Endpoint protection
Symantec Endpoint Protection takes a holistic and effective approach to protecting your infrastructure's endpoints – notebooks, desktops and servers. It combines essential security technologies to proactively deliver the highest level of protection against known and unknown threats, including viruses, worms, Trojan horses, bots, spyware, and firewall intrusions with advanced proactive protection technologies in a single deployable agent that can be administered from a central console.

The highest level of comprehensive security
Symantec Endpoint Protection seamlessly combines best-in-breed protection mechanisms into a single agent to deliver the highest level of endpoint security:
  • Antivirus/Antispyware
  • Network threat protection
  • Proactive threat protection
In addition, Symantec Endpoint Protection is network access control ready. The agent can be enabled to provide network access control capabilities that allow organizations to ensure endpoints comply with corporate security policies before gaining access to the network.

Network access control
Symantec Network Access Control grants access only to endpoints that comply with your defined security policies by evaluating compliance status, providing automatic remediation, and ensuring access is properly provisioned and secured.

Organizations that deploy Symantec Network Access Control Starter Edition experience multiple measurable benefits, including:
  • Lowered risk profile
  • Verification that endpoint security investments are properly enabled
  • Greater network availability
  • Verifiable organizational compliance information through near real-time data
  • Reduced propagation of malicious code
Advanced threat protection
Proactive technologies automatically analyze application behaviors and network communications to detect and block suspicious activities, as well as administrative control features that allow you to deny specific device and application activities deemed as high risk for your organization. You can even block specific actions based on the location of the user.

Easy to manage
The consolidation of essential endpoint security technologies into a single agent makes Symantec Endpoint Protection easy to install, maintain and update, saving your organization time and money while protecting your assets and business. Its automated security updates provide hassle-free protection from the latest threats. And it gives administrators comprehensive endpoint visibility with its unified management console.

Lower cost of ownership
By offering the benefit of essential endpoint security technologies in one, Symantec Endpoint Protection lowers total cost of ownership, enabling you to reduce the costs associated with managing multiple endpoint security products.
  • Reduces administrative overhead – reduces resources associated with managing multiple point solutions
  • Reduces costs – reduces the effort associated with managing endpoint security, user and network downtime, and remediation efforts
  • Leverages existing investments – works with leading software deployment tools, patch management tools, SIM tools, databases and operating systems



Complete system recovery
Innovative technologies in Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery 8.5 Server Edition enables you to recover complete Windows systems in minutes, not hours or days, making Backup Exec System Recovery the gold standard in complete Windows system recovery.

Rapid and reliable recovery
Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery 8.5 Server Edition eliminates backup windows by capturing an entire live Windows system, without disrupting user productivity or application usage.

Rapid recovery of entire systems to dissimilar hardware breaks the barrier of incompatible storage controllers and hardware abstraction layers, thereby reducing recovery times and saving significant hardware investments. Backup Exec System Recovery combines hot-imaging with the ability to restore to different hardware platforms on the fly.

Off-site backup copy for disaster recovery
For off-site backup copy, Backup Exec System Recovery will automatically copy recovery points (backups) to a remote server using FTP or to an external hard drive or network share to enhance your disaster recovery efforts.

Physical and virtual system support
Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery supports the latest virtual environments including VMware ESX, Microsoft Hyper-V and Citrix XenServer.

IT Administrators can now set a schedule for having their physical recovery points (backups) converted to virtual systems through an easy to use, wizard driven interface. Convert entire systems at once or select volumes at a time.


Intelligent archiving
Capture, classify and store e-mail, instant messages and files to enforce retention policies, simplify discovery and reduce storage costs and management overhead with a comprehensive platform for enterprise-class archiving.

Information discovery and retention
Studies suggest that e-mail and other messaging applications store as much as 75% of a company's intellectual property. Symantec Enterprise Vault™ provides an intelligent archiving platform that stores, manages and enables the discovery of corporate data from e-mail systems, file server environments, instant messaging (IM) platforms, and collaboration and content management systems. And because not all data is created equal, Enterprise Vault utilizes intelligent classification and retention technologies to capture, categorize, index and store target data to enforce policies and protect corporate assets, while helping to reduce storage costs and simplify management.

Optimize storage space
Enterprise Vault's backup and recovery technologies with archiving enhances traditional backup and recovery by reducing the data stores of applications such as Exchange, SharePoint, or file servers. Smaller data stores shrink backup and recovery times and help save money on storage and storage management.

Rapid recovery
Enterprise Vault facilitates fast, controlled restores in the event of a disaster, helping your company accomplish your main objective of making Exchange and production data operational in the shortest time possible.
