Symantec Cybersecurity Solutions Assessed to Combat Ransomware and Emerging Threats for Australian Government Entities
19 Juni 2024 - 12:00AM
Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ: AVGO) today announced that Symantec Endpoint
Security, Symantec Network Protection and Symantec DLP Cloud
solutions have completed the Information Security Registered
Assessors Program (IRAP) assessment. Administered by the Australian
Cyber Security Centre (ACSC), the IRAP assessment is a
comprehensive evaluation process designed to ensure that technology
providers meet the highest security and integrity protocols in line
with the Australian government’s information security standards.
Ransomware and other cyberattacks are on the rise. In fact, the
Australian Cyber Security Centre recently issued an advisory about
the LockBit ransomware group. To reduce their risk, organizations
increasingly are seeking to implement solutions that meet tough
security industry standard requirements. IRAP evaluated the
“robustness, compliance and effectiveness” of three core Symantec
security solutions and their suitability for protecting critical
and sensitive information within the public sector. The assessment
conclusively determined that the following Symantec solutions meet
the stringent security standards required by Australian government
entities:
- Symantec Endpoint Security: Comprehensive protection for
traditional and mobile devices across the entire attack chain.
Symantec endpoint innovations include behavioral isolation, Active
Directory security, and Threat Hunter technologies to protect
endpoints against sophisticated threats and targeted attacks.
- Symantec Network Protection: A complete Security Service Edge
solution for securing all network, web, and cloud applications with
an industry-leading set of services deployed in a world-class edge
network. Built upon a cloud-native architecture with an advanced
secure web gateway and CASB controls, rich security capabilities
are extended to web, public, and private cloud applications.
- Symantec Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Cloud: A single control
point from which security teams can configure DLP policies that
secure SaaS apps, control access to web destinations, and identify
shadow IT. Symantec DLP Cloud combines industry-leading enterprise
Data Loss Prevention and Symantec CloudSOC CASB to provide deeper
visibility of user activity across thousands of cloud apps, email,
and the web, including shadow IT and continuous monitoring and
protection of sensitive data from a potential breach.
“Stealthy, persistent attacks targeting Australian government
agencies and other critical infrastructure are both costly and
extremely disruptive. With the successful IRAP assessments of
Symantec Endpoint Security, Symantec Network Protection and
Symantec DLP Cloud, security practitioners and other key
stakeholders can be assured that the most rigorous protection
standards have been met to secure their most important data and
assets,” said Rob Greer, vice president and general manager of the
Enterprise Security Group at Broadcom. “We are excited about this
achievement.”
