Overview
The Symantec™ Endpoint Protection Integration
Component is designed to bring power and simplicity to
the process of upgrading and deploying your endpoints
to the Symantec™ Endpoint Protection 11.0 agent. The
Integration Component provides easier migrations and
installations for mid- to large-sized businesses with
integrated operational reporting and management on
the Symantec™ Management Platform. This free
component can scale for both LAN connected and
remote endpoints and facilitate migration from
Symantec AntiVirus™ Corporate Edition, Symantec™
Client Security, Confidence Online™ for Corporate PCs,
or Symantec Sygate™ Enterprise Protection through
robust delivery mechanisms that provide detailed
reporting, broad dashboards, multicasting technology,
and advanced client discovery.
Organizations can easily add management for clients
and servers to compliment security with Altiris™ Client
Management Suite from Symantec and Altiris™ Server
Management Suite from Symantec, which are also built
on the Symantec™ Management Platform. By leveraging
a common management infrastructure, you can improve
the security configuration of your systems, making a
well managed endpoint a secure endpoint. Your
organization would not only benefit from the integration
of security and management as it relates to security, but
from the improved productivity and decreased costs of
managing endpoints. Effective endpoint management is
key to reducing costs and providing a quality, stable, and
secure computing environment.

Centralized endpoint discovery and inventory
Knowing what endpoints are in your environment is
essential to ensuring your enterprise is properly
protected. Leveraging the discovery features in the
Symantec™ Management Platform and specific antivirus
inventory capabilities in the Integration Component
provides a single snapshot of known systems, what
existing protection products are installed and the
version of the protection agents. Endpoints can then be
easily organized into specific groups based on Active
Directory structures, corporate departments, etc. to
prepare for agent upgrades. These are the first stages
required for a standardized and successful rollout
process.
Centralized rollout and migration assistance
Take advantage of predefined software delivery tasks
that utilize robust software delivery mechanisms to
control the rollout, upgrade or uninstall of other security
clients through scheduling and customizable steps. You
can track delivery status—for example, the number of
successful installs or failure— for reporting and
streamlined troubleshooting. The Integration
Component includes pre-built upgrade tasks from
third-party vendors, so you can uninstall agents from
other vendors prior to your Symantec™ Endpoint
Protection client installation.

Client health and scanning tasks
Operations and help desk technicians can initiate virus
and security scans from the console as part of routine
troubleshooting. The Integration Component includes
predefined client health tasks to help ensure the client is
functioning correctly. Health tasks include repairing
virus definitions, and checking and restarting common
services.
Integrated reporting
The Symantec™ Management Platform provides
powerful reporting features and customizable
dashboards that allow you quickly view summary
information and act against the results. You can quickly
report against key parameters, such as security content
status and client version summary, and with a single
click access tasks to for client distribution or to restart
client services. Customizable dashboards can reflect
