Features

Firewall

Endpoint incorporates a rules-based firewall, as well as an anti-malware technique that Symantec calls "generic exploit blocking". The firewall is based on technology developed by Sygate Technologies, who were purchased by Symantec. Generic exploit blocking is a technique that attempts to proactively blocks malware from exploiting unpatched vulnerabilities.

Proactive protection

Endpoint uses Symantec's TruScan technologies to attempt detection of unknown malware. It analyzes both "safe" and "negative" behaviors of unknown applications. It also integrates Symantec's Deepsight honeypot sensors to warn of emerging threats and provide threat advisories. Proactive Threat Protection feature is supported on server operating systems in version 12.1 and above.

Intrusion prevention

Endpoint is able to create and enforce rules on client computers. For example, it can prevent clients from writing files to a USB flash drive. Intrusion prevention also works as IDS. Policies are enforced by TruScan. The IPS functionality acts as a first line of defence against network based attacks.
