Symantec Announces Updates to Data Management, Protection and Endpoint Security Solutions
For smaller organizations, Symantec offers both on-premises and cloud-based solutions with Symantec Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition and Symantec Endpoint Protection.cloud, respectively, providing customers with flexibility of choice and freedom of deployment to best meet their business needs.
To identify emerging threats across local and global environments, Symantec Protection Center will offer a centralized view across the Symantec security portfolio and third-party products through three levels of integration — single sign-on, data collection and process automation.
Symantec Enterprise Vault 10 software will add new integration with Symantec’s data loss prevention and encryption technologies to archive and discover organizations’ information without compromising confidential information, in addition to allowing organizations to discover data stored in the cloud and from social networks. Symantec’s Software-as-a-Service-based Enterprise Vault.cloud will offer unlimited cloud storage for e-mail, with rapid search and access, for a flat fee per mailbox per month.
As more law firms and eDiscovery service providers are required to adopt more formal information management processes, they will be faced with increased costs associated with discovery over those that have an efficient information governance strategy and archiving solution available.
“Information streams are evolving from email to social networks and archives are moving from on-premise to the cloud, causing IT administrators to lose sleep over managing information and lawyers to debate new retention policies,” said Brian Dye, vice president of product management, Symantec. Enterprise Vault 10 is adding Data Classification Service (DCS) as a new feature that leverages Symantec’s data loss prevention technology to analyze email content and metadata to automatically classify the email. With no hardware, software, or plug-ins to install and maintain, this solution offers unlimited email storage and retention in secure enterprise-class data centers for a flat fee per mailbox per month.
