Detect, contain, and respond to endpoint threats automatically

DeveloperSecurityAutomationCloud & InfrastructureMonitoring & Alerts

Cisco Secure Endpoint (formerly AMP for Endpoints) is an enterprise endpoint detection and response (EDR) platform that combines antivirus, advanced malware protection, and threat intelligence to detect, contain, and investigate threats across your device fleet. Connect it to Actionist and your agents can poll for new threat events, retrieve endpoint activity trajectories, check CVE exposure across the fleet, move devices between policy groups, audit file lists, and compile compliance activity logs — all without anyone logging into the Secure Endpoint console.

Critical threat detected — incident ticket and SOC alert

When Cisco Secure Endpoint detects a Critical-severity threat event, the agent fetches the full event details and the endpoint's activity trajectory, creates a Jira incident ticket with the enriched context, and posts a structured alert to the #soc-alerts Slack channel. The analyst has everything they need before they even open the console.

With Actionist

What your agent runs for you

Sales
20 min / week
Manual endpoint security check before customer calls
Sales managers manually ask IT to verify laptop security status before important meetings — a process with no consistent schedule and frequent gaps.
Sales Agent
0 min
Agent checks sales endpoint health before every deal cycle
Every Monday the agent sweeps sales-team endpoints for active threats, ensuring no compromised machine participates in a prospect meeting or proposal exchange.
Marketing
15 min / week
Manual marketing device security review
Marketing leads manually request IT security checks on campaign devices — usually only after an issue is already reported, not proactively.
Marketing Agent
0 min
Agent flags marketing endpoint threats before assets ship
The agent reviews marketing endpoint events weekly and catches any threat on creative devices before compromised assets enter campaign distribution.
Customer Support
18 min / week
Manual support endpoint security review
Support team leads manually check with IT about endpoint health when a support agent reports unusual behaviour — no proactive monitoring routine exists.
Customer Support Agent
0 min
Agent screens support endpoints for customer-data threats
The agent checks support-team endpoints for credential-theft and exfiltration events weekly, escalating any anomaly before it affects customer data handling.
Human Resources
30 min / week
Manual HR endpoint policy management
HR raises a ticket with IT for each new hire and leaver device group change. Tickets are processed in batches, often leaving devices in the wrong policy group for days.
Human Resources Agent
0 min
Agent automates endpoint group assignment at onboarding and offboarding
The HR agent triggers Move Computer to Group for new hires and leavers automatically, ensuring devices are in the correct policy group from day one and moved to restricted on last day.
Finance
45 min / week
Manual finance endpoint vulnerability reporting
The security team manually runs vulnerability exports for finance endpoints on request — usually monthly before audits, missing patch risks that accumulate between runs.
Finance Agent
0 min
Agent delivers weekly CVE scorecard for finance endpoints
Every Friday the agent produces a ranked vulnerability scorecard for all finance-team endpoints, giving the CFO current patch risk data before month-end close.
Operations
90 min / week
Manual IT fleet security reporting
IT ops manually exports endpoint lists, IOC reports, and event logs from the Cisco Secure Endpoint console each week — a fragmented process spanning multiple console sections.
Operations Agent
0 min
Agent reconciles fleet inventory and IOC threats weekly
The Operations Agent reconciles the endpoint inventory against the CMDB, logs new IOCs, and delivers weekly event volume metrics — all without manual console access.
Legal
35 min / week
Manual compliance audit export from Cisco Secure Endpoint
The legal and compliance team requests manual data exports from IT for each audit — admin logs, file lists, and policy reports are pulled separately and formatted into a spreadsheet.
Legal Agent
0 min
Agent produces monthly compliance audit package automatically
On the first of every month, the Legal Agent assembles an admin activity log, file list state, and policy snapshot into a compliance sheet — ready for the auditor with no manual effort.

How to plug Cisco Secure Endpoint into Actionist

Pick the connection method that suits your environment.

Connect via OAuth2 using a SecureX API Client. Register a client in the Cisco SecureX portal to get a Client ID and Client Secret, then select your region.

Open SecureX API Clients

Click Add API Client, give the client a name (e.g. Actionist Integration), select the required scopes for the operations you want to automate, and click Save. Note the Client ID and Client Password.

Enter credentials in Actionist

In Actionist, select your region, paste the Client ID and Client Password (as Client Secret), and click Test Connection. Actionist verifies the handshake before any actions run.

Credentials you'll need

FAQs

Questions about Cisco Secure Endpoint + Actionist

How does Actionist connect to Cisco Secure Endpoint?

Go to the Apps tab, find Cisco Secure Endpoint, and click Connect. Select OAuth2 and enter your Client ID and Client Secret from your SecureX API Client registration. You will also need to specify your region (North America, Europe, or Asia Pacific, Japan, and China). Actionist runs a test call to confirm the connection before any actions run.

How do I get a Client ID and Client Secret for the OAuth2 connection?

You need to register a SecureX API Client in the Cisco SecureX portal. Navigate to Administration → API Clients, create a new client, and note the Client ID and Client Password (used as the Client Secret). The client must have the appropriate scopes for the operations you want to automate, such as reading event data or moving endpoints between groups.

Can I combine Cisco Secure Endpoint with other apps in the same automation?

Yes. Common multi-app scenarios include: polling for new endpoint events and posting critical threat alerts to a Slack channel; writing daily vulnerability counts to Google Sheets for trend tracking; cross-referencing compromised computer GUIDs with your asset register in HubSpot; and routing high-severity events to PagerDuty or Jira for incident response ticketing.

Does Actionist support real-time alerts from Cisco Secure Endpoint?

No. Actionist's agents poll Cisco Secure Endpoint for new events and threat detections within about a minute. There is no instant push notification path. For time-sensitive SOC scenarios, schedule polling at the most frequent cadence your plan supports and pair with an approval gate before any automated remediation action runs.

Will the agent automatically isolate or quarantine endpoints without my approval?

Actionist can automate front-office and operational security tasks, such as reading event data, listing computers, checking vulnerabilities, and moving endpoints between policy groups. Destructive actions, such as isolating an endpoint or deleting a computer record, always require an explicit Approval Mode confirmation before they execute. The agent never acts autonomously on a destructive endpoint action.

How can I get a daily digest of new threat events from Cisco Secure Endpoint?

Use the List Events action with a date filter to pull all detections from the past 24 hours, filter by severity or event type, and write the results to a Google Sheets row or a Jira ticket. You can schedule this daily at 07:00 so the SOC team opens their shift with a pre-built overnight event digest rather than manually exporting from the Secure Endpoint console.

Can Actionist check which vulnerabilities are present on a specific endpoint?

Yes. Use List Computer Vulnerabilities with the endpoint GUID to pull current CVE exposure for a specific machine. The agent can compare that list against your approved vulnerability baseline in a Google Sheet, flag any newly appeared CVEs, and post the delta to the #security-ops Slack channel for morning triage.

How do I automate moving an endpoint to a different policy group?

Use the Move Computer to Group action. The agent reads the computer GUID from your asset register or from a prior List Computers result, then calls Move Computer to Group with the target group GUID. You can build approval gates so a human confirms the move before it executes, ensuring policy changes are always reviewed. Group GUIDs are retrieved using List Groups.
