symantec endpoint protection 14.3 ru4 release notes

In late 2012, Symantec released version 12.1.2, which supports VMware vShield. Insight was intended to combat malware that generates mutations of its files to avoid detection by signature-based anti-malware software. Version 12 incorporated a cloud-based database of malicious files called Symantec Insight.

In February 2011, Symantec announced version 12.0 of Endpoint Protection. A Small Business Edition with a faster installation process was released in 2010. In 2009, Symantec introduced a managed service, whereby Symantec staff deploy and manage Symantec Endpoint Protection installations remotely. The disk footprint of Symantec Corporate Edition 10.0 was almost 100 MB, whereas Endpoint Protection's was projected to be 21 MB. Endpoint Protection 11.0 was intended to address these criticisms. Īt the time, Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition was widely criticized as having become bloated and unwieldy. For example, it can block data transfers to unauthorized device types, such as USB flash drives or Bluetooth devices. Endpoint Protection also included new features. Endpoint Protection is the result of a merger of several security software products, including Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition 10.0, Client Security, Network Access Control, and Sygate Enterprise Edition.

The first release of Symantec Endpoint Protection was published in September 2007 and was called version 11.0.
