Endpoint Protection

Hi all,

SEP 12.1.3 contains as a new feature "Integration with Insight for Private Clouds appliance", which seems to mean that SEP is able to work with a local Insight reputation database. That's great because some customers are hesitant to allow Insight Lookup via WAN.

However, I didn't find anything about the new feature except this KB article:

Configuring Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager to work with a private Insight server

http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO84720

Are there some more informations about installing and configuring Private Insight servers available?

Hey Greg,

A similar thread was opened on this but does not have a solution. You can view it here:

https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/does-anyone-have-any-information

This info seems to be sparse. I would suggest a call to support to discuss further.

Take care,

Brian

Thank you Brian, didn't see that.

Seems to have kinda fallen under the radar.

Hi Greg,

I recommend contacting your Sales representative.  Symantec Insight for Private Clouds (SIPC) is a virtual appliance that can be used for SEP 12.1 RU3 and above's Insight/Reputation-related lookups on dark networks (no Internet connectivity).  A rough analogy is that SIPC is like a "LiveUpdate Administartor 2.x server for Reputation" (creates an in-house mirror of what is on the Internet servers).

There are substantial system requirments for this virual appliance and SIPC is an optional add-on which must be purchased.  It's best suited for very large high-security networks (tens of thousands of endpoints with no Intenet access) in my understanding.  Sales should have more info for you, if this sounds like something that would be of interest. 

Hope this helps!
