| Q. I would like my customer who is currently a Corporate AntiVirus user to consider an upgrade to a current license. It seems that Symantec Endpoint Protection is their natural upgrade path. I want to determine how I obtain a license as a reseller to on-sell at retail price, and also advice on the best Symantec product to consider. A. Requiring less system resources and less memory than Symantec AntiVirus™ 10.0, Symantec™ Endpoint Protection 11.0 is the next generation of antivirus technology and offers at least three additional layers of proactive threat protection in a single agent: 1) Antivirus Antivirus provides the ability to accurately clean up and remove viruses and malware found on a system. 2) Client Firewall and Intrusion Prevention Client firewall and intrusion prevention work at the network layer to block threats before they get onto the system from the internet. 3) Application Control Application control allows administrators to build a clean system and then “snapshot” critical files and applications so that they simply cannot operate if they ever get compromised. 4) Proactive Threat Scan Proactive Threat Scan analyses every process, service and program on the system to ensure that any suspicious, rogue behaviour is blocked from doing damage, and it achieves this with complex mathematical analysis, instead of traditional antivirus signatures which need constant updating. What’s unique about this technology from Symantec is the absence of false-positives, which can cause annoyance or downtime for systems and users.
