Hi everyone, Just in case some of you missed this, SEP11 is misreporting the date on the latest virus and proactive threat protection defs. ---------- From Symantec.com : "An issue has been identified in the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager (SEPM) server whereby all types of SEP definition content [AV/AS, IPS] with a date greater than December 31, 2009 11:59pm are considered to be “out of date”. Customers running SEP are still protected, and we are continuing to release updated definitions as normal. However, for the time being, SEP definitions will display a date of December 31, 2009, with increasing revision numbers. Symantec is working on a solution and will update customers when a solution becomes available." Impacted Products: • Symantec Endpoint Protection v11.x Product Line • Symantec Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition v12.x Product Line ---------- For further information please see Symantec KB: http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/ent-security.nsf/docid/2010010308571348 Here's the link to the notification: http://www.symantec.com/connect/forums/official-status-sepm-definitions-stay-31-12-2009-last-updated-06-jan-2010 The latest defs are now up to "12/31/09 r117" Best, Christopher Penido =================================== Christopher Penido Network Security Analyst NYU \ ITS Technology Security Services \ security () nyu edu chris.penido () nyu edu ----------------------------------------------- Home @ http://security.nyu.edu Alerts @ http://security.nyu.edu/alerts News @ http://security.nyu.edu/news ===================================
