Symantec endpoint protection latest version

Set of policies that you can use to isolate applications so that they operate in a protected environment. WSS Traffic Redirection: Symantec Endpoint Protection provides web security to remote users by connecting the client to Web Security Services (WSS) when a route through a corporate network is not possible or practical. WSS Traffic Redirection (WTR) directs traffic from the endpoint to WSS/CASB Services, eliminating the need to install a separate client. You deploy them once and manage them centrally, which lowers the cost of management and eliminates conflict between the agents. This functionality allows Symantec Endpoint Protection to rapidly enable connectivity to cloud services with minimal interruption to users. Ability to test new engine content and definitions before they are released: Symantec Endpoint Protection contains several content engines that carry out parts of its functionality. Symantec provides a special server that lets you download and test the engine content before you roll out the content to your production environment. Engine updates are released to the EAS for 2 weeks before its phased release on the public LiveUpdate server. Symantec provides the engine updates using your regular LiveUpdate configuration. You can find the option Use a Symantec LiveUpdate early release server in the LiveUpdate Settings policy. Option to lock engine version: The LiveUpdate Content policy now has the option to revert to an older version of the engine but continue to receive the latest content that corresponds with that engine. In the LiveUpdate Content policy under Windows Settings, click Security Definitions > Select an engine version > Edit. Clients that are locked to a specific engine version only receive LiveUpdate content that corresponds to that engine version.Management server featuresOn the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager Home page banner, the Latest News link changed to Latest Alerts.

Otherwise, uninstall the Symantec Endpoint Protection client and cleanly reinstall the compatible version after upgrade to avoid possible corruption to logs and other Symantec Endpoint Protection components.

The functionality for Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager and the clients does not change, and the user interface for both components is still labeled as 14.0.1. You do not need to upgrade to a new 14.1 management server or new 14.1 clients. The 14.1 cloud portal lets you manage Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager clients and includes some additional functionality that Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager does not have. If you do not enroll in the cloud portal, you continue to manage your client computers entirely from Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager. To connect to the cloud portal, you enroll a 14.0.1 Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager domain in the 14.1 cloud portal.
