KEY BENEFITS
Unrivaled Security
Symantec Endpoint Protection goes beyond antivirus to deliver
layered protection at the endpoint. Leveraging the power of our
Global Intelligence Network, Insight and SONAR technologies analyze
the reputation and characteristics of suspicious files to determine
if they pose a danger to your systems. Network Threat Protection
analyzes incoming data streams and proactively blocks threats.
Combined with traditional antivirus, firewall and IPS, these
technologies deliver full protection across both physical and
virtual systems.
Blazing Performance
In today's global business environment, every second counts.
Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1.4 has replaced traditional
scanning of every file with scan elimination and de-duplication
through Virtual Image Exception and Shared Insight Cache, and
access to the largest Global Intelligence Network to reduce scan
times and provide the fastest performance available. Quite simply,
files known to be good can be skipped, causing Endpoint Protection
to scan faster and smarter.
Smarter Management
With a single high-powered agent and a single management console,
Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1.5 provides layered protection
across Windows, Mac, Linux and Virtual machines. Customers can take
advantage of even more simplified management thorough enhanced
remote deployment and granular policy settings that enable system
lockdown, application and device control, and host integrity.
