Symantec hass pushed its latest answer to enterprise security into a crowded playing field with the release of Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0 and Symantec Network Access Control 11.0.

<A HREF="http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,2189668,00.asp?kc=EWKNLNAV092807STR4">Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0, code-named Hamlet,</A> combines Symantec AntiVirus with advanced threat prevention in a single agent, managed through a single console. Slated to be available this month, Hamlet integrates a number of security technologies into a single agent at the endpoint with the goal of enabling customers to reduce costs and complexity.

It is NAC-ready, Symantec officials said, and the software is integrated into the same endpoint agent and management console--though users must buy a separate license to enable it.
