Symantec Enterprise Cloud, now under Broadcom, provides enterprise security portfolios for endpoint security, identity security, privileged access management, data security (DLP, encryption), API security, and XDR.
Vendor Focus
Symantec/Broadcom should currently be structured according to Broadcom’s cybersecurity areas: Endpoint Security, Identity Security, Privileged Access Management, Data Security (Data Loss Prevention, Encryption), API Security, and XDR. This is an enterprise portfolio for large environments, not a startup point product.
Symantec naturally ties into Endpoint Security, Identity Security, Data Security, API Security, and XDR/threat detection topics.
Solutions and Products
- Symantec Endpoint Security
Enterprise endpoint protection including prevention, detection, attack surface reduction, and protection of both traditional and mobile endpoints. - Symantec Privileged Access Management
Management of privileged access to servers, applications, and sensitive systems with session control, approvals, auditing, and reduced risk of standing administrative rights. - Symantec Data Loss Prevention
DLP for discovering, classifying, and protecting sensitive data across endpoints, network, email, and data repositories. - Symantec Email Security
Email protection against spam, phishing, malware, and advanced threats. - Layer7 API Management
Management and protection of APIs across the full lifecycle – publishing, authentication, authorization, rate limiting, monitoring, and analytics. Suited for organizations with API-first architecture, microservices, or connecting internal and external applications. - Carbon Black XDR (CBX)
XDR platform connecting telemetry from endpoints, DLP, email security, and identity security into a single ecosystem for detection, correlation, and response to security incidents. - Carbon Black
Endpoint protection based on behavioral analysis, EDR, threat hunting, and protection of servers and cloud workloads. - Identity Security Platform
Identity and access management built on SiteMinder, VIP, and Identity Governance & Administration (IGA). Includes Single Sign-On, MFA, identity federation, user lifecycle management, and adaptive authentication. - Symantec Encryption
Encryption of disks, files, and email communication. Combined with DLP, it enables automated encryption of sensitive data according to defined security policies.
Typical Use Cases
- a large enterprise needs centralized endpoint and data protection
- sensitive data must be protected with DLP across email, cloud, network, and endpoints
- an organization needs identity management, privileged access, or API protection within the Broadcom/Symantec ecosystem
- a security team needs XDR visibility across endpoints, identity, and data for faster detection and response to incidents
