Founded in 1982, Symantec has evolved into a global brand producing a portfolio of award winning software from home user to enterprise level.

Enterprises and consumers need to keep their infrastructures up and running 24x7. They need to be able to access information anytime and anywhere. That means that their critical systems must be up and running all the time.

Therefore, it is important that they protect the physical systems, the operating environments, and the applications - across all tiers of their infrastructure. They must protect a broad range of information types - from email to business documents to digital photos to audio and video files.

And, they must ensure that the interactions - the connections, the collaborative environments, and the movement of data while in use - are protected.

Symantec is focused on helping customers protect their infrastructures, their information, and their interactions. Headquartered in Cupertino, Calif., Symantec has operations in 40 countries.
