including investment, integration, institutionalization and
impact.

security, availability and integrity of our customers’ information
– requires a culture of global responsibility,” said Cecily Joseph,
vice president of corporate responsibility at Symantec. “We’ve long
been committed to using our time, skills and other resources to
improve the quality of life in our local communities, and we are
incredibly proud to see our efforts recognized by Points of
