NEW RELEASE: Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1.6 is Now Available 

Jun 01, 2015 12:04 PM

Overview

Today, Symantec released Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1.6, which integrates the existing features currently in Symantec Endpoint Protection for Windows XP Embedded 5.1. This release continues the positive momentum of Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1- Unrivaled Security, Blazing Performance, and Smarter Management.

With this latest release, Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1 now has features specific to the embedded platform. This change removes the need for the separate Symantec Endpoint Protection for Windows Embedded 5.1 offering. Symantec will cease selling Symantec Endpoint Protection for Windows XP Embedded today, June 1, 2015. The technical support services of the old 5.1 product will close on October 15, 2016. There is no direct migration between Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1 and the Symantec Endpoint Protection for Windows XP Embedded 5.1. We encourage customers who have embedded systems in their environments to upgrade to this latest version.

 

Key New Features in Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1.6

Integration of the existing features in Symantec Endpoint Protection for Windows XP Embedded

  • Reduced size client- 80-90% smaller than the standard size client that fits embedded systems, greatly reducing the definition set and improving performance
  • Supported OS systems- Windows embedded systems, Win10, RedHat7.0
  • Write filters support- File based write filter and registry filter are fully supported on all the supported Windows embedded systems

 

Feature Enhancements

  • Reducing the attack surface using System Lockdown- Integrated workflow for System Lockdown makes it easier to collect File Fingerprint list
  • Large content mitigation- Ability to alert the admin when Symantec Endpoint Protection clients request for full content, which mitigates network overload
  • Better with Advanced Threat Protection (ATP Integration)- Get a suspicious file from the client to the ATP server for further analysis

I couldn't install SEP 12.1.6 f/ fedora 23 .

The installation script aborts detecting wrongly the java version.

It detects below 1.5 , but I have the 1.8 installed , confirmed using java -version.

Thanks

This was fixed at either 12.1.2 or 12.1.3, I can't remember which exactly.

Hi,

is the issue with the "rapidly" growing sem5.log still present? Or is there already any kind of fix in the latest version.

 

It is really annoying to delete a >20 GB .log file every two weeks. :)

 

thanks!

It does not officially support Windows 10 although it should install just fine. See here:

Your article says it supports Windows 10, but other articles I've read say that it doesn't. Which is true?
