    Hi Team,

    Can any one let me know the practical purpose of Endpoint Discover module. How can I use it in my organization (BFSI sector).

    Regards,

    Vinodh Stanley

    use the module which is agent-based scans of endpoints including laptops,desktops, and workstations at remote offices to expose confidential data.

    Thanks Pete. Just one more help. Could you refer me to a Symantec doc that talks about how to configure a policy for scanning using discover module.

    DLP admin guide is the one that should be read.

    Just want to jump in here... If you set a policy up it will apply to all areas the policy group is applied to.  So if you setup a policy and apply it to the Default Policy Group, all servers (Endpoint, Discover, Network Monitor, etc) that have that policy  group would get the policy.

    Does that make sense?

     

    If I wanted to limit a policy to just an endpoint, then i would have to create a policy group (Endpoint Policy Group) and then apply that group just to my Endpoint server.

     

    Drop me a note if that doesn't make sense
