Key Use Cases
Mitigate Risk from Unsafe Browser Activity
Filter out unsafe web content using policies to reduce risk and maintain compliance. The Symantec Global Intelligence Network classifies sites and URLs, allowing companies to set risk thresholds and block harmful content. Policies are centrally managed for both cloud and on-premises deployments, consistently applied to users and groups, regardless of location.
Secure Application Access with Symantec ZTNA
Symantec ZTNA offers a powerful alternative to VPNs by transforming how organizations grant application access. Unlike VPNs, which can allow access to the entire network, ZTNA adheres to the “least privilege” principle, granting users access only to necessary applications based on identity and predefined policies. This minimizes the attack surface and reduces potential damage in the event of a breach.
Eliminate Threats by Securing and Isolating Risky Web Traffic
Symantec Web Isolation executes web sessions away from endpoints, sending only safe renderings to users’ browsers. This prevents website-delivered zero-day malware from reaching devices. Combined with Symantec Secure Web Gateways, policies direct traffic from uncategorized or suspicious sites through Isolation for safe browsing. Additionally, Symantec Web Isolation integrates with messaging solutions to isolate email links, preventing phishing threats and credential attacks.
