Are these clients managed using a SEPM? Do they have a network connection? What version of SEP including updates?

You can always download teh latest definitions to a USB drive or other media and sneakernet them to the system. I know there was a discussion around a tool to do this but cannot find reference to Symantec relasing one

I believe Symantec may now require a license to download definitions for some versions

I'm passionate about coding and researching the history of technology as well as exploring where technology is leading. I have a wide variety of experience from Commercial Flight Simulation, Military Contracting, Telecommunications, as well as regularly contributing to the Open Source Software ecosystem for a number of years. I have specialized in dancing the line between Hardware (ex IO, Low-voltage signaling, telecom) and Software (ex networking, parsing, desktop dev, web dev). Author of jQuery-CSV, the first of the RFC-compliant CSV parsers for Javascript with 500K+ downloads over 5 years. Projects I've worked on: SharpPcap/Packet.Net (Contibutor) - A C# wrapper and parsing framework for winpcap/libpcap for network packet capturing. pypreprocessor (Author) - A python-only preprocessor that uses c-style preprocessor directives. jQuery-csv (Author) - A jQuery to parse CSV files to javascript code. node-ftpsync (Author) - Intelligent file syncronization over FTP grunt-ftpsync (Author) - A grunt wrapper for node-ftpsync sublime-text-seed (Author) - Cross-platform starter for Sublime Test dev angular2-snippets (Author) - Sublime text snippets for Angular 4+ angular-es6-seed (Author) - Angular 4+ starter using ES6 ng2-markdown (Author) - An Angular 4+ web component I've done everything from designing websites to parsing ARINC-424 data from binary. It doesn't really matter to me. I enjoy the challenge even if that means spending hours digging through technical specifications. Lately I've been playing with Node.js and Angular to do some interesting things. I keep coming back to Stack Overflow because it keeps reminding me of how little I know about software development. What interests me about software development is the potential for improvement as platforms continue to develop and stabilize. I thrive in environments riddled with chaos because those are the places where there is the most potential for improvement and creativity.

Updating Symantec Enpoint Protection's Proactive Threat Protection Without an Internet Connection

I occasionally come across computers that will never be connected to the internet but are still vulnerable to viruses through other sources (ex. thumb drives, software installs, etc).

What I need is a solution where I can drop the updates on the machines, or connect to them directly (via x-over cable) to download the updates locally.

Is this possible?

If it is...

How would I go about setting this up?

Is this option a viable long-term option?
