Why each option

Cisco AMP for Endpoints protects the Things layer where IoT devices reside and the Internet/Cloud layer through which those devices communicate and receive threat intelligence.

AInternet/CloudCorrect

The Internet/Cloud layer is protected because AMP for Endpoints relies on Cisco Talos cloud-delivered threat intelligence and file reputation lookups to analyze content traversing cloud connections from IoT devices, blocking malicious activity before it reaches the endpoint.

BControl Layer

The Control Layer in IoT represents operational technology control systems that require specialized OT/ICS security solutions, not endpoint protection agents.

CData Center

Data Center protection is addressed by solutions such as Cisco Secure Workload, which focuses on workload segmentation and east-west traffic, not AMP for Endpoints.

DAccess Points

Access Point security is managed by network access control solutions such as Cisco ISE and wireless LAN controller policies, not endpoint protection software.

EThingsCorrect

The Things layer represents the physical IoT endpoint devices themselves, and AMP for Endpoints secures them directly through agent-based monitoring, behavioral analysis, and retrospective malware detection running on each device.
