Symantec Endpoint Protection product family:

Note: Shaded Area = Centrally managed via a single agent and single console.

Key Features:

• 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 - Offers a rules-based firewall engine and Generic Exploit Blocking (GEB) that blocks malware before it can enter a system.
• Proactive threat protection - Provides protection for unseen threats (i.e., zero-day threats). Includes Proactive Threat Scan, which does not rely on a signatures.
• Single agent and single management console - Provides antivirus, antispyware, desktop firewall, IPS, device control and network access control (with the purchase of a Symantec Network Access Control licence) on a single agent - all managed by a single management console.
  

Key Benefits:

• Proactive protection - New Proactive Threat Scan uses a unique Symantec technology to score both good and bad behaviours of unknown applications, enhancing detection and reducing false positives without the need to create rules-based configurations.
• Industry-best threat landscape intelligence - Symantec's protection mechanisms leverage the industry leading Global Intelligence Network to deliver an unparalleled view of the entire Internet threat landscape. This intelligence results in actionable protection and peace of mind against evolving attacks.
• Single agent, single console - Integrates a full range of security technologies into a single agent and a centralized management console, with an intuitive user interface and Web-based graphical reporting. Enables you to set and enforce security policies across the enterprise to protect your critical assets. 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 licence.
• Easy to deploy - Because it requires only a single agent and management console and operates with an organisation's existing security and IT investments, Symantec Endpoint Protection is easy to implement and deploy. For organisations 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 overheads 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.
• 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 - Works with other leading antivirus vendors, firewalls, IPS technologies and network access control infrastructures. Also works with leading software deployment tools, patch management tools and security information management tools.
