Windows AD integration helps sync an organization’s AD structure into EMS so the same organization units (OUs) can be used for endpoint management. All vulnerable endpoints are easily identified for administrative action. Vulnerability dashboard helps manage an organization’s attack surface. Makes deploying FortiClient configuration to thousands of clients an effortless task with the click of a button.
The Zero Trust Agent supports ZTNA tunnels, single sign-on (SSO), and device posture check to FortiOS access proxyĬentral Management via EMS or FortiClient CloudĬentralized FortiClient deployment and provisioning that allows administrators to remotely deploy endpoint software and perform controlled upgrades. There aren't any known exploits in the wild, but it's reasonable to presume that Symantec wants to have everything up to date before would-be hackers develop an intrusion technique.Zero Trust Agent with Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) The biggest concern surrounds software that requires a more conventional patching process. Its antivirus suites with LiveUpdate should already have a patch in place. The good news? Symantec is taking care of this relatively quickly. And on Windows, an attack compromises the kernel - you know, the very deepest level of the operating system. As Symantec is intercepting system input and output, you only need to email a file - the victim doesn't even need to read the email, just the act of AV scanning it is a trigger - or send a web link to wreck someone's day.
The kickers are that it's both easy to launch the exploit and particularly vicious in most cases. If you use an early version of a compression tool to squeeze executables, you can trigger a memory buffer overflow that gives you root-level control over a system. Google's Tavis Ormandy has discovered a vulnerability in Symantec's antivirus engine (used in both Symantec- and Norton-branded suites) that compromises Linux, Mac and Windows computers. Security holes in antivirus software are nothing new, but holes that exist across multiple platforms? That's rare.
