Issue/Introduction

Need to know which Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) components are required for Host Integrity (HI) functionality.

Environment

Microsoft Windows

Symantec Endpoint Protection 14.3 and newer.

Resolution

In order to make use of the Host Integrity feature on a Windows SEP client the following requirements must be met:

• SEP client 14.3, or newer, installed on a supported Microsoft Windows system.
• SEP client must be installed with Core Files and Virus and Spyware Protection, at a minimum.
  • Additional SEP client components are required for quarantine functionality with an associated quarantine policy (e.g. The Quarantine Firewall policy requires the SEP Firewall component be installed).
• A Host Integrity policy must also be configured with the necessary compliance check rules.
  • Once configured the policy must be assigned to the group(s) that require Host Integrity compliance.
