Hi, we have the physical ATP appliance (8880). We are going to Symantec Endpoint Security (SES) which with the EDR, what will be the use and benefits of having the physical ATP appliance going forward?

The Symantec Endpoint Security Complete license includes the entitlement to be able to use EDR on-prem as well as EDR in cloud. You have the freedom/flexibility to choose where you deliver management with that license.

A few reasons/use cases for on-prem SEP/EDR appliance are to manage Endpoints that that may be on isolated/dark networks, if you are correlating email threat incidents from our Email Security.cloud product, if the existing SEP/EDR on-prem technology has features/functions that you are using today that may not yet be available in cloud (Host Integrity policies for example are not yet available in cloud), or if you have a preference for on-premise security vs. cloud-managed.
