Symantec Corp. announced a significant step in its Security 2.0 vision with the introduction of Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0 and Symantec Network Access Control 11.0 (codenamed Project Hamlet).   Symantec Endpoint Protection, the most significant   update to Symantec's market-leading enterprise antivirus product in years   combines Symantec AntiVirus with advanced threat prevention in a single agent delivering unmatched defense against malware for laptops, desktops and servers.   Symantec Endpoint Protection is available today in public beta at www.symantec.com/endpointsecurity.

In order to protect customers from both today's threats and tomorrow's emerging   threats,   Symantec   Endpoint   Protection includes proactive technologies that automatically analyze application behaviours and network communications to detect and actively block attacks. Customers are provided   integrated   antivirus,   antispyware,   firewall,   host-   and network-based intrusion prevention solutions (IPS), and application and device control into a single solution that is easy to install and easy to manage, according to an official release.

Symantec Endpoint Protection reduces administrative costs associated with managing   multiple   endpoint   security products by bringing together award-winning technology from Symantec, Sygate, Whole Security and Veritas. This provides operational efficiencies and gives customers a best-of-breed, yet fully integrated solution that works across platforms and is supported by a single vendor. It is also backed by Symantec's Global Intelligence Network with eight Symantec Security Response Centers, four Symantec Security Operations Centers, 120 million systems and more than 40,000
sensors deployed in 180 countries.
