About Smart Agents Symantec Network Security Smart Agents are translation software that enable Symantec Network Security to receive event data from external sensors, and correlate that data with all other events. Smart Agents expand the security umbrella and enhance the threat detection value of existing security assets by aggregating third-party intrusion events into Symantec Network Security, which leverages its correlation, analysis, and response functionality. Symantec Network Security contains an internal Smart Agent configuration to integrate Symantec Decoy Server events. To integrate events from any other external sensor, you must install an external Smart Agent designed for that sensor, and add a Smart Agent object to the topology tree to represent it.
