to provide comprehensive updates across a broad range of solutions, from antivirus to
firewall to intrusion detection at both the enterprise and consumer levels to ensure
protection at all tiers.
experience: the ultimate security
To meet and exceed our customers’ expectations as security demands grow, we are
continuously fine-tuning our team of security experts to be the best in the industry. In
2001, we began to establish a network of business and channel partners to help aug-
ment and deliver Symantec’s expertise, technologies and services. These partnerships
are creating synergies that enhance our customers’ security—now, and in the long term.
strength through alliances Our partners include some of the world’s top strategic soft-
ware and hardware companies, including CacheFlow, EMC, IBM, Inktomi and Network
Appliance. Together, we’re creating interoperable and integrated solutions that secure
information passing through all elements of the IT infrastructure, including storage
servers, web security and acceleration appliances, caching applications and databases.
Working with systems management players, we’re improving the implementation of
security management across the enterprise.
In addition, under agreements with nine of the top ten PC brands, including Dell,
HP, Compaq, MicronPC and Toshiba, Symantec will ship security solutions on an esti-
mated 35 million desktop and/or laptop computers worldwide in 2002 alone. Our
security presence is available on approximately 65% of all desktop and portable sys-
tems shipped to the home and small office segments.
We continue to expand our relationship with key platform partners, including
Microsoft Corporation. Symantec was a partner in the launch of Windows XP. Our con-
sumer security solutions were among the first to earn the “Designed for Windows XP”
logo certification from Microsoft after passing a rigorous set of requirements. We also
work closely with Microsoft on its security initiatives and Microsoft .NET technologies.
To ensure the broadest delivery of our security solutions, Symantec teams with
service providers, large systems integrators and top consulting firms. We provide vary-
ing levels of antivirus protection for millions of computer users through Internet service
providers and other infrastructure providers around the world, including Yahoo!; Planet
Internet, the largest Internet service provider in The Netherlands; and Brightmail’s
