Description:

Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1 protects networked laptops, desktops, and servers ("endpoints") against viruses, worms, Trojan horses, spyware, adware, rootkits, and threats not seen before ("zero-day attacks"). It consists of client software that runs on the endpoints and management software that runs on a server. This product is most suitable for organizations with 100 or more endpoints.

Symantec Endpoint Protection combines several Symantec technologies:

• Antivirus and Antispyware: scans for both viruses and security risks
• Desktop Firewall: prevents unauthorized users from accessing the computers and the networks that connect to the Internet
• Intrusion Prevention: acts as the endpoint's second layer of defense after the firewall
• Proactive Threat Scanning: analyzes the behavior of an application or process to determine if it exhibits characteristics of threats
• Device Control: blocks or allows access from devices, such as USB, infrared, FireWire, SCSI, serial ports, and parallel ports
• Application Control: blocks or allows applications that try to access system resources

The management software uses a single console to manage all the endpoints in an organization. Software and policy updates can be sent to all the organization's computers and servers, and their activities and statuses can be monitored centrally. Reports are available in web-based graphical form.

Rather than having several "agents" installed for the various functions, Endpoint Protection uses a single agent for all of them and thus uses less memory and disk space on each endpoint.

This donation includes a one-year subscription for use of the product, protection updates, and new product features.

New in Version 12.1: Version 12.1 adds support for Mac OS X, Linux, and virtual-environment endpoints. New Insight technology identifies rapidly mutating threats and also speeds up scans by examining only files at risk. Proactive threat scanning now uses SONAR 3 technology.

Same as Retail Version: This product is identical to the version sold through the Symantec website and includes the standard support, renewal, and upgrade options available with retail products.

Choose Carefully: The administrative fee for this downloaded product is not refundable, and the product cannot be exchanged.

Installation File and Licenses: When your donation request has been approved, TechSoup will send an email to your organization email address containing download instructions. In 7 to 10 days, Symantec will send a second email with a certificate for your user licenses and the serial number needed for downloading.

Description:

Symantec System Recovery 2011 is a backup and recovery solution that uses disk imaging technology to protect servers. It takes snapshots of entire hard disks that can be saved to almost any type of storage media or converted to virtual disks. When recovery is needed, these snapshots (called recovery points) can be restored to either the same hardware configuration or a different hardware setup.

Benefits for Organizations

Regular backups can protect your organization against a data-loss catastrophe. With Symantec System Recovery, you can restore an entire system or individual files and folders if a disaster renders servers inoperable.

Major Capabilities

• You can create recovery points as needed or scheduled to be created automatically.
• If only certain files need to be recovered, you can browse the recovery point to restore individual files, Exchange messages, and SharePoint documents.
• System Recovery supports secondary backup locations, which are often essential when primary on-site backups are inaccessible or unrecoverable.

Free Management Console

The System Recovery Management Solution is free for any organization with a valid Symantec System Recovery license. It provides a centralized management console for organizations administering System Recovery on multiple computers distributed across one or more locations. Symantec recommends it for managing 20 or more servers. It must be installed on a computer running Windows Server.
