Introduction to various Symantec and Norton Security Products 

Dec 30, 2013 09:52 AM

What is this about?

In this article we will have a look at portfolio of both Symantec and Norton Security products. The introduced list will include both Enterprise products in case of Symantec family and Consumer products from Norton family. Some of the products will be possibly already familiar to you but what I hope to achieve in this article is to introduce some of the products that are maybe not that widely known but can indeed make your environment much more secure. During the course of reading you will undoubtly see that the range of Symantec Security products is really vast - reaching from Antivirus applications for desktops and laptops up to very specialized solutions for Exchange, Domino Servers or NAS devices. The portfolio will include both products descriptions as well as link to product home pages or whitepapers where more detailed info or pricing can be obtained. For Norton Security products I recommend as well perusing the provided links to the online reviews that will additionaly provide more informations about the software.

  • Network Access Control (SNAC) - Symantec product to validate and enforces policy compliance for the computers that try to connect to the production network. This validation and enforcement process begins before the computer connects to the network and continues throughout the duration of the connection. The Host Integrity policy is the security policy that serves as the basis for all evaluations and actions. SNAC clients may interact with a Symantec Enforcer. The Enforcer ensures that all the computers that connect to the network that it protects run the client software and have a correct security policy. SNAC can work as well in so called self-enforcement mode where it uses the Symantec desktop firewall to police network access, providing the easiest and fastest enforcement deployment option.

  • Symantec Data Loss Prevention (SDLP) - data security solution that discovers, monitors and manages confidential data both when it is stored and during transfer. DLP helps monitor the confidential data usage in order to establish potential high-risk users or endpoints. DLP provides as well email protection for corporate mobile devices like Iphone or Android based smartphones. DLP includes a Vector Machine Learning technology that learns how to detect sensitive data based on the unique characteristics of the sample data rather than on the file fingerprinting. DLP provides coverage of data monitoring and protection on all 3 levels:

- DLP Storage - DLP can scan the datacenters to find and protect confidential data stored on file servers, shares, databases or similar file repositories. In case of sensitive information exposure DLP can both provide the incident security teams with data owner and location information as well as content details of it in order to allow for fastest remediation.
- DLP Endpoint - scans for confidential data on laptops and desktops. DLP can secure the data from being copied to external drives by disabling the devices itself in order to prevent data leakage. It can as well encrypt confidential data if such is being identified and unprotected on the endpoints. DLP can also prevent the sensitive information to be printed out by desktop or laptop users.
- DLP Network - protects against data breaches in the network. Prevents data loss over outbound emaila by monitoring the email traffic and if needed quarantining or blocking it to prevent leak of sensitive information.

Can we get this updated to compare SEP 14.1 vs Norton vs SEP Cloud? I would be glad to volunteer our lab (Westcon/ Synnex...)
