With the introduction of Symantec Endpoint Framework in our previous release, we can easily plug in significant updates when they’re available. Many enterprise customers suffer from agent fatigue and Symantec helps reduce the number of required agents by consolidating Web Security Services, Application control and Threat Defense for Active Directory with SES Complete and other Symantec products into a single agent.Įnhancing protection is our main objective. We delivered consolidation beyond just a single-agent for macOS which allows you to switch either to on-premises or cloud management. RU1 is the first release to use both system and network extensions and, as a result, we’re seeing improved CPU utilization and stability.

Apple recommended abandoning the use of kexts and we rewrote the main bulk of our technology for this reason. Kernel extensions (kexts) have been an integral part of security software accessing kernel functions, but poorly written kexts frequently cause kernel crashes. If you’re familiar with the on-premises version of SEP, and use Integrated Cyber Defense manager (ICDm), there’s no need to reinstall the agents. The Symantec agent, powered by our heuristic and award-winning engine, prevents the latest ransomware and malicious documents from wreaking havoc in your enterprise.


The Symantec agent-used by SEP, SES Enterprise, and SES Complete-enhances Apple macOS security and provides enhancements such as device control, network firewall and intrusion prevention to block threats from compromising the endpoint.

Managing Macs beyond firewalls, VPNs or other access control devices placed security teams in a bind when they were unprotected, unmanaged and unmonitored. The Mac is far from new to enterprises, but it has gained traction amid the rush to support employees working from anywhere.
