Endpoint Protection

All,

We use the Symantec Endpoint Protection version 11.  Since we use the ftp download to obtain the virus definition, , I wonder how often the new virus definition will be availble for download.

Thanks,

Vincent

symantec release 3 definition daily.

Thanks, Pete!

Hello,

For a Formal Understanding on size of files, you could check the FTP site itself:

ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/antivirus_definitions/norton_antivirus/

Hope that helps!!

Hi Vincent,

I gather that you are downloading the .jdb via FTP and dropping it on your SEPM or clients.  That method works great for the AntiVirus definitions, but doesn't supply you with firewall, PTP etc materials.  Using AV alone is fighting today's threats with one arm tied behind your back - I really recommend that you add NTP and IDS technologies to better secure those endpoints.

If you are using FTP as that is the only method available due to network restrictions, ther is one goo dsolution: have you considered setting up an internal LIveUpdate Administrator 2.x server?  That can download via FTP new updates for all the different components, and then make them availabole for all the SEP clients to use.

Hope this helps!  Please do update this thread if you'd like more info,

Best regards,

Mick

Symantec releases 3 per day..

Hi Vincent Peter,

Symantec typically releases 1 to 3 sets of Virus and Spyware definitions in a day and these are auto downloaded on SEPM, You can shedule the download frequency in SEPM as per your requirement and network bandwidth....by default its 4 hour....

Please explain your query if not satisfied by ans...
