Endpoint Protection Cloud
Protecting users and their devices is critical for organizations of all sizes. For businesses with limited IT staff, endpoint protection and control over all your users’ devices (desktops, laptops, tablets & smartphones) can be daunting. The need to address advanced threats with limited resources requires a solution that simplifies endpoint protection and device management.
Advanced Endpoint Security
Made Easy
Symantec Endpoint Protection Cloud (SEP Cloud) is an endpoint security service offering easy to use advanced threat protection for PC, Mac, and mobile clients and servers, plus mobile device management for endpoint compliance and data protection.
SEP Cloud is based on the same advanced multi-layered scanning technologies powering Symantec Endpoint Protection for its enterprise customers to thwart advanced threats such as zero-day attacks and ransomware. Using a single console, this cloud-based service provides quick setup and policy configuration with just a few simple steps. Combining multi- layered protection with intuitive cloud-based management makes Symantec Endpoint Protection Cloud the ideal solution for organizations that lack IT security resources and expertise.
Intelligent Protection for
Emerging Threats
A powerful combination of detection technologies stop advanced threats and rapidly-mutating malware regardless of how they attack your endpoint – all in a high-performance, lightweight agent.
•
Advanced machine learning blocks new and emerging threats using trillions of samples of good and bad files in the Symantec Global Intelligence Network to power machine-learning results.
•
Behavior monitoring determines file risk by monitoring nearly 1,400 file behaviors while they execute in real time to block malicious files.
• Memory exploit mitigation neutralizes zero-day exploits in popular software that has not been patched by the vendor using signatureless technology that works regardless of flaw, bug, or vulnerability.
•
High-speed emulation technology detects malware hidden by polymorphic custom packers. A static data scanner runs each file in milliseconds, in a lightweight virtual machine, to force threats to reveal themselves, improving both detection rates and performance.

• Network firewall and intrusion prevention technology analyzes incoming and outgoing traffic and blocks threats while they travel through the network before reaching endpoints. Rules-based firewall and browser protection defend against web-based attacks. With strong network protection, you can detect most threats before they reach endpoints.
• File reputation analysis identifies whether a file is good or bad and assigns a reputation score by inspecting key attributes such file download frequency, download date, and download location—all before the file arrives at the endpoint.
•
Antivirus protection uses signatures and advanced file heuristics to analyze and eradicate malware on endpoints including viruses, worms, Trojans, spyware, bots, adware, and rootkits. Cloud-based file lookups during file scans provide the latest information and protect against outbreaks and new and emerging malware.
Mobile Security and Device
Management
Mobile threat protection is built into SEP Cloud for iOS and
Android devices to provide safeguards including blocking malware and protecting users from fraud. Integrated mobile device management provides visibility and control over network access and device data.
• Safe mobile browsing detects and blocks phishing websites.
•
High-risk app detection proactively warns users about suspicious apps or apps that could impact device performance before downloading from the app store.
• Password protection prevents unauthorized access to devices by enforcing password requirements, and device controls such as the camera control can limit access or disable use.
•
Device lock & wipe device capability protects company data on mobile devices in the event a device is lost or stolen by remotely locking access to or wiping data from a mobile device.
•
Create Email and Wi-Fi policies to control access to company networks based on device ownership (company or personal) and device security status.
