Endpoint Protection

At what time is the daily update (LU) realeased?

hi,

No Specify Time but Release 3 times in a day

Symantec typically releases 1 to 3 sets of Virus and Spyware definitions a day.

I don't think that is correct, it is released some time in the evening in PST timezone. I had read it some where, but now I am not able to find that.

Hello,

With SEP (and I assume all future versions) we release definitions three times a day.

There's no set time that we release defs on/by.  We try to aim for early morning/noonish/later afternoon releases, but this obviously is at the mercy of QA...if we find that we've got broken definitions in one of the updates, the updates might be early morning/later afternoon/early evening, as an example.

By default, SEPM runs LiveUpdate every four hours...doing this means that it runs six times a day, with enough "overlap" to ensure that updates are downloaded near the time that they're released.

Full details on the releases can be found on the Multiple Daily Definitions - Detections Added page.

SEP 11 and SEP 12.1 have Multiple Daily Definitions (MDD's) so that even if a threat was first seen on the Internet that morning, by that afternoon or evening protection will be available. 

Final note: once per month, there are large hub definitions which must be downloaded for SEP 11 and current releases of SEP 12.1.  These will result in a spike of several GB for a day or two around the middle of the month, which is normal.
