Symantec Client Security provides better protection for remote users and networked desktop clients against unauthorized network access and blended threats, such as Nimda, Code Red, and Slammer, by integrating antivirus, firewall, and intrusion detection technologies. It protects laptops outside the corporate firewall from being used by hackers to gain unauthorized enterprise network access during an ISP connection. The integrated security also provides better protection against blended threats for desktop clients that reside inside the firewall perimeter. Symantec Client Security can automatically scan files for known and unknown viruses, block suspect inbound and outbound traffic, as well as unauthorized intrusions and port scans. It can also audit the network to identify unprotected nodes that are vulnerable to virus attack, and determine which nodes are protected by Symantec Client Security antivirus technology, or other select third party products.
