Attacks targeting small and medium businesses continue to rise as 65% of all targeted attacks struck these businesses in 2015. In addition, employees today expect choices in the devices they select and the apps they use at work. Lastly, IT resources to handle on-boarding, protection, and management of these devices are increasingly constrained. This leads to headaches for IT professionals, as they must manage a heterogeneous environment while protecting their users from sophisticated targeted attacks, all with a limited set of resources.
Symantec has been working hard to address these challenges while helping customers move to a cloud-based security solution through Symantec Endpoint Protection Cloud, which is now generally available in the United States. The latest solution in our endpoint protection portfolio, Endpoint Protection Cloud is an industry-leading security as a service that is always up-to-date, easy to manage, and offers advanced protection for users anywhere.
