Customers rated Symantec highly for customer support and ease of use, with Forrester praising the solution for the ease of integration into other solutions within the Symantec portfolio, such as web security, data loss prevention, and the company’s browser isolation technology through the Symantec Integrated Cyber Defense (ICD) Platform.

Symantec Email Security processes more than 2.4 billion emails each and every day and the company has the largest civilian threat network in the world – The Symantec Global Intelligence Network – which combines telemetry from more than 175 million endpoints, 80 million proxy users, and 57 million attack sensors in 157 countries.

“In our view, Forrester highlights the critical need to protect against phishing, fraudulent email, malicious website links and data loss,” said Symantec Senior VP of Email Security, Patrick Gardner “We believe that we were recognized in large part due to our integrated technology portfolio including email isolation, email authentication, website security and DLP, combined with our threat intelligence network to help protect users’ email security across-the-board.”
