When Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager (SEPM) is enrolled in the Integrated Cyber Defense Manager (ICDm), theNetwork Intrusion Preventionpolicy is exclusively managed from the cloud. This setup enables:

Centralized Policy Management:By managing Network Intrusion Prevention in the cloud, ICDm ensures that policy updates and threat intelligence can be applied across all endpoints efficiently.

Real-Time Policy Updates:Cloud-based management allows immediate adjustments to intrusion prevention settings, improving responsiveness to new threats.

Consistent Security Posture:Managing Network Intrusion Prevention from the cloud ensures that all endpoints maintain a unified defense strategy against network-based attacks.

Cloud management of this policy provides flexibility and enhances security across hybrid environments.

To improveSymantec Endpoint Protection Manager (SEPM) dashboard performance and report accuracy, an administrator canrebuild database indexes. Indexes help in organizing the database for faster data retrieval, which enhances both the speed of dashboard displays and the accuracy of reporting.

Effect of Rebuilding Database Indexes:

Rebuilding indexes optimizes the database’s performance by ensuring data is stored in an accessible and efficient manner. This directly impacts the responsiveness of the SEPM dashboard and improves reporting speed and accuracy.

Why Other Options Are Less Effective:

Decreasing content revisions(Option A) andlimiting backups(Option D) reduce disk usage but do not affect database performance.

Lowering client installation log entries(Option B) may reduce logging but does not directly improve dashboard performance.

References: Rebuilding database indexes is a standard maintenance task in SEPM to enhance dashboard and reporting performance​.

Totemporarily or permanently block a file, the administrator should use theDeny Listoption. Adding a file to the Deny List prevents it from executing or being accessed on the system, providing a straightforward way to block suspicious or unwanted files.

Functionality of Deny List:

Files on the Deny List are effectively blocked from running, which can be applied either temporarily or permanently depending on security requirements.

This list allows administrators to manage potentially malicious files by preventing them from executing across endpoints.

Why Other Options Are Not Suitable:

Delete(Option A) is a one-time action and does not prevent future attempts to reintroduce the file.

Hide(Option B) conceals files but does not restrict access.

Encrypt(Option C) secures the file’s data but does not prevent access or execution.

References: The Deny List feature in Symantec provides a robust mechanism for blocking files across endpoints, ensuring controlled access​.
