Endpoint Security Examples

Last year, we saw 317 million new malware variants, while targeted attacks and zero-day threats were at an all-time high. The threat environment is evolving quickly and given the size and complexity of today’s networks, organizations are struggling to keep up.   The latest version of Symantec™ Endpoint Protection 12.1.6 is designed to address these challenges with a layered approach to security at the endpoint. It goes beyond traditional antivirus to include firewall, Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) and advanced protection technologies powered by the world’s largest civilian threat intelligence network. Symantec Insight™ technology blocks rapidly-mutating malware and enables faster scan times, while SONAR™ stops zero-day threats by monitoring file behavior and blocking suspicious files while they execute. Granular policy settings such as application control and external media control provide an added layer of security. With a single management console and high-powered agent, SymantecEndpoint Protection delivers powerful protection at the endpoint without compromising performance.     Key Features SEP 12.1.6 Delivers:   Unrivaled Security – Stops targeted attacks and advanced persistent threats with intelligent security and layered protection Blazing Performance – Performance so fast your users won’t know it is there Smarter Management – Single management console across physical and virtual platforms with granular policy control 5 Layers of Protection – Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1.6 provides 5 layers of protection in one high performance agent all managed through a single console Extended Policy Control Features Greater controls with System Lockdown, Application and Device Control, Host Integrity Checking and Policy Enforcement and Location Awareness Optimization for Virtual Environments – Symantec Endpoint Protection protects your high-density virtual environment while maintaining performance levels superior to agentless solutions and providing end-to-endsecurity visibility     Reference by Symantec
