GEC NEWS WIREBT is integrating Symantec SSL Visibility Appliance that enables organisations to cost-effectively eliminate blind spots that come with the lack of insight into encrypted data traffic on networks. Symantec Cloud Service provides global coverage and ensures always-on security for user devices against malware, viruses and advanced threats.
Mike Fey, president and Chief Operating Officer, Symantec, said: “Expanding Symantec’s capabilities within BT’s portfolio will provide BT customers a comprehensive service that is needed in today’s cyber security environment.
By providing dedicated SSL visibility we can combat security threats hidden in encrypted traffic so that customers can focus on critical business priorities. And the Symantec Cloud Service makes it possible for customers to extend our robust Blue Coat web security capabilities to their mobile workforce, protecting users and information on any device and from any location.”
Mark Hughes, CEO, BT Security, said: “Monitoring network environments has become increasingly complex over the last few years, and improving visibility of encrypted traffic activity and identifying blind spots is vital for a safe and secure business. Our agreement with Symantec helps address this issue and is a new step in providing a full, comprehensive package that equips Chief Information Security Officers with the administrative tools needed to monitor their networks.”
