Symantec Advanced Threat Protection

Last fall, Symantec dove into the competitive advanced persistent threat market with the launch of Symantec Advanced Threat Protection, providing a way for solution providers and customers to detect, prioritize and remediate threats across email, endpoints and the network under a single-pane-of-glass console. The offering leverages existing Symantec technology, including its extensive threat intelligence network. It also incorporates cloud-based sandbox and detonation service Symantec Cynic for remediation, and cross-control point correlation tool Symantec Synapse for detection. It can also be deployed leveraging Symantec Endpoint Protection and Email Security.cloud so it can be installed without any additional agents. Symantec executives said the company is already starting to see significant traction for the ATP offering, with $100 million in deals already in the pipeline for 2017 as of May.
