Over the next several weeks, information services will be transitioning university-owned computers from Symantec Endpoint Protection to Microsoft’s System Center Endpoint Protection (SCEP) for virus prevention and detection.
UP’s license for Symantec will end in late July 2017, so every university-owned computer will need to be upgraded to SCEP. Not upgrading the anti-virus software will potentially expose computers and university data to unnecessary and preventable threats.
Information Services will be updating most university-owned systems automatically. For more information about this transition and recommendations for updating personal computers currently using Symantec from UP’s software download center, please see this Knowledge Base article.
If you have questions or need more information, please contact the help desk at x7000 or help@up.edu.
