Feature

Check Point Harmony Endpoint

Symantec SES

BUILT-TO-PREVENT

Multi-Layered Homogeneous ProtectionCheck Point combines signature-based protection and behavioral machine-learning engines to protect against known & unknown threats

Disparate ProtectionSymantec requires additional disparate and different products: 1. Endpoint, WSS(for URLF, Phishing) & Full-Disk Encryption. Each has different UI and policy.

WEB, FRAUD & PREEMPTIVE PROTECTION

Prevent unsafe web usageCheck Point Harmony protects users from phishing attacks, unsafe URLs and delivers sanitized version of documents (CDR) by removing exploitable content.

Missing Key ProtectionsSymantec SES does not support phishing & CnC protection. URLF & Phishing are in a separated product (WSS) and CDR (content disarm & reconstruction) is basic as it is based on reputation

RANSOMWARE PROTECTION

Full Protection

Partial ProtectionLacks intelligent backups / data restoration capability (disaster recovery). Compromised host data cannot be restored

COMMAND & CONTROL ATTACKS

ProtectedCheck Point’s Harmony Endpoint blocks communication to bot servers (C&C) resulting in data exfiltration.

NoneSymantec does not provide such protection

MANAGEMENT

Ease of UseUnified: 1 single menu
Harmony Endpoint Policy is Unified – policy configuration in 1 single menu Symantec has 3X different policy for each security action, Endpoint, WSS(for URLF) – Watch Here

Complex3x Separated Policies
FDE: separate server, separate MGMT and additional agent – Watch Here

VALUE FOR MONEY

Comprehensive Endpoint ProtectionSingle Bundle for it all
Harmony Endpoint offers all-in-one complete solution, including: Endpoint protection(EPP), EDR, URLF & phishing protection & FDE + media encryption

Pay More, Get LessMultiple subscriptions
Symantec full protection requires purchasing additional products on-top of the endpoint, for additional cost. That results multiple MGMT consoles and separate policies. That adds to complexity, additional man labor, higher TCO and it is all prone to errors (security wise)
