Endpoint Protection

Symantec Endpoint Protection Management (SEPM) is a type of log data that provides insight into intrusion prevention, firewall, and anti-malware activities. SEPM analyzes all incoming traffic and outgoing traffic and offers browser protection to block such threats before they can be executed on the computer. It uses signature-based antivirus and file heuristics to look for and eradicate malware on a system to protect against viruses, worms, Trojans, spyware, bots, adware, and rootkits.

SEPM logs fall into one of six categories: control, packet, risk, security, system, and traffic. All of these logs are applicable to client activity, and some are applicable to server and application activity as well. Other logs concern management of policies, access to hardware and applications, and roles on client computers that connect to your company's network. 

In the Common Information Model, SEPM log data can be mapped to any of the following data models, depending on the field: AuthenticationChangeIntrusion DetectionMalware, and Network Traffic.
