Products and Services

The Symantec of today In the past there was a general trend towards approaching the security of the IT landscape from a multi vendor perspective. These days, the rationale is changing, and vendors like Symantec are perfectly placed to support you with your security strategy for your entire infrastructure.

For both our corporate customers, and for those in the public sector, it should be useful to be aware of Symantec’s focus on helping firms meet increasingly stringent corporate governance and efficiency standards, which often involve meeting security and data retrieval and storage compliance targets.

Particular concerns for all our customers are issues such as data leakage or internal fraud involving corporate data, which is included as a component within Symantec’s new database security and mail security products.

Symantec also plans to integrate multiple security products such as anti-virus, firewall, network access control, and anti-spyware into a single security management product, in an effort to reduce the complexity of your security landscape and to ease security management headaches.

There are also increased arguments for selecting a single vendor for the Protection of your infrastructure. Historically IT departments selected multiple vendors to protect different components of their infrastructure; however, this often leads to vastly increased management and administration time, just to stay on top of all these disparate systems. Larger projects which could immediately add more value back to your business are also often shelved. Have a look at Symantec’s White Paper.
