Complexity with physical and virtual machine proliferation increases the challenges involved in managing servers. Server administrators perform many repetitive manual IT tasks. Manual tasks lead to inconsistencies. Inconsistencies lead to downtime. Most downtime is caused by unauthorized changes or human error. Ensuring that corporate guidelines are met and servers are running properly can be daunting tasks for IT professionals. Altiris™ Server Management Suite from Symantec helps to reduce the cost and complexity of managing servers.

Symantec™ Endpoint Protection combines Symantec AntiVirus™ with advanced threat prevention to deliver an unmatched defense against malware for laptops, desktops, and servers. It provides protection against even the most sophisticated attacks that evade traditional security measures, such as rootkits, zero-day attacks, and mutating spyware.

SECURE: Comprehensive protection
Symantec Endpoint Protection integrates best-of-breed technologies to stop security threats—even from the most devious new and unknown attackers—before they penetrate the network. It detects and blocks malicious software in real time, including viruses, worms, Trojan horses, spyware, adware, and rootkits.

SIMPLE: Single agent, single console
A full range of security technologies are integrated into a single agent and a centralized management console, with an intuitive user interface and Web-based graphical reporting. You are able to set and enforce security policies across the enterprise to protect your critical assets. Symantec Endpoint Protection simplifies management, reduces system resource usage, and requires no additional agents when adding Symantec Network Access Control support. Symantec Network Access Control features are automatically enabled on the agent and management console with the purchase of a license.

SEAMLESS: Easy to install, configure, and manage
Symantec Endpoint Protection makes it easy to enable/disable and configure desired technologies to fit into your environment. Each endpoint becomes “Symantec Network Access Control ready,” eliminating the need to deploy additional network access control endpoint agent software. It also integrates with the Altiris Endpoint Manage solutions. This completely manages distributing software packages, migrating older Symantec AntiVirus™ or other antivirus deployments, and viewing new agent rollout status, making all activity easier.
