Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) provides three layers of protection: network threat protection, proactive threat protection, and antivirus/antispyware protection. It combines essential threat protection technologies into a single client. The management console allows administrators to manage SEP and Symantec Network Access Control from a single interface, monitor security threats, and control user access. Installing SEP involves installing the manager software first, then the client software, accepting license agreements, selecting client types, and allowing the installation to complete and check for updates.
