Features

   -   Back to top

Multi-layered Protection

• Seamlessly integrates industry leading protection technologies (antivirus, antispyware, desktop firewall, IPS and device control) in a single agent
• Delivers both traditional signature-based protection and proactive protection with the ability to enable the pieces you need, as and when you need them.

Raw Disk Scan

• Provides superior rootkit detection and removal by integrating VxMS (Veritas Mapping Service, a Veritas technology). This provides access below the operating system to allow thorough analysis and repair.

Generic Exploit Blocking

• Generic Exploit Blocking prevents entry of new threats at the network layer using a unique vulnerability-based Intrusion Prevention Solution.

Deep Packet Inspection

• Provides administrators with the ability to create custom intrusion prevention signatures.

Proactive Threat Scan

• Behavioural-based protection (a WholeSecurity technology); unlike all other heuristic-based technologies its Proactive Threat Scan scores both good and bad behaviours of unknown applications.

Application Control

• Allows administrators to control access to specific processes, files and folders by users/applications
• Provides application analysis, process control, file and registry access control, module and DLL control.

Device Control

• Controls which peripherals can be connected to a machine and how they are used plus locks down an endpoint by preventing thumb drives, CD burners, printers and other USB devices from connecting.

Single Agent

• Delivers a single management agent for all Symantec Endpoint Protection technologies and the Symantec Network Access Control product
• Provides operation efficiencies such as single software and single policy updates
