The Essential Elements of Comprehensive Endpoint Security

ESG Whitepaper: The Growing Need for Endpoint Risk and Operations Management (EROM)

Today's disconnected endpoint security and operations management are no match for the rapidly changing endpoint devices and sophisticated threat environment. In this white paper, Jon Oltsik of the Enterprise Strategy Group explores a new, integrated approach to security called, Endpoint Risk and Operations Management (EROM). By bringing security, operations, and desktop support together, organizations will be able to improve security, automate policies, reduce complexity, and simplify endpoint operations.

Symantec Whitepaper: Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0 - A unified, proactive approach to endpoint security

Organizations today face a threat landscape that involves stealthy, targeted, and financially motivated attacks that exploit vulnerabilities in endpoint devices. Many of these sophisticated threats can evade traditional security solutions, leaving organizations vulnerable to data theft and manipulation, disruption of business-critical services, and damage to corporate brand and reputation. Symantec Endpoint Protection delivers an unmatched, comprehensive, and integrated endpoint security solution that serves as a foundation for secure endpoint computing. It combines essential best-in-breed security technologies to deliver advanced threat prevention from known and unknown threats. It increases protection and reduces the administrative overhead and costs associated with managing multiple endpoint security products by providing a single agent that is administered via a single management console
