Danbury Hospital Works with Symantec to Streamline Security Operations and Ensure Compliance
CUPERTINO, Calif. – Jan. 24, 2007 – Symantec Corp. (Nasdaq:SYMC) today announced that Danbury Hospital is using Symantec ManagedSecurity Services to help ensure its critical patient information issecure, facilitate compliance, and optimize the hospital’s IT budget.Using Symantec Managed Security Services for monitoring and managingits security network, Danbury Hospital has dramatically reduced thenumber of threats to its network and eliminated the need to hirearound-the-clock, in-house security experts.
Danbury Hospital, a regional medical center serving residents ofConnecticut and New York, is ranked among the nation’s Top 100Hospitals . Danbury’s most critical IT issues are information securityand ensuring compliance with the Health Insurance Portability andAccountability Act (HIPAA), which governs the protection andavailability of patient medical records.
“For a hospital like Danbury, security is a 24/7 job,” says SusanFronapfel, manager of information technology and security, DanburyHospital. “We must strike a balance between providing patients andhealthcare providers with access to information, while ensuring thatsensitive patient data is kept secure and private at all times.”
Previously, Danbury’s IT staff spent up to four hours each dayreviewing threat logs and identifying potentially serious threats thatcould affect the hospital. With Symantec Managed Security Services,Danbury now receives immediate notification of any threats that arecritical enough to merit action, while automatically filtering out theirrelevant or harmless threats. As a result, the hospital now evaluatesan average of two threats each month rather than 30.
“Symantec Managed Security Services is increasing our knowledgetremendously and improving my team’s productivity,” states Fronapfel.“Instead of hours, it now only takes a few minutes to review pertinentdata.”
Symantec provides Danbury with a global view of the threat landscapeand also pinpoints security threats that are specific to the healthcareindustry. Danbury now monitors its security posture using the SymantecSecure Internet Interface and has reduced the time spent on monitoringthreats to less than 30 minutes each day. This allows Danbury’s ITstaff to devote its time to high-value projects aligned with thehospital’s core mission of using IT to improve patient care.
“More time for our IT staff means that we can focus on other areas,such as the e-mail system and online billing, to improve hospitaloperations,” adds Fronapfel. “It also means more time to focus ondelivering better care to our patients.”
Information Security Enables HIPAA Compliance
Symantec Managed Security Services has helped Danbury meet criticalrequirements for HIPAA compliance. By providing Danbury with moreeffective threat information, Symantec Managed Security Services hassignificantly decreased the number of critical threats over the pasttwo years.
“Symantec Managed Security Services consolidated the existing rule baseof our multiple firewalls and fine-tuned the rules for tightercontrol,” says Brenda Plaag, chief privacy officer, Danbury Hospital.“We now have solid statistical evidence demonstrating the differencebetween our security coverage before and after Symantec’s intervention.Symantec has also allowed us to pinpoint actual dangers and strengthenour security environment, which reinforces our commitment to complyingwith HIPAA regulations.”

CUPERTINO, Calif. – Jan. 29, 2007 – Symantec Corp. (NASDAQ:SYMC) today announced Symantec Enterprise Vault 7.0, the market-leadingintelligent content archival solution that stores e-mail andcollaborative content cost-effectively, manages it according toretention and compliance requirements, and discovers it to supporte-discovery and knowledge management. “The massive growth in electroniccontent has become a financial and legal challenge for allorganizations,” said Francis deSouza, vice president of the InformationFoundation Group, Symantec Corp. “Managing more than 8 millionmailboxes for nearly 5,000 customers worldwide, Symantec EnterpriseVault reduces IT and legal costs and information risk, while scaling tohundreds of thousands of users and billions of archived objects.”
According to analyst firm Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG),organizations will archive 7,000 petabytes of e-mail over the next fouryears, significantly challenging IT to manage and secure these vitalcorporate assets. In addition, ESG states that approximately 77 percentof companies responding to electronic discovery requests have had toproduce e-mail.

Because not all information is created equal, organizations need tomanage and retain it based on its value. In fact, a recent survey byESG cited 63 percent of organizations require the ability to setdifferent retention policies based on content or source. While certaincontent needs to be maintained for years, such as orders and contracts,other data such as personal e-mail and newsletters can be eliminatedmore quickly. Effective information management requires classificationof data into relevant categories and enforcement of policies for thosecategories. Symantec Enterprise Vault 7.0 offers new intelligentclassification capabilities, which allow for preservation anddisposition of content based on its business value, including:

• Automated Classification Engine – Reduces archivesize and search times by categorizing and retaining e-mail based on 50pre-defined or an unlimited nubmer of customizable rules types.

