Congratulating Symantec for the award, Benoy CS, Director & Business Unit Head, Digital Transformation Practice, Frost & Sullivan said, “Enterprises are looking for ways to build a connected workplace for their employees, customers, and suppliers. Concepts like BYOD, Enterprise Mobility, and Work from Home have seen a substantial rise in India over the last few years.

Symantec understands the specific needs of these enterprises and offers endpoint security solutions that approach security from multiple angles, with functionality that makes sense for customers. Its endpoint security solution is a trusted partner for many enterprises that are challenged by the growing number of targeted security threats.”

We are proud to be backed by the world’s largest civilian threat intelligence network that helps detect and block rapidly mutating malware, new attacks and zero-day threats without negatively impacting performance.”
