Symantec Unveils Advanced Threat Protection

(RTTNews) - Cyber security provider Symantec Corp. (SYMC) Tuesday introduced Symantec Advanced Threat Protection or ATP. This is the first solution that can detect and remediate advanced threats across control points, from a single console with just a click, all with no new endpoint agents to deploy.

Advanced threats, such as ransomware, remote access trojans, advanced persistent threats and zero day attacks, are on the rise and security professionals can no longer rely on using individual point products at each control point to stop them, Symantec noted.

At the same time, the process of uncovering threat data across endpoint, network and email gateways is manual and time-consuming.

Symantec ATP correlates suspicious activity across all control points and prioritizes the events that pose the most risk to an organization.

Once a critical threat is identified, it can now be quickly contained and new instances can be blocked.
