Symantec™ Endpoint Protection

The next generation of antivirus technology from Symantec

Overview

Advanced threat protection

Symantec™ Endpoint Protection combines Symantec

AntiVirus™ with advanced threat prevention to deliver an

unmatched defense against malware for laptops, desktops,

and servers. It provides protection against even the most

sophisticated attacks that evade traditional security

measures, such as rootkits, zero-day attacks, and

mutating spyware.

Symantec Endpoint Protection delivers more than

world-class, industry-leading antivirus and antispyware

signature-based protection. It also provides advanced threat

prevention that protects endpoints from targeted attacks

and attacks not seen before. It includes turnkey, proactive

technologies that automatically analyze application

behaviors and network communications to detect and

block suspicious activities, as well as administrative

control features that allow you to deny specific device

and application activities deemed as high risk for your

organization. You can even block specific actions based on

the location of the user.

This multilayered approach significantly lowers risks and

gives you the confidence that your business assets are

protected. It is a comprehensive product that gives you the

capabilities you need now, along with the ability to enable

the pieces you need, as you need them. Whether the attack

is coming from a malicious insider or is externally motivated,

endpoints will be protected.

Symantec Endpoint Protection increases protection and

helps lower your total cost of ownership by reducing

administrative overhead as well as the costs associated with

managing multiple endpoint security products. It provides

a single agent that is administered by a single management

console. This simplifies endpoint security administration

and provides operational efficiencies such as single software

updates and policy updates, unified and central reporting,

and a single licensing and maintenance program.

Symantec Endpoint Protection is easy to implement and

deploy. Symantec provides a range of consulting, technical

education, and support services that guide organizations

through the migration, deployment, and management of

the solution and help them realize the full value of their

investment. For organizations that want to outsource

security monitoring and management, Symantec also offers

Managed Security Services to deliver real-time security

protection.
