Symantec Launches Endpoint Protection (SEP) 14
Streamlining detection performance through advanced machine learning based on massive data analysis

Symantec Korea (CEO Hee-Beom Park) announced 'Symantec Endpoint Protection 14 (hereinafter SEP 14)', a next-generation integrated endpoint security solution that presents a new future for endpoint security.

SEP 14 is a security solution that provides robust multi-layered protection by applying artificial intelligence (AI) to endpoints and the cloud. It can block and respond to advanced advanced threats (APTs) by providing advanced endpoint protection technologies in a single agent, including the industry's first integration of machine learning into endpoint security technology, memory exploit attack blocking technology for zero-day detection, and real-time intelligent threat cloud lookup.

In particular, SEP 14's strength lies in being a lightweight product that provides even more robust protection and superior performance. Through real-time intelligent cloud query technology, it reduces network bandwidth capacity by a remarkable 70% compared to previous versions, while guaranteeing exceptional performance with industry-leading 99.9% efficiency and a low false positive rate. Furthermore, Symantec has further enhanced its threat intelligence capabilities by integrating the security threat telemetry from Blue Coat, which it recently acquired. Symantec currently protects 175 million personal and enterprise endpoints, 163 million email users, and 80 million web proxy users, processing approximately 8 billion security requests daily.

The overwhelming speed and sophistication of the new security threats facing businesses today are a serious problem. Symantec detected over 430 million new malware samples in 2015, and expects that number to increase further this year. SEP 14 provides a single console and management capabilities to respond to threats in a completely new way, supporting effective responses to increasingly serious sophisticated threats.

Park Hee-beom, CEO of Symantec Korea, said, “SEP 14 is a product that will lead the new Endpoint Security 2.0 era by providing advanced multi-layered protection that is distinctly different from existing ones, equipped with powerful artificial intelligence based on Symantec’s Global Intelligence Network (GIN), which possesses the world’s largest private security intelligence,” adding, “SEP 14 will provide integrated cybersecurity capabilities necessary for responding to today’s intelligent threats, enabling enterprise customers to effectively respond to targeted attacks or zero-day security threats and focus on their business.”

Meanwhile, Symantec Korea will hold the 'Symantec SEP 14 Launch Customer Seminar' on Thursday, the 24th, at the COEX InterContinental Hotel in Samseong-dong, Seoul. SEP 14 has been launched in global markets, including Korea, and more detailed information can be found on the Symantec website (www.symantec.co.kr).
