Symantec Endpoint Protection — Unmanaged Client Download

Critical Security Risks:

• No Policy Revocation: If a laptop is stolen, you cannot remotely wipe or disable the SEP client via a central server.
• Rogue Configurations: A user with admin rights could disable the unmanaged client permanently without IT knowing.
• Version Fragmentation: You will manually need to upgrade unmanaged clients from version 14.3 to 14.3 RU8 (or later). There is no auto-upgrade path.

Step 3: Configure Local Policy (Optional but Recommended)

• Without a management server, you must configure protection manually.
• Open the SEP client interface → Change Settings.
• Define:
  • Virus and Spyware Protection (real-time scans, SONAR, Download Insight).
  • Firewall policies (allow/block rules).
  • Scheduled scans.
  • Update frequency (default: every 4 hours from LiveUpdate).

3. Firewall Policy (If Installed)

During installation, you can choose to install the network threat protection component. If enabled:

• Set the firewall to Block All when not on corporate network (for laptops).
• Create allow rules for trusted applications.
