It was appropriate for Symantec to focus on data security the day before GDPR took effect.

Symantec claims it can protect this potpourri of systems with a bright yellow security blanket. Yes, these systems are still highly targeted, but Symantec believes enterprise customers need similar protection on mobile devices (iOS, Android), cloud-based workloads, IoT devices, etc. Symantec rightly points out that the world has moved well beyond Windows PCs and servers, while many competitors have not. Symantec then reminded the analyst community about its well-established real estate in each area. In Symantec’s view, this equates to four central termination points: Endpoints (of all kinds), network proxies, email, and cloud-based applications. In this scenario, Symantec believes that security oversight must migrate to termination points.

It’s focus on termination points… Symantec talked about a "dark" internet where nearly all traffic is encrypted.

To further promote ICDx across the industry, Symantec crowed about its technology integration partners program (TIPP) and a laundry list of other cybersec vendors already signed up. ICDx is also an open architecture (similar to ESG’s SOAPA), based upon open standards and APIs, and Symantec is even working to champion open cybersecurity software architectural with OpenC2, a standards effort led by OASIS. Furthermore, ICDx provides publish/subscribe middleware and message bus services to support heterogeneous cybersecurity tools. Symantec touts that ICDx is a single point of integration for security telemetry, threat intelligence, and data management. It started with basic point-to-point integration but has since evolved into the creation of an end-to-end architecture, integrated cyber defense (ICDx). Since the Blue Coat marriage, Symantec has been quite busy gluing its products together.

Its integrated cyber defense platform.

Yesterday, Symantec renewed its analyst outreach, however, with a new-look analyst event here in Boston.

Like the swallows coming back to Capistrano, I made an annual pilgrimage to Las Vegas, parked myself at the MGM or Venetian, and spent a few days catching up on the latest Symantec buzz.Īlas, when Symantec divested Veritas and acquired Blue Coat, Symantec Vision was put on sabbatical for a few years. When Symantec and Veritas joined forces, Symantec Vision (its customer and analyst event) was a regular spring ritual.
