Symantec Enterprise Solution provides multiple layers of protection to help you accurately identify and address risks, while delivering strong
data protection for endpoints, including mobile and mail/web infrastructure.
Protect Endpoints—First Layer of Defense
Starting at the endpoint, Symantec Enterprise Solution protects against malware and data loss with endpoint security, drive encryption, and
system recovery. For mobile endpoints, Symantec App Center Basic provides an easy-to-use mobile device, application, and content
management solution to secure all corporate data on mobile devices. Finally our endpoint management solution provides vulnerability
assessment and simplifies patching of hundreds of endpoint applications.
Protect Mail Systems—Second Layer of Defense
The next layer of protection is at the mail servers, where most confidential data typically resides, whether it’s documents, plans, contracts, or
financial and customer data. With Symantec Mail Security, you can secure this information hub by stopping “reply all” storms, blocking spam,
and preventing the spread of malware threats throughout your network.
Protect Gateways—Third Layer of Defense
At the network perimeter or gateway layer, the Symantec Enterprise Solution features products to provide data loss prevention and content
filtering technologies for mail and web traffic. These products also help meet policy and regulatory compliance by automatically regulating
the flow of sensitive information.
Supporting Symantec Enterprise Solution’s layers of protection is the Symantec Global Intelligence Network, one of the world's largest
security research infrastructures, providing security intelligence to Symantec products and making it easy for you to automatically protect
your environment and adapt to risks within minutes.
