Symantec Selects Amazon Web Services to Deliver Cloud Security to Global Customers
Today, Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), an Amazon.com (News - Alert) company (NASDAQ:
AMZN), announced that Symantec has chosen AWS as its strategic
infrastructure provider for the vast majority of its cloud workloads,
leveraging AWS's infrastructure scale and maturity to deliver cloud
security to its global customers. With AWS's breadth and depth of cloud
capabilities, Symantec (News - Alert) has transformed legacy applications into
cloud-based solutions, and built innovative, cloud-native as well as
hybrid offerings.
Symantec's relationship with AWS is long-term and bi-directional, with
Symantec not only making a major operational move to AWS, but also
tapping the global footprint of the AWS Marketplace to deliver its
security services. The company built a data lake on AWS that collects
tens of terabytes of data every day from 175 million endpoints and more
than 57 million attack sensors. Symantec chose AWS for its scale and
comprehensive cloud capabilities, including data services, analytics,
machine learning, and container management. Innovating on AWS has
allowed Symantec to deliver new security software and tools to customers
faster, while adhering to strict data protection requirements.
"Our cloud-first approach to engineering requires a highly scalable and
reliable infrastructure that helps our team deliver faster
time-to-market and ensure that security remains our top priority," said
Raj Patel, Vice President, Cloud Platform Engineering at Symantec.
"Symantec is committed to protecting the cloud generation through our
leading security products, as well as leveraging the cloud to deliver
our ervices. AWS's experience serving some of the most risk-sensitive
enterprise customers was an important part of the decision to choose AWS
as we execute on our enterprise Integrated Cyber Defense strategy."
"Leading ISVs worldwide are moving core business applications to AWS for
greater agility and efficiency, reduce costs, and to leverage the
security, reliability, and global infrastructure we offer," said Mike
Clayville, Vice President, Worldwide Commercial Sales at AWS. "By taking
advantage of the benefits of deploying their software on AWS, Symantec
has been able to accelerate its pace of innovation, gain deeper insights
through their companywide data lake, and use that knowledge to make
better informed business decisions. We look forward to working with
Symantec to deliver world-class security to global customers."
