  9. Improved Management Server Performance • Utilizes a new delta creation process called X-Delta. • Typically delta creation takes seconds instead of minutes (as was the case with MR2 and previous). • Managed clients must be running MR3 also for this X-Delta process to work. • Previous process (mdef25builder )is still present and utilized for all preMR3 managed clients. Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0 – MR3 and Beyond…

  10. SEPM Performance MR3 vs. MR2 Significant reduction in resource usage during delta content creation Example shows a one month delta being created Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0 – MR3 and Beyond…

  11. SEPM Performance MR3 (X-Delta) vs MR2 Significant speed improvement… Smaller delta sizes in certain cases… Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0 – MR3 and Beyond…

  12. Content Download Randomization • Content download more virtualization friendly. • Configurable option to randomize when client will pull content from SEPM after it is available on the server. • Ensures less chance of heavy disk I/O due to the SEP client on different VMs loading new content at the same time. Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0 – MR3 and Beyond…

  13. GUP Enhancements • Control # days content is stored • Control amount of disk space used on client • Configure client to never bypass GUP • Configure the hours and days clients will wait for GUP until the download directly from SEPM • Configure client to never bypass so that traffic is minimized • Increased Scalability of client to GUP ratio • Now officially supports up to 1000 clients • Configurable thread pool used to serve clients (10-1000) Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0 – MR3 and Beyond…

  14. Granular Roles Administration • Allows admin to have control over specific policies • AntiVirus and AntiSpyware • Firewall • Intrusion Prevention • Application and Device Control • Centralized Exceptions • Host Integrity • Policies not selected, will not appear in UI • All policies enabled by default • Policies filtered in Clients and Policy Library Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0 – MR3 and Beyond…

  15. IIS custom website now utilised by default • More secure because we only enable the options we need.  • Previous website (IIS default) enabled many options, was more prone to vulnerability and attack. • Custom helps avoid conflicts with other apps or specific configuration which are used with the default website. Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0 – MR3 and Beyond…

Fixes 160+ bugs!!! 16

  17. MR3 Beta Customer “ Great news… I have created a Pilot group on the management server … We have heard great feedback at this point. Pre MR3 reports of 30 minutes from startup to usability to presently not even noticing it is running at startup are good signs.. Additionally, sluggishness during full scans has dropped dramatically… I would like to pilot a larger group on the MR3 but for now, I am getting very positive feedback…” • US Financial Services company specializing in tax services 17
