Symantec has inaugurated its newest global Security Response Lab at its Center of Innovation in Pune.
The company says that the Symantec Security Response Lab in India will provide comprehensive, global, multi-lingual security threat expertise to protect customers world-wide against a wide variety of security threats.
The Security Response Lab in India is part of Symantec's Global Intelligence Network, which includes researchers throughout the world collecting information about online fraud, malicious code, and security risks, analyzing these to figure out how they work, and then developing real time updates to the Symantec products that protect computers at homes and in workplaces around the world.
On this occasion, Anil Chakravarthy, Vice President of India Technical Operations at Symantec, said, "The Lab in India will further enhance Symantec's round the clock research and response capabilities to a growing variety of security threats and understanding of how these threats are converging. Comprised of security researchers encompassing all threat domains, the Security Response Lab in India will provide security updates in areas such as antifraud, antispam, antivirus, antispyware, privacy and parental control, and intrusion prevention/intrusion detection."
The Security Response Lab will address urgent security concerns by delivering early warning solutions that provide a thorough analysis of Internet security threats, evaluating how threats work together and then offering recommendations regarding protection.
The Lab will also provide rapid security protection through its incident response program, including emergency antivirus signatures, definitions, and policies, as well as outbound communications such as alerting services.
Commenting on the importance of this lab for the region, Vishal Dhupar, Managing Director of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) Region, Symantec, said, "The global Security Response Lab in India will be a major contributor in creating an environment of confidence in Indian enterprises as well as the outsourcing industry to combat the information security concerns. The Lab is in a position to track the Indian security landscape from the global perspective, and recommend measures to safeguard information abuse. This is in line with Symantec's vision of creating confidence in a connected world."
