"The Importance of Endpoint Protection - Featuring SEP 14" brought to you by Aventis Systems.
Security remains at the top of the list for IT concerns. Superior protection is of the utmost importance due to increasing advanced persistent threats (APT) and zero day threats
Advanced persistent threats refer to a hacker, or group of hackers, with substantial means that can hack into a system and stay undetected as they try to steal data
A zero day threat refers to a gap in software unknown to the vendor that hackers can take advantage of before the vendor is able to create a patch.
Today we’re taking a look at Symantec’s Endpoint Protection solution, which we’ll refer to as SEP 14 from now on. We’re showcasing its superior protection, high performance, and automation capabilities that relieve IT department resources.

Before we dive into the features of SEP, Kevin, would you briefly touch on the importance of protecting endpoints?
Sure, Amber.
When we say “endpoint protection,” we’re referring to devices on a network that can connect to the internet such as desktops, laptops, mobile devices, printers, etc.
Protecting endpoints is crucial because they provide multiple access points for malware and hackers.
Noncompliance and human error make endpoints easily accessible if unprotected.
Thanks, Kevin!
Of course, Amber.
First, I want to start off by showcasing 2 next-gen technologies of Endpoint Protection 14 that will interest IT pros with their superior protection against unknown and zero-day threats.
First up, the advanced machine learning protects against new, unknown, and evolving threats utilizing Symantec’s largest civilian global threat intelligence network.
The second cool technology is memory exploit mitigation which protects popular applications and operating systems from zero-day attacks in real-time.
Moderator Interjection
Very cool indeed. What other features should IT pros be aware of?
Well, Amber, when it comes to performance a very notable feature of Symantec Endpoint Protection 14 is its single lightweight agent.
It allows for a reduced number of managed agents on endpoints which in turn leads to increased performance and lower total cost of ownership (TCO).
Another performance feature is the Intelligent Threat Cloud which uses real-time cloud lookup for faster scan times.
Advanced cloud lookup techniques like batched queries, pipelining, and trust propagation keep SEP from having to download all signature definitions to the endpoint.
The significantly reduced file size of virus definitions decrease bandwidth usage and boost performance.
Moderator Interjection
Staying protected without sacrificing performance is certainly important. What else are you sharing with us today?
Last but not least, IT pros should note the integration and automation capabilities of this solution.
The new programmable REST APIs allow for easy integrations with your existing security infrastructure.
This makes orchestrated responses such as quarantining infected endpoints, whitelisting known safe applications, and blacklisting known unsafe applications to block threats possible.
Also, the integration capabilities and single management console allow IT departments to setup enhanced automation of processes to save time and resources.
