I think MERAKI permits enterprises to better combat against threat on multiple levels. Of course Advanced-Sec version of MX is quite powerful thanks to AMP and IPS/IDS with a quick and easy way of configuration, but this is not the only action to take. A key advantage with Meraki is to have natively a complete set of actions to coordinate for a better global security. For instance on the Wi-Fi part you can use NAT mode to isolate each single user behind a NAT like a container, and consequently being protected of other users potentially propagating a virus or a malware attack. With Firewall & traffic shaping, from the source of the connectivity you can avoid enterprises’ users to go to non-desired/suspicious traffic categories on internet… And on top if you couple your enterprise’s strategy with the embedded MDM (SM) to register all your corporates’ devices, with Sentry you can automatically deploy your internal policies to any devices and contain or limit the possible security breaches. To conclude, the Meraki cloud solution is a quite complete mix of way to configure new modern networks, efficiently and easily. I would just propose to think about a partnership with a third party AV client to deploy via SM, again on a cloud based like the unified Next-Generation Endpoint Protection Sentinel-One solution.
