Symantec™ Endpoint Protection for Windows® XP Embedded 5.1
Protection for Windows XP Embedded and Windows® Embedded for
Point of Service (WEPOS) platforms
Overview
Symantec Endpoint Protection for Windows XP Embedded
5.1 offers advance defense against hackers and worms,
Trojan horses, viruses, and other malicious code attacking
and infecting embedded devices based on Windows XP
Embedded platforms. These specialized devices, such as
POS terminals, self-service kiosks, ATMs, thin clients, and
medical devices often have little or no protection against
today’s increasing threats. The Symantec solution provides
a multilayered security approach, including antivirus, an
application-centric firewall, application control, intrusion
prevention and detection, and policy enforcement, which
protects Windows XP Embedded or WEPOS devices from
being compromised by either inbound or outbound traffic.
