Symantec™ Endpoint Protection combines Symantec AntiVirus™ with advanced threat prevention to deliver unmatched defense against malware such as viruses, worms, spyware, Trojans, zero-day threats and rootkits. The unified product delivers the most advanced technology available to protect from today's sophisticated threats and threats not seen before. It increases protection for laptops, desktops and server by including proactive technologies that automatically analyze application behaviors and network communications to detect and actively block threats. It is a single comprehensive product that gives you all these capabilities 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.                                                                                                  

This multilayered approach significantly lowers risks and increases confidence that business assets are protected. Symantec Endpoint Protection reduces administrative overhead and costs associated with managing multiple endpoint security products by providing this protection in a single agent that is administered via a single management console. This simplifies endpoint security administration and provides operational efficiencies such as one-click software updates and policy updates, unified and central reporting, and a single licensing and maintenance program.

Key benefits:

Secure

• Comprehensive protection — Symantec Endpoint Protection integrates best-of-breed technologies to stop  security threats—even from the most devious new and unknown attackers—before they penetrate the  network. It detects and blocks malicious software in real time, including viruses, worms, Trojan horses, spyware, adware, and rootkits.
• Proactive protection — TruScan™ Proactive Threat Scan is a unique Symantec technology used to score both good and bad behaviors of unknown applications, enhancing detection and reducing false positives without the need to create rule-based configurations.

• Global Intelligence Network — Delivers an unparalleled view of the entire Internet threat landscape. This intelligence results in actionable protection and peace of mind against evolving attacks.

Simple

• Single agent, single console — A full range of security technologies are integrated into a single agent and a centralized management console, with an intuitive user interface and Web-based graphical reporting. You are able to set and enforce security policies across the enterprise to protect your critical assets. Symantec Endpoint Protection simplifies management, reduces system resource usage, and requires no additional agents when adding Symantec Network Access Control support.
• Symantec Network Access Control — Features are automatically enabled on the agent and management console with the purchase of a license.
• Easy to deploy — Because it requires only a single agent and management console and it operates with an organization’s existing security and IT investments, Symantec Endpoint Protection is easy to implement and deploy. For organizations that want to outsource security monitoring and management, Symantec offers Managed Security Services to deliver real-time security protection.
• Lower cost of ownership — Symantec Endpoint Protection delivers a lower total cost of ownership by reducing administrative overhead as well as the costs associated with managing multiple endpoint security products. This unified approach to endpoint security simplifies administration and provides operational efficiencies such as single software updates and policy updates, unified and central reporting, and a single licensing and maintenance program.

Seamless

• Easy to install, configure, and manage — Symantec Endpoint Protection makes it easy to enable/disable and configure desired technologies to fit into your environment.
• Symantec Network Access Control ready — Each endpoint becomes “Symantec Network Access Control ready,” eliminating the need to deploy additional network access control endpoint agent software.
• Leverages existing security technologies and IT investments — Symantec Endpoint Protection works with other leading antivirus products, firewalls, IPS technologies, and network access control infrastructures. It also works with leading software deployment tools, patch management tools, and security information management tools.
• Integration with Altiris endpoint management solutions — Distributing software packages, migrating older Symantec AntiVirus™ or other antivirus deployments, and viewing new agent rollout status and activity is easier.

Key features

More than antivirus

• Antivirus and antispyware — Provides unmatched, best-of-breed malware protection, including market-leading antivirus protection, enhanced spyware protection, new rootkit protection, reduced memory footprint, and new dynamic performance adjustments to keep users productive.
• Network threat protection — A rules-based firewall engine and Generic Exploit Blocking (GEB) block malware before it can enter a system.
• Proactive threat protection — Providing protection against unseen threats (i.e., zero-day threats), it includes TruScan Proactive Threat Scan, which does not rely on a signature.
• Single agent and single management console — Antivirus, antispyware, desktop firewall, IPS, device and application control, and network access control (with the purchase of a Symantec Network Access Control license) are provided on a single agent—all managed by a single console.
