System Center Endpoint Protection

Security and management have traditionally existed as two separate disciplines, yet both play a central role in keeping your users safe and productive. Microsoft System Center Endpoint Protection allows you to consolidate desktop security and management in a single solution.

Built on System Center Configuration Manager, System Center Endpoint Protection provides a single, integrated platform that reduces your IT management and operating costs, in many case using your existing client management infrastructure to deploy and manage your endpoint protection. The unified infrastructure also provides improved visibility into the security and compliance of your client systems.

Features

• Support for System Center Configuration Manager RC, including integrated setup, management, and reporting.
• Role-based management across security and operations.
• Improved alerting and reporting, with real-time and user-centric data views.
• Automatic software deployment model for more efficient delivery of signature updates.
• Single Infrastructure for Client Management and Security
  System Center Endpoint Protection is built on Configuration Manager, creating a single infrastructure for deploying and managing endpoint protection.
  The convergence of client management and security eliminates the expense of purchasing and maintaining separate solutions by allowing you to remove existing endpoint protection solutions and repurpose those resources elsewhere. The shared infrastructure also provides the enterprise-scale performance of Configuration Manager, making deployment and configuration faster and easier for even the largest organizations.
• Industry-leading Malware Detection
  The antimalware engine protects against both known and unknown threats with a combination of highly accurate signatures and behavioral detection techniques. It has been highly ranked in independent third-party tests with special distinction for its low false positive rate.
• Improved Visibility for Identifying and Remediating Vulnerabilities
  System Center Endpoint Protection integrates with Configuration Manager to provide a single view into the compliance and security of your client systems through aggregated antimalware, patching, inventory, and usage information.
  It also provides deep protocol analysis of network traffic to identify and block attacks on vulnerable systems until the appropriate software update can be applied. As soon as the system is up-to-date, the vulnerability shield automatically disengages.
