DATA LOSS PROTECTION (DLP)

Keeping sensitive corporate information safe and compliant has never been easy. But today, you’re faced with a totally new set of data protection challenges. Sensitive information is leaving the safety of your corporate network as more employees share files over consumer cloud storage services and access those files on their own mobile devices. The number of targeted cyber-attacks continues to grow, as cybercriminals develop effective new methods for defeating traditional security measures and stealing corporate information. And as all of these factors converge, it becomes increasingly difficult to manage agency information and protect it against loss and theft. So how do you manage and protect your information in this challenging environment? And what does a complete, successful data protection strategy look like in the face of eroding security perimeters, increasing targeted attacks, and evolving user habits and expectations? Symantec Data Loss Prevention (DLP) answers these questions with a comprehensive approach to information protection that embraces today’s cloud- and mobile-centered realities. Key benefits of DLP:

• Discover where data is stored across all of your cloud, mobile, network, endpoint, and storage systems
• Monitor how data is being used, whether your employees are on or off the network
• Protect data from being leaked or stolen—no matter where it’s stored or how it’s used

DATA CENTER SECURITY

Symantec Data Center Security: Server provides the forward-looking architecture to support our customers’ journey to the Software-defined Data Center (SDDC). Server v6 addresses key challenges in providing anti-virus protection to virtual machines by deploying single-instance threat protection that is immediately adaptive to elasticity and motion, as well as security events. These capabilities are the foundation for Symantec's Data Center Security solutions for virtual environments, and include:

• Virtual Machine protection via agentless threat protection services deployed as security virtual appliances (SVA),
• Security as a Service provisioning via VMware NSX Service Composer, which supports service registration and deployment across the VMware infrastructure,
• Automated service orchestration where Symantec protection and associated security policies dynamically follow server workloads across hosts, virtual networks and security groups,
• Cooperative and extensible security ecosystem workflows that are responsive to security events supported via Service Composer.

By implementing single instance anti-virus security controls from the hypervisor on behalf of every guest virtual machine, Data Center Security: Server provides more predictable resource utilization and greater consolidation rates versus managing anti-virus security in-guest, i.e. AV agent and signature files in each virtual machine. The key benefits include:

• Reduce resource impact associated with file scanning and AV definition file updates (i.e. scan and update storms),
• Reduce security-provisioning time by facilitating deployment from within the VMware vCenter^™ console,
• Increase operational effectiveness by providing a single-instance security service per host that protects all virtual machines, and integration with the security ecosystem to further automate security response.

Advanced Threat Protection

Attackers are exploiting vulnerabilities more rapidly than companies can defend against them. Today’s hackers build evasive malware to infiltrate networks and servers, and then hijack a company’s own infrastructure to infect more machines. They use stolen email accounts from one corporate victim to spear-phish the next corporate victim. And they have the resources and skill to carry out their attack campaigns over a period of months—or even years. Symantec gives you comprehensive protection to help protect against the most complex cyber threats across your endpoints, email, and data center with precision, by leveraging one of the largest civilian source security intelligence networks in the world, the Symantec Global Intelligence Network (GIN). The Symantec Global Intelligence Network is made up of more than 57.6 million attack sensors; monitors threat activity in over 157 countries and territories; and records thousands of events per second.
