Evaluation based on completeness of vision and
ability to execute
Symantec Corp. (NASDAQ: SYMC), the world’s leading cyber
security company, today announced it has been positioned by
Gartner, Inc. in the Leaders quadrant of the Q2 2019 Magic Quadrant
for Managed Security Services, Worldwide for the 15th time since
the report’s inception in 2005.
The Managed Security Services report evaluated 14 vendors based
on completeness of vision and ability to execute against 15
criteria. According to the report, “For other organizations that
have little to no security team and a lower security operations
maturity, the expectations are that the MSSP will do more than just
issue an alert and let the customer fend for itself. They need the
MSSP to take an active role in analyzing, triaging, and then
disrupting or containing the threat, i.e., they need the MSS to act
as a first-level incident responder for them.”
Symantec’s Managed Security Services (MSS) can transform an
organization’s security program through its integrated services
portfolio powered by industry-leading threat intelligence, advanced
24x7 monitoring, incident response and the unequaled human
expertise of its global cyber security network. Through Symantec’s
Integrated Cyber Defense Platform, MSS boosts threat detection and
response with an ever-evolving suite of capabilities. These include
Managed Network Forensics, Managed Cloud Defense, and the recently
added Managed Endpoint Detection and Response, which helps organizations quickly discover and
resolve threats with deep endpoint visibility and superior
detection analytics, reducing mean-time-to-remediation.
Strengthened by Symantec’s Global Intelligence Network, the world’s
largest civilian threat intelligence network, Symantec’s Cyber
Security Services equips organizations with the technology,
experience and expertise that are vital for protection, visibility,
and control of critical assets, users, and data across cloud and
on-premises environments.
“Companies around the world are challenged in maintaining a
strong security posture due to a significant skills gap, fragmented
tools, increasingly damaging cyber security threats, and the
growing complexity of modern cyber security environments.
Symantec’s Cyber Security Services provide fully-managed, 24x7x365
threat monitoring, detection, and response to fortify companies
against known and emerging threats,” said Samir Kapuria, executive
vice president and general manager, Cyber Security Services,
Symantec. “We’re honored to be positioned in Gartner’s Leaders
quadrant for the 15th time, which we feel is a testament to
Symantec’s world-class team of experts and an integrated platform
powered by the world’s leading technology, experience and the
global visibility required to give our customers an edge and keep
them a step ahead of their adversaries.”
