Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1 Anti-virus Effectiveness in VMware vSphere 5 Virtual Environments

Abstract

As virtualization-aware endpoint security solutions continue to evolve, more and more functionality is offloaded from a single VM to its supporting infrastructure in the form of Virtual Appliances (VA). In addition to considering the performance impact of this re-architecting, administrators must also ensure that the protection offered remains fully-functional, even in virtual environments.
