symantec endpoint protection license expired

All devices still running a University-licensed version of Symantec will stop receiving virus definitions and security updates after this date, rendering them vulnerable to security threats. The limited extension of the University’s Symantec license expires on Monday, June 14, 2021.

Symantec stopped providing virus definitions and security updates after the University’s license expired on June 13, 2020, except for a small number of devices that received a limited, one-year license extension. Doing so ensures your devices remain protected against the latest security threats and ensures the University remains compliant with its licensing agreements. If you are still using Symantec Endpoint Protection, please upgrade to Microsoft Defender for Endpoint (formerly known as Defender ATP) on University-owned devices or an alternative antivirus solution on personal devices.

As we communicated last year, the University replaced Symantec Endpoint Protection with Microsoft Defender ATP as its enterprise antivirus solution last year.
