Description

with the following new features:
Centralized licensing lets you purchase, activate, and manage product licenses from
the management console.
See Licensing Symantec Endpoint Protection"
The Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager logon screen enables you to have your
forgotten password emailed to you.
See Logging on to the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager console"
The Monitors page includes a set of preconfigured email notifications that inform you
of the most frequently used events. The events include when new client software is
available, when a policy changes, license renewal messages, and when the management
server locates unprotected computers. The notifications are enabled by default and
support the BlackBerry, iPhone, and Android.
See About the preconfigured notifications"
Improved status reporting automatically resets the Still Infected Status for a client
computer once the computer is no longer infected.
To increase the speed between the management server and the management console,
database, and the client computers:
Virus and spyware scans use Insight to let scans skip safe files and focus on files at risk.
Scans that use Insight are faster and more accurate, and reduce scan overhead by up to
70 percent.
See Modifying global scan settings for Windows clients"
See Customizing Auto-Protect for Windows clients"
See About commands you can run on client computers"on page 183
See Adjusting scans to improve computer performance"
LiveUpdate can run when the client computer is idle, has outdated content, or has been
disconnected, which uses less memory.
In Symantec Enterprise Protection Small Business Edition, you can now deploy and manage
Mac clients on Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager for Symantec Endpoint Protection
Small Business Edition.
