About this guide
The Network Security Management System automates the process of delivering
security and product updates to the 7100 Series appliances using Symantec Live
Update to provide real-time protection against the latest threats.
In addition, the Network Security Management System can be used to expand
the intrusion protection umbrella using the Symantec Network Security Smart
Agents to provide enterprise-wide, multi-source intrusion management by
aggregating, correlating, and responding to events from multiple Symantec and
third-party host and network security products.
