There is one simple inescapable fact, storage devices and storage software that allow one to create simple and clear policies for what needs to be done are in demand now and will be in even greater demand in the future.

My team has been diligently working over the past few months to produce what I believe is the best endpoint security solution on the market. I would like to take the opportunity to share some of the latest results of what the team has accomplished.
Maintenance Release 3 (MR3) shipped to manufacturing just a few days ago. Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) has come a long way since the initial release. In this release, we focused on improving the overall performance of both the management server and client.
