you want to remove the connection.
The connection is removed and the cloud stops sending events to the Defense Center.
