Symantec Introduces New Symantec Endpoint Protection

Security firm‎ Symantec has introduced a new version of Symantec Endpoint Protection to swiftly ‎identify and block new threats with greater accuracy than their earlier versions.‎

The latest version of Endpoint Protection is capable of blocking threats that went un-‎noticed by using customary, standard and HIPS-based security solutions. ‎Symantec Endpoint Protection 12 solution is based on Insight, a powerful cloud-based ‎technology application.

Insight has already carefully analyzed several anonymous ‎software adoption patterns from more than 175 million user computers to automatically ‎develop security ratings of many unique software files exceeding 2.5 million.‎

The size, scope and sophistication of cyber crime is increasing day by day and all ‎companies, irrespective of their size, are being targeted. The Award winning Symantec ‎Endpoint Protection 12 based on Insight technology protects all customers —from sme’s ‎to large enterprises in the quickest time.‎ The overheads resulting from virus scanning can be reduced by 70 percent by using ‎Insight to identify and whitelist files, resulting in lesser scans. The speeds achieved are ‎found to be twice faster than the normal security solution. The solution also peruses 57 ‎percent less memory than the normal security solution.‎

Symantec had earlier worked with VMware to leverage their CMware vShield ‎technology. ‎
