The Splunk Add-on for Symantec Endpoint Protection is intended to replace TA-sep and TA-sav, currently packaged as a part of Splunk Enterprise Security. No migration activity is required, as the new add-on can run side-by-side with the older add-ons. The older add-ons are still required in order to parse stored data from unsupported versions of Symantec Antivirus and Endpoint Protection.
