Editor's Notes
- #4 Symantec Endpoint Protection protects against malware such as viruses, worms, Trojan horses, spyware, and adware. It provides protection against even the most sophisticated attacks that evade traditional security measures, such as rootkits, zero-day attacks, and spyware that mutates. Providing low maintenance and high power, Symantec Endpoint Protection communicates over your network to automatically safeguard for both physical systems and virtual systems against attacks.
- #6 Virus and spyware scans detect viruses and the security risks that can put a computer, as well as a network, at risk. Security risks include spyware, adware, and other malicious files.
- #7 Virus and Spyware Protection detects new threats earlier and more accurately using not just signature-based and behavioral-based solutions, but other technologies as well. Symantec Insight provides faster and more accurate malware detection to find the new and the unknown threats that other approaches miss. Insight identifies new and zero-day threats by using the collective wisdom of millions of systems in hundreds of countries.Bloodhound uses heuristics to detect known and unknown threats.Auto-Protect scans files from a signature list as they are read from or written to the client computer.
- #8 The firewall allows or blocks network traffic based on the various criteria that the administrator sets. If the administrator permits it, end users can also configure firewall policies. The Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) analyzes all the incoming and the outgoing information for the data patterns that are typical of an attack. It detects and blocks malicious traffic and attempts by outside users to attack the client computer. Intrusion prevention also monitors outbound traffic and prevents the spread of worms.
- #9 The rules-based firewall engine blocks malicious threats before they can harm the computer. The IPS scans network traffic and files for indications of intrusions or attempted intrusions.Browser Intrusion Prevention scans for the attacks that are directed at browser vulnerabilities.Universal download protection monitors all downloads from browsers and validates that the downloads are not malware.
- #10 Threats that exploit these vulnerabilities can evade signature-based detection, such as spyware definitions. Zero-day attacks may be used in targeted attacks and in the propagation of malicious code. SONAR provides real-time behavioral protection by monitoring processes and threats as they execute. Application and Device Control monitors and controls the behavior of applications on client computers and manages the hardware devices that access client computers.
