Cisco Advanced Malware Protection Threat Grid — 3-Year Subscription License (1 Appliance)

Experience enterprise-grade malware protection and proactive threat intelligence with Cisco Advanced Malware Protection Threat Grid. This 3-year subscription license is designed for a single appliance, delivering powerful dynamic malware analysis, comprehensive file intelligence, and seamless integration with the broader Cisco security portfolio. Whether you’re defending a small business or a large enterprise, Threat Grid helps your security team rapidly detect, analyze, and respond to evolving threats while simplifying license management and renewal. With Threat Grid, you gain deeper insights into how files behave in controlled environments, enabling faster containment and more informed remediation decisions across endpoints, networks, and the cloud.

• Powerful, scalable sandbox analysis: Threat Grid executes suspicious files and URLs in isolated, instrumented sandboxes to reveal real-time behaviors, regressions, and stealthy techniques used by modern malware. The resulting reports combine behavioral indicators, dynamic running traces, and authoritative evidence that accelerates incident response and helps security teams prioritize remediation.
• Integrated threat intelligence and defense synergy: This solution works in concert with Cisco Advanced Malware Protection for Endpoint (AMP for Endpoints) and other Cisco security products to share telemetry, enrich detections, and orchestrate automated responses. Expect improved visibility across the attack chain, faster correlation of events, and more precise decision-making for containment and remediation.
• Three-year subscription for one appliance: The license provides a predictable, long-term access window to Threat Grid’s capabilities, reducing license administration overhead. Delivery is electronic, enabling quick activation so your team can start analyzing threats with minimal downtime and uninterrupted protection through the term.
• Centralized analytics dashboard and reporting: A unified console brings all analysis results, scoring, and evidence together. Your team can filter by file type, threat family, or hash, export forensic details for audits, and tailor dashboards to track indicators of compromise (IOCs) relevant to your organization’s risk profile.
• Flexible deployment and renewal options: The 1-appliance configuration suits a range of environments, from on-premises data centers to hybrid deployments. As needs evolve, you can extend coverage or upgrade licensing to accommodate additional appliances or higher throughput, ensuring your defense scales with your business.

How to Install Cisco Advanced Malware Protection Threat Grid

Installing Threat Grid on a single appliance involves preparing your environment, activating the license, and configuring settings that align with your security objectives. The steps below outline a practical, high-level approach to rapid deployment without sacrificing the depth of analysis Threat Grid provides. Always refer to your organization’s change management policies and Cisco’s official deployment guides for exact procedures and best practices.

• Prepare your environment: Confirm hardware compatibility for the Threat Grid-enabled appliance, verify network connectivity to Cisco Threat Grid endpoints, and ensure you have administrative access to install, license, and configure the system. Validate that system time, DNS, and connectivity to required services are synchronized to avoid analysis delays or failed submissions.
• Activate the license: Use the electronic license delivery to activate the 3-year subscription on the appliance. Ensure that the activation process completes successfully and that Threat Grid analysis features are enabled in the management console. Record the license identifiers for audits and renewal reminders.
• Connect to the Cisco security ecosystem: If you use AMP for Endpoints or other Cisco security services, link Threat Grid to these sources to enable telemetry sharing, enrichment of malware intelligence, and streamlined workflows for investigators. Establish role-based access so analysts can submit samples and review results securely.
• Configure analysis policies and submission workflows: Set file-type allowances, sandbox duration, and the depth of analysis (e.g., static vs. dynamic analysis, network interactions, and memory behavioral tracing). Customize alert thresholds and reporting preferences to balance thoroughness with incident response timelines.
• Submit samples and interpret results: Begin by submitting a controlled set of test samples to verify submission paths, analyze the resulting sandbox reports, and validate that the dashboards reflect expected activity. Use the evidence collected—screenshots, behavioral logs, and IOC data—to inform containment decisions and post-incident remediation.
