The certified definitions. These definitions have been through rigorous Quality Assurance QA testing and are recommended for regular use. Several times a day, Symantec Security Response compiles all new detections into a new Rapid Release virus. The purpose of the Rapid Release virus definitions is to make the newest definitions available quickly. Use Rapid Release virus definitions when a new threat may be spreading on your network or for systems responsible for perimeter defense.
Rapid Release virus definitions undergo only basic quality assurance testing. Rapid Release virus definitions are therefore riskier to use than certified definitions. Rapid Release definitions are most useful as a means of stopping fast-spreading threat outbreaks or preventing the initial incursion of an attack at the gateway.
Several times each weekday, all new detections added as Rapid Release definitions go through the complete QA process, including testing for false positives and testing for full compatibility with Symantec Endpoint Protection.
Once these definitions pass the full QA process, they are posted as Certified LiveUpdate definitions. Please note that using Rapid Release definitions regularly, on the endpoint instead of Certified definitions is not encouraged by Symantec. Under normal conditions, Symantec recommends Certified definitions for routine use on enterprise Endpoint systems.
