Symantec’s security management system will give information security profession-
als and IT executives a total view of their security infrastructure. It will provide a com-
prehensive response plan for managing outbreaks by prioritizing threats and offering
response techniques. Through event management consolidation and incident manage-
ment workflow, it will be able to reduce to essentials the amount of data reported to
the administrator, allowing security outbreaks to be resolved quickly. It will sort false
positives from real threats and correlate high volumes of alert information in real time
to automate the detection and analysis of security incidents.
Symantec’s security management system will collect data from a variety of third-

infrastructure and reduce total cost of ownership.
