Symantec Protection Suite Enterprise Edition is an unparalleled combination of award-winning technologies from the world leader in security and data protection that enables you to completely protect, easily manage, and automatically control the assets most crucial to your business.

Endpoint Security

More than antivirus

Symantec Protection Suite delivers more than world-class, industry-leading antivirus and antispyware signature-based protection. It provides advanced threat prevention that protects your endpoints - laptops, desktops, servers, and mobile devices - from targeted attacks and attacks not seen before. It includes turnkey, proactive technologies that automatically analyze application behaviors and network communications to detect and block suspicious activities, as well as administrative control features that allow organizations to deny specific device and application activities deemed as high risk. In addition, the new suite features built-in software-based network access control to ensure endpoints remain in compliance with IT policy regardless of where or how they connect to the network. This multilayered approach significantly lowers risks, giving confidence that business assets are protected. Protection

Suite’s endpoint security includes all these capabilities now, with the ability to enable individual components as needed.

Messaging and Web Security

Antispam, messaging, and web security protection

Symantec Protection Suite provides effective and accurate antispam and antivirus protection for both inbound and outbound email and instant messaging (IM). Protection

Suite’s messaging security components can be deployed both at the messaging server level on Microsoft® Exchange and Lotus Domino®, and at the gateway level with physical
