Symantec announced the introduction of Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0 and
Symantec Network Access Control 11.0. Symantec Endpoint Protection combines
Symantec AntiVirus with advanced threat prevention in a single agent delivering
defense against malware for laptops, desktops and servers.

In order to protect customers from both today's threats and tomorrow's
emerging threats, Symantec Endpoint Protection includes technologies that
automatically analyze application behaviors and network communications to detect
and actively block attacks. Customers are provided integrated antivirus,
antispyware, firewall, host- and network-based intrusion prevention solutions (IPS),
and application and device control into a single solution.

"Symantec Endpoint Protection makes it easier for businesses to adopt a
more effective multi-layered security solution and extends the power of
antivirus to address today's evolving threat landscape," said Enrique
Salem, Group President, Worldwide Sales and Marketing, Symantec.

Symantec Endpoint Protection offers the benefit of essential security
technologies (antivirus, antispyware, desktop firewall, intrusion prevention and
device control) via a single integrated agent and administered from a single
management console. Symantec Endpoint Protection features the management
console, Network Access Control (NAC) enablement out of the box, and a range of
training and support offerings to speed implementation for partners and
customers.

Symantec also introduced a new version of its Symantec Network Access Control
product. Symantec Network Access Control 11.0 is an optional module integrated
with Symantec Endpoint Protection to help customers discover and evaluate the
status of endpoints, provision the appropriate network access and provide
remediation capabilities to ensure security policies and standards are met.
