Happy New Year 2016!
What a year 2015 has been! We want to take a moment to thank you for being our valued partner—we’ve been partners with some of you for more than thirty years, and that means everything to us.
We are very excited for the start of 2016. With our singular focus on cybersecurity, we know our solutions in combination with your expertise will deliver powerful security solutions to our mutual customers, and will lead to a more secure 2016.
The worldwide cybersecurity market continues it’s fast growth at almost 12% in 2016 (estimated to reach $30b worldwide). It will take strong partnerships and market leadership to capitalize on this growth. Only Symantec has both.
At Partner Engage last October, we shared our company and go-to-market strategies with you. We showcased some our latest innovations that leverage our Global Intelligence Network (GIN)—something no other security company in the world has. Our focus in 2016 is on:
- Threat Protection with the launch of our new Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) solution that uncovers, prioritizes, and remediates, leveraging your customer’s existing installations of Symantec Endpoint Protection and Symantec Email Security.cloud
- Information Protection with the new release of Data Loss Protection (DLP) that allows our customers to take fuller advantage of their cloud with additional visibility and control.
- Cyber Security Services (CSS) with the recent release of Security Awareness and Phishing Readiness to increasingly help your customers address their growing security needs and improve their overall cyber security resiliency.
We want to invest more with you to grow your business and security practices. We have clear direction moving forward and will continue to ask for your feedback throughout 2016.
As we look back at 2015, it’s been an exciting journey. We are through the hardest part of our transformation and now are focused on flawless execution to drive mutual success and new business. With your partnership and focus, we begin the New Year with unbelievable strength.
We look forward to driving our joint business with you in 2016! Let us know how we can support you by posting any comments below.
Best regards,
John Thompson and Stephen Thomas
