Integrating with Symantec Endpoint Security

Overview

When configured, the Blumira integration with Symantec Endpoint Security will stream security event logs to the Blumira service for automated threat detection and actionable response. Forward traffic logs from Symantec Endpoint Security to a SIEM for long-term storage, compliance, audit, reporting, or legal reasons.

This integration requires a Blumira sensor to be installed before you can complete the steps below. Ensure that you complete the steps in Building a Blumira sensor with Ubuntu before you continue.
