Symantec Endpoint Protection
Symantec Endpoint Protection combines
Symantec AntiVirus™ with advanced threat prevention to deliver an unmatched
defence 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 anti spyware signature-based protection. It also provides advanced
threat prevention that protects endpoints from targeted attacks and attacks not
seen before. It includes turnkey, proactive security technologies that automatically
analyze application behaviour 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 gives you all the capabilities you need, now 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 security 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 via 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.
Unmatched protection from the leading endpoint
security vendor
Symantec Endpoint Protection contains various proactive
technologies to protect your business and critical
assets from unseen threats (zero day threats) These
intrusion policies are:
- Application Access Protection:
Restricts
access to registry, files, folders, and processes
(ability to lockdown an application)
- Generic Signatures: Vulnerability-based
protection; a single signature can detect 100's of
new threats
- Behaviour- Blocking: Analyze application behaviour
(known and unknown applications). Behavior blocking
provides more accurate detection without the need to
set up rule-based configurations or the worries of
false positives
-
Compliance on Contact: If a workstation connecting to the
network doesn't comply with the organisation's security policy,
Symantec Endpoint Protection's Self Enforcement Option will
force a remediation process that will either force the download
of critical Windows / antivirus updates, or even quarantine the
machine from the network until an identified item of malicious
code is removed if this is required.
Provides much more than traditional
anti-virus, including proactive protection from unknown
threats
Symantec Endpoint Protection provides multilayered
protection that integrates proactive security
technologies to protect against evasive malware and
crimeware, from known and unknown threats; whether they
originate inside, or outside, the organization.
