Symantec unveils SEP 14 to secure endpoint technologies
Symantec has announced Symantec Endpoint Protection 14, the next evolution in endpoint innovation from the leader in endpoint security. Powered by artificial intelligence on the endpoint and in the cloud, Symantec Endpoint Protection 14 is the industry’s first solution to fuse essential endpoint technologies with advanced machine learning and memory exploit mitigation in a single agent, delivering a multilayered solution able to stop advanced threats and respond at the endpoint regardless of how the attack is launched.
Symantec Endpoint Protection delivers powerful protection in a lightweight package, building on industry-leading 99.9-percent efficacy, low false positives and a 70-per cent reduced footprint over the previous generation through new advanced cloud lookup capabilities. Powered by combined threat intelligence capabilities made possible by integrating Symantec and Blue Coat’s security telemetry, Symantec now protects 175 million consumer and enterprise endpoints, 163 million email users, 80 million web proxy users, and processes nearly eight billion security requests across these products every day.
"Symantec Endpoint Protection 14 is a major leap forward in endpoint protection, delivering the latest innovations in endpoint on a security platform and from a security company you can trust," said Tarun Kaura, Director, Solution Product Management, Asia-Pacific and Japan, Symantec. "Multilayered protection, enabled by artificial intelligence, backed by the world’s largest and most powerful threat intelligence force, and powered by the cloud - this is literally the smartest choice in endpoint technologies. Symantec Endpoint Protection 14 is an essential element of an integrated cyber defence strategy that enterprises require to combat today’s advanced threats."
The pace and sophistication of new threats facing organizations is daunting. In 2015, Symantec reported more than 430 million new pieces of malware and expects that figure will grow this year.
"As a healthcare institution, we are dealing with sensitive patient records and strict regulatory standards, so using innovative technology protections is critical to our business," said Sharon Finney, Corporate Data Security Officer at Adventist Health System. "However, as a large institution with tens of thousands of users, we do not take unnecessary risks by immediately deploying every new technology or point product, and count on vendors like Symantec to integrate those innovations with proven products and a solutions approach like they have done with Symantec Endpoint Protection 14."
Symantec Endpoint Protection 14 is available globally now.
