"Fast Pathing" is a feature that it allows an organization to set a relatively long heartbeat interval to minimize traffic without losing up to date information about the security of clients.

Without this, important events like viral infections would only be uploaded during a heartbeat. Waiting for a heartbeat to forward events to the SEP Manager could slow down an organizations response time to an emerging threat.

 Configuration:

 

Immediate Notifications.

-There is a new option for the damper on security event related SEPM notifications: “None”.  

   Setting this causes this notification to be evaluated every minute, to ensure up-to-date information.

Applies To

  With "Fast Pathing" enabled, the client checks if there are new detections (*) or new network security events every minute.  If one of these critical events is found, the SEP client uploads all threat-detection and network security related information for the events from the logs (AVMan.log and seclog.log) but not any other log information.
