structure to match our new operating structure. The three reporting segments, which are the same as our
operating segments, are: Consumer Security, Enterprise Security, and Information Management.
Consumer Security
Our Consumer Security segment focuses on making it simple for customers to be productive and protected
at home and at work. Our Norton-branded services provide multi-layer security and identity protection on major
desktop and mobile operating systems, to defend against increasingly complex online threats to individuals,
families, and small businesses.
Our Norton products help customers protect against increasingly complex threats and address the need for
identity protection, while also managing the rapid increase in mobile and digital data, such as personal financial
records, photos, music, and videos.
Enterprise Security
Our Enterprise Security segment protects organizations so they can securely conduct business while
leveraging new platforms and data. These products include Secure Socket Layer (“SSL”) Certificates,
authentication, mail and web security, data center security, data loss prevention, information security services,
endpoint security and management, encryption, and mobile security offerings.
These products and services help our customers secure their confidential information wherever it resides in
the network path, from the user’s device to the data’s resting place. In doing so, these products protect customer
data from sophisticated threats such as advanced protection threats, malicious spam and phishing attacks,
malware, drive-by website infections, hackers, and cyber criminals. In addition, these products help to prevent
the loss of confidential data by insiders, and help customers achieve compliance with laws and regulations. Our
enterprise endpoint security and management offerings support the evolving endpoint, providing advanced threat
protection while helping reduce cost and complexity. These solutions are delivered through various methods,
such as software, appliance, SaaS, and managed services.
Information Management
Our Information Management segment focuses on backup and recovery, archiving and eDiscovery, storage
and high availability solutions, helping to ensure that our customers’ IT infrastructure and mission-critical
applications are protected, managed and available.
Our products enable customers to reduce cost and complexity as we improve the way information is
managed through the ever-evolving cloud and virtualized environments. Our products are designed to ensure
successful backup, recovery, availability, eDiscovery and archiving of information, applications, and systems for
organizations ranging from small businesses to large enterprises.
