Endpoint Protection

Hi,

my company decided to use symantec endpoint protection [Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP)12.1.2 Linux client (Corporate Edition)] as their virus scanning solution on our linux servers. To integrate this to my application, I need to use a command line interface, e.g. like:

• store a file in some folder
• start endpoint protection to scan the file (or all files in that folder) for viruses
• get the result (an error code and/or more details from analyzing a log file, ...)
• do some action in the calling application (send an email, ...)

 

my questions therefore:

• does "SEP 12.1.2 Linux Client" have a command line interface (to scan a specific file or folder on demand)?
• where do I find documentation?
• if no CLI: is there an alternative to scan a specific file and get the results? (infected / ok / ...)

Thanks and best regards,

Matthias

Hi,

I will suggest to wait for few more weeks.

SEP 12.1 RU5 is due for release. In this release you may see SEP for linux (Instead of SAV) & Now linux clients may get managed by SEPM which was not possible previously.

Thanks everybody. Actually the reference to Symantec AntiVirus for Linux Implementation Guide gave me the solution. Searching the internet for this guide finally led to http://kbdownload.symantec.com/resources/sites/BUSINESS/content/live/DOCUMENTATION/6000/DOC6150/en_US/SAV_Linux_Impl.pdf?__gda__=1409729861_8c2ce04325acf69faf1de55544ec5b89 there are some information regarding "sav" command line tool - which seems to do the job.
