The Symantec endpoint security portfolio receives further enhancements with offerings incorporating advanced protection and hardening to deliver coordinated, adaptive endpoint defense able to reduce attack surface.
The result, the company claims, also delivers such technologies through a single agent customers can manage through an integrated cloud console, lowering deployment and management complexity. The portfolio updates include Endpoint Application Control, a means to defend against advanced attacks by only allowing known applications to run. The whitelisting solution includes smart, auto-generation of application-specific rules, comprehensive application discovery, in-depth risk assessment and continuous tracking of application drift, making it easy to deploy and manage in dynamic endpoint environments.
Meanwhile Endpoint Application Isolation allows users to download and use any application safely by ensuring every application is restricted to safe and authorised behaviour. Enhanced visibility and intelligence allows the isolation of suspicious applications to prevent privileged operations to harm the endpoint. Application isolation also shields known good applications from tampering to stop attackers from exploiting potential vulnerabilities.
Endpoint Cloud Connect Defense delivers dynamic protection by assuring network integrity through a policy-based smart VPN to defend against risky wifi and carrier networks. The technology provides an additional layer of protection for Windows 10 devices. Finally Endpoint Threat Defense for Active Directory ensures malicious actors on domain-connected endpoints cannot exploit Active Directory to access critical assets through a combination of AI, obfuscation and advanced forensic methodologies.
The above mentioned Symantec products are available now as either add-ons to Symantec Endpoint Protection or part of new suites designed for easy consumption.
