Correct. Symantec Enterprise Security Manager is no longer available in the Broadcom products list and no security content updates (definitions) are published any longer. The last security update for Symantec Enterprise Security Manager was released on 17 November 2016.
No. Broadcom only supports Raw Based collection (RBC) and MBC data collection is End of Support.
Since ESM and MBC data collection is at the End of Support (EoS) by Broadcom, updates are not available for Symantec Enterprise Security Manager, nor is any technical support provided.
