Download Symantec Endpoint Encryption 11.2.0 MP1

Symantec has historically acquired two different companies that developed encryption software: GuardianEdge and PGP. Symantec has long released the software from these two acquisitions as two different encryption product lines. The GuardianEdge line was renamed ‘Endpoint Encryption’ and the PGP line was renamed ‘Encryption Desktop’ along with ‘Encryption Management Server’. To an outsider, it was confusing for one company to release two different encryption products that competed and couldn’t work with each other. With the release of Endpoint Encryption 11 largely came to an end in 2014. Since there is no easy way to upgrade from SED and SEMS to SEE, maintenance packs are still being released for the old PGP line. However, new feature development is focused only on the merged Endpoint Encryption line. The development team has released version 11.2.0 MP1, with the following list of changes:
