V3.co.uk reports that Symantec has launched four systems aimed at helping companies protect four weak points in the enterprise: poorly enforced IT policies, ill-protected information, badly managed systems and poorly protected infrastructure.

Control Compliance Suite version 10.0 will aid firms in developing and enforcing IT policies. The article also explains:

Data Loss Prevention Suite 10.5, meanwhile, has been designed to prevent data loss through social media sites or from private clouds, and the Altiris IT Management Suite 7.0 is a client, server and asset management tool that can help during operating system migrations, for example.

The company also released details about three Protection Suites that are due out this summer.


A recent report by Symantec found that 100 percent of the 2,100 businesses surveyed had experienced cyber losses of some type in the past year.
