Symantec, the global leader in information security, has announced that Symantec Managed Security Services now includes Symantec Vulnerability Data Correlation Service. This new enhancement helps organisations more efficiently manage security risk by correlating vulnerability data with attacks, to meet regulatory compliance requirements, and keep business and up and running. "Two of the greatest challenges facing companies today are understanding the context of network attacks, and being able to take proactive measures to mitigate risk from those attacks" said Grant Geyer, vice president, Symantec Managed Security Services. "By correlating customer supplied vulnerability data with real-time security monitoring data, Symantec security analysts can identify vulnerable networks immediately. With this information, customers can protect their systems before an attack is launched, and help ensure a resilient infrastructure."
