AMP for endpoints/networks vs AMP in firepower

kunalchopra1992 — Fri, 21 Feb 2020 05:01:06 GMT

Hi Team.

We have two categories of AMP services , one which is used as firepower services and other one is AMP for endpoints/networks.

Can anyone please throw some light on the differences between them and how exactly they work?

Network amp run on network. It scans the traffic for malicious files when the traffic is passing through a firepower device. So it can detect /prevent file based threats on the network.

AMP for endpoint as the name suggests is an endpoint client which can be installed on windows,mac etc. Its like a security software which scans the end PC and is independent of AMP service on Firepower network device.

AMP for endpoint is managed by separate console cloud account.

network AMP can be used on any firepower appliance along with its IPS capability (subject to licensing )

Rate if helps.
