Endpoint Protection

Hi guys I just did the installation for SEP 12.1.6 MP5 today and updated it with the latest protection definations. However I noticed a strange thing that when I exported an installation package with all feature set and all content ( with full definations) the exported package size was only 286 MB, strange isn't ?

For earlier versions i.e RU6 MP5 and below I remember the package size used to be 600 MB+ with full content so have something changed in RU6 MP5 recently?  Attaching the screenshot

Thanks

here is it

It's normal to see this new size.

the definition size of Antivirus has been reduced hence the size of the package has also reduced.

Yes defintion sizes recently reduced to just over 200MB and client install is not very large noe. 

See link below and if you scroll to the bottom you will see the full JDB definition file is just over 200MB

The following TECH article describes the recent activity Symantec performed to reduce the definition size:

This is an expected behaviour. Refer this guide for the reference:  https://support.symantec.com/en_US/article.TECH230149.html
