1. Introducing the Symantec
Endpoint Security opportunity
The level of malicious code being developed and deployed is increasing year on year, and a staggering
90% of attacks are now focused on targeting confidential information. For your customers, the IT security
threat has never been greater and the reasons to migrate to Symantec never more compelling.
Symplify
Not only should you consider Symantec for your customers at renewal, you should be considering a rip and replace
strategy, taking advantage of some exceptional competitive SKU’s you could be migrating your customer to the
world’s benchmark protection solution for less than the cost of the current renewal for antivirus alone.
Use a Symantec Endpoint Protection solution to:
■ Simplify security: manage SEP via a single agent administered by a single management console. This simplifies
endpoint security administration via single software updates and policy updates, unified and central reporting and a
single licensing and maintenance programme
■ Integrate for greater protection: The Symantec Protection Suite brings together endpoint security, messaging
security and system recovery to eliminate points of weakness in your customers overall protection strategy.
Go further by integrating security seamlessly with systems and storage management
■ Reduce Risk: By layering antivirus, antispyware, advanced network threat protection, proactive technologies and
sophisticated administrative control features to significantly reduce IT operational risks
■ Reduce Costs: by reducing administrative overheads and the costs associated with managing multiple endpoint
security products. Customers also enjoy significant cost savings over buying competitive point products with
comparable functionality
■ Take a stronger position against threats: attackers are becoming smarter, more mature and more prolific. Symantec
is continually investing in outpacing these threats to provide the most rapid, reliable protection available.

6. Symantec Endpoint Protection
migration made simple
Make migration to Symantec Endpoint Protection Portfolio painless for your customer and profitable for
you by combining Symantec’s powerful migration tools with Avnet’s proven migration experience.
Using SEP-IC or other automated deployment tool greatly reduces the amount of effort required over a
manual process.
Ease and scalability of deployment: Avnet’s own extensive knowledge of SEP deployment suggests that within
a properly defined migration strategy and where the Symantec Endpoint Protection Integration Component (SEP-IC)
or a similar 3rd party tool is deployed customers can expect to migrate up to 1500 machines per day. This means
large organisations or companies that have grown sporadically by acquisition can achieve coverage in days rather
than weeks.
A 1000 system environment typically takes 12 days from preparation and design through to completion, a 10,000
system environment takes 24 days.
Ease of replacement – SEP has built in automated tasks to minimise user input for the removal of legacy antivirus
products from all the other major Suppliers, to support fast deployment/upgrade capability – this is useful for
companies that have grown through acquisition inheriting many new systems with disparate antivirus technologies.

The timelines for migration will vary according to the customer’s specific environment and any change control or regression
testing requirements. Effective preparation and design is crucial to a successful deployment, typically 5-10 days for this stage
including configuration of management servers and common policies for AV, IPS etc.
It’s also critical to take time to understand the manual processes that could be automated using SEP and quantify the savings.
Similarly the cost savings of backup and recovery at the desktop level should be explored.

QUESTION
Are your endpoint
security solutions
becoming more
complex to manage?
With various agents
and options on the
desktop, how
frequently must
updates be run to
stay current?
ANSWER
Unlike antivirus-only and point product solutions, Symantec™ Protection Suite
delivers multiple layers of protection including security, backup and recovery. It offers
the broadest protection in one solution at a very competitive price.
■ Competitive antivirus customers could cross-grade to either edition for less
than the cost of their current renewal for antivirus alone
■ Symantec’s proven endpoint security, messaging security and system recovery
technologies will help you reduce the cost of securing your environment and
enable you to more effectively manage IT risks
■ Symantec’s endpoint protection technology, combining all the essential security
technologies you need into a single agent, is easily managed through a single
management console that reduces administrative overhead
■ The suite’s messaging security components share common interfaces, and the
Symantec Brightmail™ Gateway integrates comprehensive inbound and outbound
protection of email and instant messages into a single administrative interface with
powerful integrated reporting.
www.avnet.com/ts/uk
QUESTION
Do you have problems
with increasing
quantities of spam, as
well as virus and
malware?
What are you currently
doing to manage your
endpoint and
messaging
environment and to
control constantly
growing maintenance
and support costs?
ANSWER
Symantec Protection Suite includes endpoint protection technology, which combines
all the essential security technologies you need into a single agent and eliminates
the procurement costs of multiple security solutions. It is easily managed through a
single management console that reduces administrative overhead.
The suite’s messaging security components share common interfaces, and the
Symantec Brightmail™ Gateway integrates comprehensive inbound and outbound
protection of email and instant messages into a single administrative interface with
powerful integrated reporting.
Other items to call out:

