Identify security applications running on endpoints

Before you install the Symantec DLP Agent, identify all security applications that run on your endpoints. Configure those applications to allow the Symantec DLP Agents to function fully. Some applications generate alerts when they detect the installation or initial launch of a Symantec DLP Agent. Such alerts reveal the presence of Symantec DLP Agents and they sometimes let users block the Symantec DLP Agent entirely.
