Enable Meraki advanced malware protection AMP

The platform identifies networks where Meraki Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) is not enabled and recommends enabling this critical security feature. Failing to enable AMP leaves networks vulnerable to malware threats, potentially compromising network security and exposing organizations to cyber attacks.

Recommendation Impact Across KPIs

Business Opportunities

Product Sales Opportunity

As a provider this recommendation provides an opportunity to sell Meraki advanced security and enterprise licenses required for AMP functionality. The platform will identify networks lacking appropriate licensing for targeted sales efforts.

Professional Services Opportunity

The recommendation provides an opportunity for AMP configuration and optimization services. The estimated revenue is calculated at $817.52 per device for a 1-year Advanced Security License, multiplied by the number of devices in networks where AMP is not enabled.

Remediation Guidance
