New Symantec Endpoint Protection Software Available 11/30/15

The TTU IT Division has released a new Symantec Endpoint Protection software that supports Windows 10 and OS X El Capitan that will be available to download for Windows and Apple systems on the eRaider Software Download site – www.eraider.ttu.edu on November 30, 2015. When you download, the software will begin a simple installation process for you to follow.

On the eRaider Software Download site, you will be asked to select either managed or unmanaged versions: 

  • All university-owned Windows and Apple computers should use the managed package, which allows the Symantec software to be managed by the departmental NSCs. 
  • Personally-owned computers should use the unmanaged package, which requires the owner to manage the Symantec software.

The following table provides further information about each version:

Thank you for your partnership as we work together to protect our data and information resources.
