Description
uses a layered approach to defense. The comprehensive approach protects the network before, during, and after an attack.
reduces your risk of exposure by providing tools to increase your security posture ahead of any attack.
uses the following holistic security approach to protect your environment across the entire attack chain, using the following stages: incursion, infection, infestation and exfiltration, and remediation and inoculation.
protects against attacks before they enter your system using the following technologies:
-
Intrusion Prevention/Firewall (Network Threat Protection)
: Analyzes all incoming traffic and outgoing traffic and offers browser protection to block such threats before they can be executed on the computer. The rules-based firewall and browser protection protect against web-based attacks. See:
-
Application Control
: Controls the file access and registry access and how processes are allowed to run. See:
-
Device Control
: Restricts the access to select hardware and control what types of devices can upload or download information. See:
-
Memory Exploit Mitigation
: Neutralizes zero-day exploits like Heap Spray, SEHOP overwrite, and Java exploits in popular software that the vendor has not patched. See:
-
Web and Cloud Access Protection
: Controls network traffic over all ports and protocols, regardless of where enterprise users are. See:
uses the following technologies to detect and prevent these attacks before they infect your system:
-
Memory Exploit Mitigation
: Detects malware.
-
File reputation analysis (Insight)
: Based on the artificial intelligence that uses Symantec’s global intelligence network. This advanced analysis examines billions of correlated linkages from users, websites, and files to identify and defend against rapidly-mutating malware. By analyzing key attributes (such as the origin point of a file download) , Symantec can accurately identify whether a file is good or bad and assign a reputation score all before the file arrives on the client computer. See:
-
Advanced machine learning
: Analyzes the trillions of examples of the good files and bad files that are contained in a global intelligence network. Advanced machine learning is a signatureless technology that can block new malware variants at the pre-execution. See:
-
High-speed emulation
: Detects hidden malware using polymorphic custom packers. A scanner runs each file in milliseconds in a lightweight virtual machine that causes threats to reveal themselves, improving both the detection rates and performance. See:
-
Antivirus file protection (Virus and Spyware Protection)
: Uses signature-based antivirus and file heuristics to look for and eradicate malware on a system to protect against viruses, worms, Trojans, spyware, bots, adware, and rootkits. See:
-
-
Behavioral analysis (SONAR)
: Leverages machine learning to provide zero-day protection, stopping new and unknown threats by monitoring nearly 1,400 file behaviors while they execute in real time to determine file risk. See:
-
Intrusion Prevention/Firewall
: Block threats as they travel through the network.
-
Behavioral analysis
: Helps stop the spread of infection.
includes a single console and agent that offers protection across operating systems, platforms, and businesses of any size.
-
Power Eraser
: An aggressive tool, which can be triggered remotely, to address advanced persistent threats and remedy tenacious malware. See:
What you should know before you run Power Eraser from the
Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager -
Host Integrity
: Ensures that endpoints are protected and compliant by enforcing policies, detecting unauthorized changes, and conducting damage assessments. Host Integrity then isolates a managed system that does not meet your requirements. See:
-
System Lockdown
: Allows applications (that are known to be good) to run, or blocks the applications (known to be bad) from running. In either mode, System Lockdown uses checksum and file location parameters to verify whether an application is approved or unapproved. System Lockdown is useful for kiosks where you want to run a single application only. See:
-
Secure Web Gateway Integration
: Uses programmable REST APIs to make integration possible with Secure Web Gateway, to help quickly stop the spread of infection at the client computer.
-
EDR Console Integration
.
Symantec Endpoint Protectionis integrated with
Symantec EDRand is designed to detect, respond, and block targeted attacks and advanced persistent threats faster by prioritizing attacks. EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) capability is built into
Symantec Endpoint Protection, which makes it unnecessary to deploy additional agents. See:
