SAV for Linux

[Migration User]

Hi,

Need some guidance.

Where can i get some recent information on SAV for Linux?

Is this still available?

Hello,

Currently, it is a part of SEP 12.1

If you download the latest SEP 12.1 RU3 DVD from Symantec Fileconnect, it will have the latest SAV for Linux client in it.

PS These articles may be of interest to anyone who has not seen all four:

• SAV for Linux Scanning Best Practices: A (Somewhat) Illustrated Guide covers the importance of auto-protect scanning, necessary scan exclusions and how to test them
• SAV for Linux: A (Somewhat) Illustrated Guide Part 2 provides examples of the various different ways in which SAVFL can be configured (by command line, by GRC.DAT and by xsymcfg).
• SAV for Linux: A (Somewhat) Illustrated Guide Part 3 focuses on how to keep SAV for Linux up-to-date.
• SAV for Linux: A (Somewhat) Illustrated Guide Part 4: SAVFL Reporter illustrates how to get some data and events from those isolated, unmanaged SAVFL clients into the Symantec AV's central management and reporting tool, the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager (SEPM). 

Hope that helps!!

Hi Jmodi,

Feel free to put any SAV for Linux questions you may have to the Connect forum.  There are several very good Linux admins active here.  I'm confident we will be able to help you get those Linux boxes protected!

I recommend that you definitely ensure those Linux machines are patched, have an AV like SAVFL, and are following best security practice with regards to configuration, passwords, and third party program patches/updates.  Symantec is aware of a number of recent threats that target this OS.  Security Response has blogged publically about a few of them.  Other security news sources have covered others.
