Security Management
and Reporting
Install the Security
Management solutions
and Endpoint Protection
Manager
Install the security management technologies first to make sure you will be collecting all
relevant information. The Protection Center v2 will only collect data from the time of
installation on. No historical data will be collected from existing security solutions.
■ Install the Symantec Protection Center v2 to virtual hardware (larger environments may require
physical hardware). Very few administrative actions can be performed directly from the SPC server. All
administration will use a supported web browser from a networked computer.
■ Install the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager. The SEPM server can be installed to a shared
resource server but make sure the system requirements are appropriate for all server activities.
■ Install the Network Access Control Self-Enforcement Manager. This adds a section to the Endpoint
Protection Manager and does not require a separate console.
■ Register the Endpoint Protection Manager with the Symantec Protection Center v2.
■ Install the Symantec Management Platform. The Notification Server is the main component of the
Symantec Management Platform and is required for IT Analytics for Endpoint Protection and the System
Recovery Management Solution. The Symantec Management Platform can also be used to simplify the
agent rollout for Endpoint Protection by using the Symantec Endpoint Protection Integration Component
(SEPIC).
Messaging and Web
Security
Install the Mail,
Messaging and Web
Gateway solutions
Install the gateway servers next to protect web and mail traffic at the network perimeter.
■ Install the Messaging Gateway to virtual hardware (ESX/ESXi).
■ Install the Web Gateway to virtual hardware (ESX/ESXi).
■ Install Mail Security to your existing Exchange or Domino mail server. Although the Messaging
Gateway will catch inbound and outbound threats, installing protection to the mail server will catch
threats between internal users as well as scan historical data already in the mail stores.
■ Register the Mail, Messaging and Gateway solutions with the Symantec Protection Center v2.
