Hello, quick question about Cisco ThreatGrid/Secure Malware Analytics & ESAs - I just want to make sure I'm not missing something obvious here:
1) We recently re-licensed some Cisco ESA's - 2 x C300V's
2) When we did this, we received an email from "Cisco Threat Grid Provisioning" regarding: "Thread Grid EMAIL_SEC services are ready for provisioning"
3) This email stated: "Your purchase of Cisco Secure Email allows you to integrate your Cisco Email Security (ESA) and Security Management Appliances (SMA) with Cisco Secure Malware Analytics" - and explained the basic steps for activation and integration
4) I did some research on ThreatGrid/Secure Malware Analytics, decided it looked helpful, and did the activation so our ESA's could send data to ThreatGrid/Secure Malware Analytics. I also got my ThreatGrid login activated and logged in and had a look around.
5) Upon login, like 95% of the functionality seems to be turned off/nonfunctional. Clicking "search" for example (see attached) there is almost zero functionality - but I do get the "Click here to upgrade" which is basically a "call sales" pitch.
Am I correct to assume this is just, like, duplicitous salesy sleight of hand, and not something technical I am missing?
i.e. that "Your purchase of Cisco Secure Email allows you to integrate your Cisco Email Security (ESA) and Security Management Appliances (SMA) with Cisco Secure Malware Analytics" actually just means ""Your purchase of Cisco Secure Email allows you to integrate your Cisco Email Security (ESA) and Security Management Appliances (SMA) with Cisco Secure Malware Analytics ... if you would like to pay us more to license these features, which we won't tell you until you've gone through the trouble of linking your ESA's to TG ...(paraphrase mine)"
thanks all
