Symantec Endpoint Security is a single-agent platform that protects traditional and mobile endpoint devices. Symantec Endpoint Security can be delivered as an on-premises, hybrid, or cloud-based solution. Integrated Cyber Defense Manager (ICDm) is a single cloud management console that strengthens overall endpoint security posture. Symantec says intelligent automation and AI-guided policy management enhance administrator productivity.

Symantec Email Threat Detection Response and Isolation (ETDR) is an add-on module for Symantec Email Security.cloud. ETDR adds sandboxing, click-time URL protection, clawback, and threat isolation, which give security teams more ways to uncover sophisticated threats, reduce user exposure, and contain risky content before it reaches endpoints. ETDR provides threat intelligence, indicators of compromise, and integration with SOC, SIEM, and SOAR processes. Web browser and email threat isolation keep users away from potentially dangerous sites, attachments, and downloads. Organizations that see users repeatedly targeted by phishing and credential theft can use awareness training, phishing simulations, and user risk profiling with ETDR. For organizations that rely on Email Security.cloud, ETDR offers a path to advanced detection and response without changing the underlying email security foundation. Symantec says it brings together core email prevention and advanced detection and response in a single cloud-delivered architecture.

Symantec ZTNA was formerly named Secure Access Cloud. CBX correlates security signals to drive prevention, detection and response. Broadcom says VMware Cloud Foundation 9 and Advanced Services help customers accelerate innovation, control cloud costs and enable sovereignty and security.

Broadcom says it gives mainframe customers the tools, technologies, and partner to amplify the value of the mainframe.
