Which Cisco product provides proactive endpoint protection and allows administrators to centrally manage the deployment?

Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFWs) primarily protect network perimeters and segments, offering protection at the network level rather than proactive, direct endpoint protection.

Cisco Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) for Endpoints (now Cisco Secure Endpoint) is specifically designed to provide proactive protection against advanced threats, including malware, on endpoint devices. It offers centralized management for deploying agents, monitoring threats, and responding to incidents across all protected endpoints.

Web Security Appliance (WSA) provides web threat protection and URL filtering, primarily at the gateway or proxy level, not directly on the endpoint for proactive security.

Email Security Appliance (ESA) protects against email-borne threats by inspecting email traffic at the gateway, not by providing proactive protection directly on endpoints.
