8. INFORMATION
Information can be literally priceless. Unlike physical
assets and infrastructure, digital data cannot simply be
replaced when it is lost or destroyed — and the emo-
tional and financial cost to individuals and corporations
can be huge. With an estimated 75% of a company’s
intellectual property residing in email and messaging sys-
tems, managers need advanced message management
tools to scan inbound and outbound traffic, accurately
categorize the content according to established policies,
and retrieve it — all in a single integrated solution.

TAKE CONTROL
Protection isn’t static. It’s a proactive
discipline that constantly adjusts to
changing threat environments, new and
updated policies, and the evolving state
of your infrastructure, information, and
interactions. Symantec solutions are
designed to provide this kind of proactive
control of your security and data man-
agement. From our consumer Internet
security suite to our integrated security
appliances for small- and medium-sized
businesses to our Data Center Foundation
technology for large enterprises, we
streamline the underlying technology and
simplify the user interface so that our
customers can readily enforce the appro-
priate protection of their digital assets.
INTERACTIONS
The digital world is increasingly defined by collabora-
tion. As the Internet environment has continued to
evolve — driven by ubiquitous high-speed connections
and sophisticated network architectures — individ-
uals and corporations have embraced highly interactive
models like etailing, instant messaging, supply chain
integration, multiplayer gaming, online banking, wikis,
blogs, and more. It’s no longer enough to secure net-
work elements and data inside the firewall; today the
digital interactions themselves need to be protected
from attacks, disruptions, and misuse.
In response, Symantec is developing ways for all partici-
pants in online interactions — businesses and consumers
alike — to verify the identities of other participants. We
are partnering with financial institutions and e-commerce
companies to create stronger trusted models for online
transactions. We are also building tools for real-time pro-
tection of personal information or sensitive corporate
data while it is in transit.
As this kind of open data sharing becomes increasingly
ubiquitous, the boundaries between consumers and
providers will continue to blur and disappear, making inter-
actions the next great protection challenge. Symantec is
committed to meeting that challenge and to maintaining
user confidence in the safety of digital collaboration.
