Endpoint Protection

There have not been new certified definitions in more than a day. Is there something wrong. We usually get three a day.

Thanks

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Symantec community.

I would be glad to answer your query. There is not any hard core rule for it.

File-based AV - Updated daily (with SEP's Multiple Daily Definitions, certified content is typically released three times a day Monday through Friday; one time per day on weekends).

Network-Based Protection (IPS)- SEP Security Updates (SU) are generally updated on Weekdays (M-F - no releases scheduled for weekend or major holidays in the United States).

Behavior-Based Protection / Proactive Threat Protection - There is no set schedule.  The article linked below contains additional information.

Reputation-Based Protection (Insight) - Continually updated as it is a cloud based detection.

How often are Endpoint Protection definitions for IPS, SONAR, and Download Protection released?

Symantec simply hasn't released them yet. Only thing you can do is be patient and wait.

Still no update yet, might take some more time

http://www.symantec.com/security_response/definitions.jsp

Symantec is currently experiencing technical difficulties which have impacted the ability to create and publish certified and rapid release virus definitions. 
The most current definitions available are 09/10/2014 rev.2

For more information of current definition update please check the link below

Will keep you posted on the updated status. Also you can check the above link for the current available definitions

Regards

 

I'd hope Symantec would be a bit more informative than 'Symantec is currently experiencing technical difficulties'. 

This is the second time in as many months where a snafu has impacted customers being able to obtain a definition.  A bug in the 08/03/2014 r34 definitions prevented the ability to download defintions until it was acknowledge / resolved on 8/5/2014. 

Once is a fluke, twice is a trend. 

I think release has come. When i update manually my home Laptop. Defintion is update with 11 sep 2014 r35.

New defs are out however the site has not yet been updated to reflect it

My SEPM has finally updated it's AV defs, although, the site still has not been updated to reflect the change.

Hello all,

Cheers for the posts, above- yes, SEP 12.1 definitions are available via LiveUpdate.  For customers still running SEP 11 (please upgrade to 12.1, SEP 11 users: less than four months remain before SEP 11 reaches its EOL) I recommend downloading and applying Rapid Release definitions as soon as possible.

This article will help to deploy this protection throughout the organization:

 

How to update definitions for Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager (SEPM) using a .jdb file

Article URL http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH102607

 

Or the RR defs can be applied to a single client:

 

How to apply rapid release definitions to a Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) client.

Article URL http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH104979

 

Should definitions ever be unavailable for more than a day via LiveUpdate, I definitely recommend applying a Rapid Release set.

Hope this helps!  I will update this thread later when news is available.

Definition is now available on site as well http://www.symantec.com/security_response/definitions.jsp?pid=sep1213 Definitions Released: 9/12/2014 Extended Version: 9/12/2014 rev. 9

This is fixed

http://www.symantec.com/security_response/definitions.jsp?pid=sep1213

Today the same issue is running in site, defintion is 9/13/2014 rev. 21 on symantec site but the Rapid release defintion is updated on daily bases.

I recommend you to update the Rapid release defintion.

Ok Symantec, I'm not liking the trend.   This is twice in a WEEK.
