Technology Focus

Symantec is the world's leading infrastructure software company. We deliver market-leading solutions in the fast-growing Security, Storage, Systems management and Compliance domains. Together, these solutions enable our customers - consumers, small businesses and enterprises - to have full confidence in a connected world.

Security

Symantec is the world leader in security products and services, for enterprises as well as for consumers. The security landscape is growing ever more complex, as hackers change their focus from online vandalism to organized financial crimes. At the same time, the "attack surface" has increased due to the explosion in platforms, devices, software applications and Internet connectivity.

Symantec provides security solutions for information, interactions and infrastructure. This is done through products that are deployed across the entire infrastructure (desktops, laptops, servers, mobile devices, gateways, applications and so on). Some of our well-known products are the ubiquitous Norton line (Norton Internet Security, Norton 360, Norton Confidential Online), Symantec Client Security, Symantec Mail Security, Enterprise Security Manager and so on.

Symantec is leading the industry with "Security 2.0," the company's vision for delivering end-to-end security for consumers and rebuilding confidence online. With Security 2.0, Symantec is focused on securing sensitive online consumer interactions, such as financial transactions and instant messaging, as well as increasingly malicious threats and crime ware.

Storage and Systems Management

Enterprises have seen a tremendous increase in the cost and complexity of their storage, servers and systems infrastructure. Even as they are faced with a bewildering variety of operating systems, hardware platforms, and applications, they are expected to maintain the highest standards of efficiency, reliability, availability and performance across their entire infrastructure.

Symantec offers products for backup and recovery of data and systems, optimizing storage resource utilization, simplifying administration of heterogeneous environments, and providing continuous availability of mission-critical applications and data. Our Storage solutions are designed to protect, backup, archive, and restore data across a broad range of computing environments - from large corporate data centers to remote groups and desktop & laptop computers. The products integrate to provide solutions to manage data throughout its lifecycle - from creation to disposal, onsite and offsite, across all levels of storage hierarchy - including disk, tape, and optical storage media.

Some of the Symantec products in this space are Veritas Storage Foundation, Veritas Server Foundation, Veritas Cluster Server, NetBackup, Enterprise Vault, BackupExec, Altiris, pcAnywhere, Ghost and others.

Compliance

Enterprises - large and small, often have many regulations with which they must demonstrate compliance - rules and regulations set by government authorities, industry bodies, financial regulators, IT auditors and the like. Enterprise IT administrators need to design and implement a framework of policies to ensure and report that they are in compliance with all their regulatory requirements.

Symantec's compliance solutions enable customers to proactively enforce policy and regulatory compliance, locate vulnerabilities, manage identity administration and, monitor system configurations and patches.

Some of our compliance products include Control Compliance Suite, Enterprise Security Manager, Altiris, and so on.