I already have a
security solution
and it protects my
network well
Not all antivirus is created equal – You often don't know your AV has not done its job
until something has already happened – is that worth the risk? Some antivirus
cannot protect against the threats that are well known and documented, whereas
Symantec has a stellar history of success on tests like VB100.
I want to outsource as
much as possible –
including Mail Security
If you only take advantage of just 2 or 3 items in the Symantec Protection Suite, you
can save money over individual solutions. Further, if you decide to outsource at a
later date, you can still take advantage of the messaging security components –
even with hosted mail security, you should have AV at all layers of your network.
Additionally, if you prefer different AV engines, you would also want to consider
multiple vendor stacks in your environment.
Protection Suite just
adds complexity to my
network – for example,
the Mail Gateway
The suite’s messaging security components share common interfaces, and the
Symantec Brightmail™ Gateway integrates comprehensive inbound and outbound
protection of email and instant messages into a single administrative interface with
powerful integrated reporting.
■ Keeps harmful traffic off network
■ Provides added protection against malware
■ Improves scalability of expensive groupware
■ Provides more effective control of email traffic.
I find a hosted solution
more appealing
The Symantec Brightmail-based antispam technology delivers greater than 97%
effectiveness and a false positive rate of less than one in a million, making it one of
the industry’s most accurate solutions.
■ Affords superior antispam protection
■ Offers greater control
■ Keeps sensitive information in-house.
www.avnet.com/ts/uk
QUESTION
ANSWER
We already have an
antivirus solution and
it works fine
While antivirus solutions provide some protection, numbers of malicious threats and
attacks are growing rapidly, and AV products alone do not provide the complete
protection you need. SPS delivers antivirus, antispyware, a firewall, intrusion
prevention, device and application control to provide comprehensive protection from
unknown threats – with great performance, low resource utilisation and excellent
management capabilities.
I am considering
adopting free open
source antispam
products
In many cases, open source products are not supported and not managed. This
means security administrators have to spend more time managing the open source
products. They spend more time adjusting rules and block lists. When spam still gets
through, it clogs up email accounts. Email messages that are wrongly flagged may
be delayed in getting to the proper recipient or not getting there at all. These things
have a negative impact on productivity.
We simply don’t need
everything that
Symantec Protection
Suite provides
Attackers are aware that large enterprises have over-worked IT groups, and that
smaller businesses don't have IT staff dedicated to security. Because of this,
attackers are constantly testing for weaknesses in business defences.
Smaller businesses are good targets for attackers and often have more to lose.
Symantec Protection
Suite costs too much
Because of its comprehensive and complete protection, SPS enables customers to
reduce the number of relationships customers have with multiple vendors to solve
their security concerns. This saves both time and money.
Symantec Protection Suite can save the customer up to 40 percent of the cost of
buying just two point products from the competition.
Our employees are
responsible to back up
their own data
Statistics show that – even when it is expected of them – 85% of employees do not
back up their own data on a regular basis. This can result in costly help desk calls
and lost productivity. With the backup and recovery capabilities in SPS, customers
can implement a backup and recovery solution for all corporate desktops and
laptops. It’s easy to use and enables users to set up backup schedules that run
automatically in the background. This enables customers to easily restore (in
minutes) individual files or folders or an entire system that has failed.
