Symantec has announced a significant step in its Security 2.0 vision with the introduction of Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0 and Symantec Network Access Control 11.0 (codenamed Project Hamlet), which integrates multiple security technologies into a single agent, managed by a single console to strengthen and simplify security for businesses of all sizes.
Symantec Endpoint Protection is the most significant update to Symantec's enterprise antivirus product and combines Symantec AntiVirus with advanced threat prevention in a single agent delivering unmatched defense against malware for laptops, desktops and servers.
In order to protect customers from both today s threats and tomorrow s emerging threats, Symantec Endpoint Protection includes proactive technologies that automatically analyze application behaviors and network communications to detect and actively block attacks.
Customers are provided integrated antivirus, antispyware, firewall, host- and network-based intrusion prevention solutions (IPS), and application and device control into a single solution that is easy to install and easy to manage.
Symantec Endpoint Protection reduces administrative costs associated with managing multiple endpoint security products by bringing together technology from Symantec, Sygate, Whole Security and Veritas. This provides operational efficiencies and gives customers a best-of-breed, yet fully integrated solution that works across platforms and is supported by a single vendor.
It is also backed by Symantec's Global Intelligence Network with eight Symantec Security Response Centers, four Symantec Security Operations Centers, 120 million systems and more than 40,000 sensors deployed in 180 countries.
"Symantec Endpoint Protection makes it easier for businesses to adopt a more effective multi-layered security solution and extends the power of antivirus to address today's evolving threat landscape," said Tom Kendra, group president (Security and Data Management), Symantec, adding, "It resets the bar for endpoint security, reducing overhead, time and costs so that customers can efficiently manage security and gain confidence that corporate assets and business are protected."
Symantec Endpoint Protection is a product that offers the benefit of essential security technologies (antivirus, antispyware, desktop firewall, intrusion prevention and device control) via a single integrated agent and administered from a single management console. Symantec Endpoint Protection features the new simplified management console, Network Access Control (NAC) enablement out of the box, and a range of training and support offerings to speed implementation for partners and customers.
Symantec has also introduced a new version of its Symantec Network Access Control 11.0, which is an optional module tightly integrated with Symantec Endpoint Protection to help customers discover and evaluate the status of endpoints, provision the appropriate network access and provide remediation capabilities to ensure security policies and standards are met.
Both Symantec Endpoint Protection and the new version of Symantec Network Access Control are expected to be available worldwide in September.
