February 19, Sydney - Symantec Hosted Services has launched a new suite of promotional product bundles, called Safeguard bundles. These bundles are available to MessageLabsâ„¢ reseller partners in Australia and New Zealand to help solve the email, web and instant messaging (IM) security challenges facing mid-sized business customers.
