The NTP firewall can be set into passthrough mode either by disabling/withdrawing the client's Firewall policy, or by disabling the component in the local SEP client interface. It places them in a passthrough mode where network traffic is still passed through the drivers, but is not evaluated against any rules or definitions. Note: Disabling these features does not stop the associated drivers. It may be necessary to disable each of these technologies when troubleshooting network related issues on computers protected by SEP. See which added security option is best for you─2FA by text or call or 2FA by VIP Access-and how to start today.Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) clients use two different technologies to protect computers from network attacks/exploit attempts: the Network Threat Protection firewall and the Client Intrusion Detection System (CIDS) engine. We continuously look to improve the customer experience while also ensuring the security of client data. This next-level security layer reduces identity and fraud risks by making it harder for cyber criminals to get access to accounts and personal information. The safety of our customers' personal information is a top priority at Fidelity, and with an increase in the risk of password and identity thefts through tactics such as phishing, 2FA is critical as we continue to protect client data. You can choose to receive your security code through one of two ways: by text or voice call to your mobile phone (or an alternate phone number).

If you're enrolled in Symantec ® VIP (SVIP) Access, you'll receive your challenge through SVIP if not, you’ll receive a randomized 6-digit security code each time you attempt to log in. With 2-factor authentication, an extra layer of security is added to your account to prevent someone from logging in, even if they have your password.
