Sygate / Symantec Firewalls

Summary

Sygate Secure Enterpise (SSE) and Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) are centrally managed host-based firewall systems for Windows servers. The 'Basic' download gives your server a basic firewall ruleset suitable for patching, but not usable for server roles. Administrators can create their own groups with inherited rules, and then move their servers into those groups. Like Active Directory, inheritance can be blocked, and rules can be inherited but disabled.

Version-specific Downloads and Login Pages
