AES is a robust algorithm and, when used with the 256-bit key option, provides strong protection against current and emerging threats.īeing a brand new product, Symantec Endpoint Encryption has not yet been Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2-certified, but the validation process is in progress. Symantec Endpoint Encryption supports the use of the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption algorithm with either 128-bit keys or 256-bit keys. Since Symantec Endpoint Encryption is a new product, it is only supported on relatively new Windows operating system (OS) versions, as follows: Microsoft Windows 8.1 Enterprise and Professional, Microsoft Windows 8 Enterprise and Professional, Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate, Enterprise and Professional, Microsoft Windows Server 2012 Datacenter and Standard, and Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Enterprise and Standard. It is intended to be centrally managed via the Symantec Endpoint Encryption Management Server product, which must be hosted in an Active Directory domain. Unlike some other vendors, Symantec makes a single version of its Endpoint Encryption software. The Symantec Endpoint Encryption product was first released in October 2014, replacing the Symantec Drive Encryption product.
