Built on Industry-leading Security and Archiving Solutions, New Integrated Suite Prevents Data Loss and Reduces E-Discovery Costs
AUSTRALIA, Sydney – 6 February 2007 – Symantec Corp. (NASDAQ: SYMC) today announced Symantec Information Foundation 2007, a new, integrated information security and archiving suite that provides a common framework for consistently enforcing content control policies across the enterprise, from e-mail gateway security to archiving. With Symantec Information Foundation, IT professionals can help proactively prevent the risk of data loss and policy violations, while rapidly and cost-effectively responding to electronic discovery (E-Discovery) requests.
In addition, Symantec also announced today the availability of the beta version of Symantec Information Foundation Mail Security 6.0 for Exchange, a key solution in the Symantec Information Foundation suite. Scheduled to be generally available in March, the solution will provide market-leading technologies to reduce risks to information flowing internally as well as in and out of the enterprise via Microsoft Exchange servers, including Microsoft Exchange 2007.
"All systems that are used to exchange and store information within an organisation are vulnerable to an increasing range of security, compliance, and legal risks," said Francis deSouza, vice president of the Information Foundation Group, Symantec Corp. "Symantec Information Foundation helps organisations protect themselves against theses risks across the wide range of e-mail, instant messaging, Web communications, file sharing, and other information systems within the enterprise."
Specifically, Symantec Information Foundation offers the following differentiating capabilities:
· Consistent content controls with automatic classification and policy enforcement for effective risk management – As information flows across the network gateway, internal servers, and enterprise archive, Symantec Information Foundation consistently captures, scans, and classifies content based on risk and business value.· Integrated incident management and remediation for ensuring risk management compliance – As policy violations such as confidential information loss, customer data disclosure, and regulatory compliance breaches are detected, incidents are automatically created and escalated for review and action.· Centralised archiving, audit, and discovery
– As policy violations such as confidential information loss, customer data disclosure, and regulatory compliance breaches are detected, incidents are automatically created and escalated for review and action.· Centralised archiving, audit, and discovery – Data flagged as suspicious or violating policy can be proactively retained as evidence for future discovery and investigation."Disjointed, piece-part compliance solutions offer little extensibility and suffer from high administrative overhead," according to Christian Christiansen, IDC VP of Security Product and Services. "With Information Foundation, Symantec offers a compliance infrastructure that can handle future regulatory and internal compliance demands. Its integration provides the capability to reduce IT workloads, simplify policy administration, and improve audit execution."
Built on Symantec’s market-leading antivirus, anti-spam, content filtering, archiving, retention, E-Discovery, and policy management technologies, Symantec Information Foundation provides integrated protection for information contained in enterprise e-mail, instant messaging, Web communications, portals, file sharing, and other enterprise information systems. In addition, Symantec Information Foundation simplifies administration by consolidating a single platform from a single vendor, which enables IT organisations to reduce their ongoing management and maintenance costs while effectively managing risk through a common policy framework.
Symantec Information Foundation includes the following market-leading technologies: Symantec Enterprise Vault, Symantec Enterprise Vault Discovery Accelerator, Symantec Enterprise Vault Compliance Accelerator, Symantec Mail Security 8300 Series, Symantec IM Manager, Symantec Information Foundation Mail Security for Exchange, Symantec Mail Security for Domino, and Symantec Web Security for Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration Server (ISA).
