Syamntec endpoint protection is not only shipping for Windows systems, but also for OS-X and Linux systems.

  2. Download JCE from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jce8-download-2133166.html
  3. Install the cryptografic files into "/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/jre/lib/security"
  4. Ony 64-bit systems enable i386 packages and install glibc in 32bit edition
    dpkg --add-architecture i386
    apt-get update
    apt-get install libc6:i386
  5. On 64-bit systems install the linux-headers to allow compilation of the realtime scan kernel modules
    apt-get install linux-headers-amd64
  6. Download your SEP package from your server wget http://<your-sep-server>/EmailInstallPackages/xxxxxxxxxxxx/sep/SymantecEndpointProtection.zip
  7. Unzip zip package
  8. bash ./install.sh -i
