The real-time visibility is excellent because it uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to detect advanced threats
Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise helps us meet regulatory requirements for payment card industries. We must use next-generation antivirus to comply with PCI regulations. The solution protects our network environment, data, and devices. Symantec is an innovative solution. They're always upgrading the product, and the signatures are constantly updated on the cloud side, and the signatures update on my machine three or four times. Symantec stays ahead of novel viruses and malware using machine learning and next-generation technology It helps us adopt a multilayered approach to security that incorporates behavioral analysis to detect threats that a signature-based solution can't protect us against. I rate Symantec's Endpoint Security Enterprise Single Agent System an eight out of ten for attack surface reduction, attack prevention, and breach prevention. A single breach can impact the company's reputation. The return on investment is always great because we are confident that Symantec will protect our users and data. Symantec Global Intelligence Network helped us reduce false positives by 20 to 30 percent, so we aren't spending as much time investigating these alerts. This frees up resources to do something else. Two of our people working on Symantec also have other responsibilities.
