Key Features of Symantec Endpoint Protection 14.3
1. Real-Time Threat Protection
Symantec Endpoint Protection is already prepared for every emerging threat and takes action on it in real-time. The AI-driven detection means that your system is constantly scanned for suspicious behaviour. It isn’t waiting for the next scheduled scan – it’s ready 24/7 for any viruses, malware, ransomware and other threats that could harm your system. Real-time protection means that any malicious activity that shows even the slightest sign of being a virus or a malware attack will be blocked before it can even hurt your computer.
2. Advanced Machine Learning
Threats are evolving, too. Symantec’s software has machine learning capabilities that can detect and analyse threats long before antivirus databases are updated. It looks for new, unknown threats based on their behaviour, and then acts upon them. This process allows the system to improve its own detection abilities over time, creating a constantly changing barrier against new threats.
3. Multi-Layered Protection
This multi-layered line of defence engages in signature-based detection, machine learning, behavior analysis and reputation-based filtering – each of which is on the lookout for various types of threats. It’s like having your own security guard squad, each member of which specializes in detecting a different type of threat.
4. Antivirus and Anti-Malware
Symantec Endpoint Protection delivers the engine for the antivirus and anti-malware functions. It scans for viruses, trojans, spyware, rootkits and other malware that can cause problems for your system. The detection engine is very effective in identifying threats, removing them, and doing all this without slowing down your computer at all. It is able to provide a high level of protection while running unobtrusively in the background of your computer and not impacting your system.
5. Proactive Exploit Prevention
Many attacks exploit weaknesses in otherwise legitimate software – sometimes even before those weaknesses are fixed. To block such attacks before Windows has a chance to act upon them, Symantec Endpoint Protection offers Proactive Exploit Prevention (PEP). This is a prime example of proactive prevention, the goal of which is to keep your computer safe from cunning attackers who might use a zero-day vulnerability to breach your PC, even before the vendor has had a chance to identify and fix the problem.
6. Ransomware Protection
Ransomware is one of the top security threats today. Thankfully, Symantec has your back. Ransomware protection included in Endpoint Protection keeps tabs on suspicious activity, including unauthorised encryption of your files and, if ransomware manages to gain a foothold, Symantec immediately intervenes by halting the attack of the ransomware, so your priceless data remains accessible and available to you. It’s like having a ransomware-expert bodyguard that prevents a cyber attack in its tracks.
7. Intrusion Prevention System (IPS)
Symantec Endpoint Protection has an Intrusion Prevention System within it, which filters all incoming and outgoing network traffic to look for malicious activity and attempts at unauthorized access. In other words, it acts as an additional security blanket for your internet connection, one that protects your system from anyone trying to get in via network-based attacks.
8. Intelligent Threat Analysis
Symantec Endpoint Protection takes threat analysis a step further by analysing threat data from millions of endpoints around the world. Symantec can actually predict attacks before they happen, and prevent them. It learns from actual events to keep your system safe. It’s crowdsourcing for security.
9. Behavioral Monitoring
If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. A piece of software that was benign when you first installed it might later start acting weird. A behaviour-monitoring detection engine, such as Symantec Endpoint Protection, keeps an eye on what’s going on. If a program starts doing something unusual – such as accessing protected files or communicating with some mysterious server – Symantec will intervene. This kind of modelling makes sure that you don’t miss a threat, even if it didn’t raise red flags at the time.
10. Device Control
USB drives and other devices can be an infection vector, but Symantec Endpoint Protection’s device control lets you select what devices can connect to your system. You can block unauthorised USB drives, or restrict other devices so that nothing can get on your system via an external device. This level of control is important if you share devices or systems or otherwise use a system in more than one environment.
11. Lightweight Design and Efficient Performance
You do not want to install antivirus software that slows down your system performance. Symantec Endpoint Protection 14.3 is designed to be lightweight and efficient, so you can surf, shop and do everything else you want to do without your computer slowing down because of the security processes that are running in the background. Adaptive scanning, which targets resources where they are needed, keeps your computer running fast and protects you against threats.
12. Centralized Management Console
You can manage your entire network from a single control panel with the Centralized Management Console that comes with Symantec Endpoint Protection. You can see the status of all of your endpoints, launch scans, and even respond to threats from a single pane of glass. If you’re running a small business or responsible for several systems, this is the security package that you need.
13. Application Control
Not every application has to run free. Application Control lets you choose which applications are allowed to run on your system. That way, unwanted or potentially harmful applications don’t sneak in, potentially causing damage. You can create rules that specify which applications to block or allow.
14. Symantec Insight
An element of Symantec Endpoint Protection that stood out for me was Symantec Insight, which uses big data and machine learning to identify files by their behaviour and reputation. It compares billions of files from systems around the world to determine whether a file is known as safe or malicious, which helps Symantec Endpoint Protection identify and block malware at record speeds, often before it has even been seen before.
15. Lifetime Activation with Free Updates
