How does Cisco Secure Endpoint provide next-generation protection?

While Cisco Secure Endpoint can help protect against ransomware, its core method of next-generation protection is not encrypting data on user endpoints.

Cisco Secure Endpoint leverages both Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) for preventive security, such as blocking known threats, and Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) for continuous monitoring, threat hunting, and incident response on endpoints, offering comprehensive advanced threat protection.

Cisco pxGrid is an integration framework for sharing threat intelligence, but it is not the primary mechanism by which Cisco Secure Endpoint provides its core next-generation protection.

Integration with Cisco FTD devices enhances overall network security but does not describe how Cisco Secure Endpoint provides next-generation protection directly on the endpoint itself.
