The introduction of Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0 and Symantec Network Access Control 11.0 (codenamed Project Hamlet) represents a significant step in the Symantec Security 2.0 vision.

Security 2.0 is Symantec's vision for protecting its customers from the next generation of risks to their information and interactions with its newest security products and services and ecosystem of strategic partnerships.

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. It features the new simplified 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.

Said Eric Hoh, vice president, Asia South Region, Symantec, "It resets the bar for endpoint security, reducing overhead, time and costs so that customers can efficiently manage security and gain confidence that corporate assets and business are protected."

Symantec has also introduced Symantec Network Access Control 11.0, an optional module tightly 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.

Both Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0 and Symantec Network Access Control 11.0 are expected to be globally available in September. To download the public beta of Symantec Endpoint Protection, visit www.symantec.com/endpointsecurity.
