Symantec Endpoint Protection, developed by Symantec Corporation, is an antivirus and personal firewall software for centrally managed corporate environments providing security for both servers and workstations.
Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition was the initial software from Symantec in this market, its last release before discontinuation was version 10.2 MP1, (10.2.4). Its successor Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) software was released September 23, 2007 and labeled version 11. In 2009 a Small Business Edition (SBE) of SEP (version 11) was introduced in addition for seats/nodes <=100 and labeled version 12. In 2011 both software lines were updated to version 12.1. In 2015 SEP SBE 12.1 was discontinued and replaced by SEP SBE version, reflecting changes in licensing (from perpetual to subscription) and shifting focus from on-premises to cloud-managed business. SEP was updated from version 12.1 to version 14.0 October 28, 2016 introducing several improved and new detection features.
