We are equipping these Global Response Centers with automatic capa-
bilities far beyond previous virus protection methods. Symantec’s Digital
Immune System™, a key component of our anti-virus products, allows a
computer network to identify potentially harmful agents and take pro-
tective measures instantly. Potential threats are automatically identified,
isolated and in most cases neutralized. If these captured threats are sus-
pect, but are too complex to be handled by an automated response, an
expert virus researcher examines them in person and provides a fix if
necessary. This combination of speed and thoroughness ensures prob-
lems are detected, diagnosed and immunized before they bring down
corporate servers and desktops. The Digital Immune System represents
the highest level of service.
Symantec is determined to remain an industry leader in providing inno-
vative services and products that protect Internet users and vulnerable
environments from cyber threats — no matter what new technologies
may bring. Our laboratories research and develop next generation virus
protection, risk management, intrusion protection and content filtering
solutions to stay well ahead of potential new threats. For example,
although there are currently no known viruses aimed at hand-held access
devices, Symantec developed the world's first anti-virus technology for
the Palm OS®platform. By leveraging our technology, we created a
smaller virus detection program that opens the door for protection of
other devices such as telephones, appliances and wireless devices.
