Symantec

Symantec likes to distinguish itself by saying it’s the world’s largest security software company, but CEO Enrique Salem says more of the company’s solutions will come on purpose-built appliances.

At the Symantec Partner Connect conference in Orlando yesterday, Salem announced that a joint venture with China-based hardware manufacturer Huawei will produce appliance-based versions of many of the company’s security protection products, such as network-based antivirus security, data loss prevention and e-mail security.
