Information Technology is in the process of upgrading the campus antivirus and firewall desktop application. The previous version, Symantec Antivirus (SAV), consisted of antivirus software and a firewall. However, the antivirus and firewall had to be run separately. With the new version of Symantec, Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP), there are many more features. SEP is equipped with antivirus, an integrated firewall, network threat protection, and zero day protection, which are centrally managed for you. In order to install SEP on each computer on campus, Information Technology will be physically visiting each computer to do the upgrade. This process has been underway for the past couple of months. So far, the upgrades have been nearly completed for Central Campus. Following Central Campus will be West Campus. The target date for the completion of all upgrades is December 31st, 2009. Above is the icon that will appear on you bottom toolbar after SEP is installed, next to the time display. Please post comments and let me know if this blog was helpful! Have a great week!
