The all-encompassing Symantec End Point Protection
* Symantec end point protection replaces the following legacy Symantec products:
Symantec anti-virus corporation edition
Symantec client security
Sygate enterprise protection
The new product is a comprehensive end point security product delivering malware (virus, spam, spyware, adware), network/internet protection, firewall, IDS, application and device control. It combines both signature and heuristics based detection to capture known and zero-day exploits. The product comes with an embedded database recommended for servers managing upto 500 clients or can use an external MSSQL database.
* End point protection contains protection manager, which is a server managing protection clients and is administered via protection console. Console can be installed on the server or any client to manage remotely. The product also contains network access control in dormant mode, which can be enabled by procuring the appropriate license.
* End point protection is configured centrally using policies. Live update and anti-virus policies are the most common used to control definitions update and scheduled scanning. Policies can be applied globally, group-wide or within locations inside groups. Locations are identified by client IP addresses, DNS servers etc, enabling enforcement of different policies for remote clients or for telecommuters.
* Installation is done by first installing end point protection manager and console, running deployment and migration wizard to create a client package. Client package can then be deployed through the manager or through in-house deployment architecture. Migration wizard also allows migrating the server from previous version of the product such as anti-virus corporate edition and client security.
