Q. By installing a AMP Update Server, will that make a difference, specific for the non-persistent VDI environment?
A. The AMP Update Server will help you conserve Internet bandwidth but will not affect system performance.

Q. Does AMP support file monitoring? Not just for malicious files but integrity check for any change in any file system executables and all. If yes, please share the resources.
A. AMP for Endpoints will keep monitoring all the files status, while there's file copy, move, delete, AMP for Endpoints will keep track that and you can use Device trajectory to check the file's history trajectory in the endpoint.
But please do note that even that it does look for malicious changes, AMP is not a replacement for FIM (File Integrity Monitoring).

Q. What is the best practice recommendation for exclusion for protected processes and applications?
A. Here is the exclusion best practice that you can refer to: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/security/amp-endpoints/213681-best-practices-for-amp-for-endpoint-excl.html
