Summary
It takes more than antivirus to protect a computer and your network. Symantec's
Endpoint Protection solutions address the top concerns with securing the
endpoints that connect to your network.
Corey will discuss the technologies and innovations that Symantec has been
developing since its last version of Enterprise Antivirus and how to integrate
it with your Network Access Control initiatives.
We will highlight the technologies used for enforcing Host Integrity of
computers that are connecting through wireless access points, LAN connections,
and VPN connections. We will also address non-managed computers and the
challenges with proving Host Integrity and granting access to the network.