• FirstArchive to Support Microsoft Windows Rights Management Services (RMS) –Ensures security and discoverability by indexing and searching RMSencrypted content.
• First Archive to Natively Capture MicrosoftLive Communication Server – Archives all corporate IM traffic withoutrouting through Exchange, reducing server load and risk of data loss.

CUPERTINO, Calif. – Jan. 30, 2007– Symantec Corp. (NASDAQ: SYMC) today unveiled Veritas Backup Reporter6.0, an enterprise backup reporting tool that provides ITadministrators with comprehensive visibility into backup and recoveryoperations.
Backup Reporter enables IT administrators to enhance backup andrecovery operations, verify backup service level compliance, and runbackup as a shared IT service. These capabilities are a valuable assetfor managed service providers or organizations that need to analyze andjustify backup expenditures. Backup Reporter enables comprehensive datamanagement, backup consolidation, and reporting of heterogeneousenvironments which support Symantec’s Veritas NetBackup™ and BackupExec™ products, in addition to third-party backup solutions.
Enhancing Backup and Recovery Operations
Exploding data volumes and heterogeneous environments make it difficultfor IT administrators to gain essential visibility to accurately reporton backup and recovery. Backup Reporter’s centralized reporting view ofsingle or multiple backup applications help customers to optimize theirenvironment by aggregating historical data to better forecast trendsand help justify the need for critical capital expenditures such astape drives or additional backup servers and backup media.
Backup Reporter flexibly adapts backup and recovery operations to theneeds of the business. To address the variety of key stakeholderswithin an organization, from CIO to backup administrator, BackupReporter allows users to customize the definition of backup successbased on the audience need. Furthermore, IT administrators can beproactive in assessing backup operations as all views are hierarchicalwith drill-down capabilities. To jumpstart the reporting process, ITadministrators can select any of the hundreds of out-of-the-box reportsavailable, or can use the report wizard to create a customized report.
Empowering IT to Verify Backup Service Level Compliance
IT administrators are forced to comply with not only internal ServiceLevel Agreements (SLAs), but also, with external governmentregulations. Backup Reporter puts backup administrators in the driver’sseat and allows them to be proactive about managing compliance withgoverning policies. It provides them with the ability to “prove” thatcritical data is backed up and business-critical clients andapplications are recoverable within their established corporate orindustry backup and retention policies.
Backup Reporter also eliminates the time consuming manual process ofcreating ad-hoc reporting spreadsheets. Reports can be scheduled anddistributed via email, thereby automating a process that can otherwisebe prone to error.
“Today’s enterprises face a growing number of challenges in trying tocomply with regulatory requirements and management requests,particularly when it comes to trying to achieve a single, centralizedview of their backup and recovery operations across multiple, disparatebackup applications and ensuring that they have a standardized andrepeatable reporting process in place,” said Laura Dubois, researchdirector, IDC. “Backup Reporter is a timely solution to this growingneed that helps take the guess work out of trying to comply withregulatory and management requirements.”
Running Backup and Recovery Operations as a Shared IT Service
Backup operations typically operate as a cost center and are separatefrom the rest of the organization without means to relate the actualcosts of running backup and recovery operations to executivemanagement. Backup Reporter transforms this process by providing amechanism for IT administrators to achieve cost analysis, departmentalvisibility, and chargeback. Values for backup and recovery operationscan be formulated, assigned, and appropriated to specific businessunits or customers. This helps IT administrators to proactively showwhat backup resources are being consumed and assigns a value to backupoperations that is based on the requirements of the business. Reportscan be filtered by custom parameters that can be designated to meet thecompany’s needs. For example, backup utilization can be presented in avariety of parameters such as geography, application, business unit,platform, location, and service tier.
The ability of Backup Reporter to run backup and recovery operations asa business also make this product ideal for managed service providersas it easily identifies resource consumption across diverse customerenvironments and provides usage data which can be directly used forcustomer billing.
Symantec’s Unique Value Proposition
Together, Backup Reporter and NetBackup deliver a comprehensive datamanagement and reporting solution. This powerful combination providesreal-time operational management with core NetBackup (via NetBackupOperations Manager) for day-to-day IT tasks and advanced backupreporting with Backup Reporter for managing backup service levels andcompliance. For customers with multiple NetBackup environments, BackupReporter can aggregate reporting into one centralized view using commonNetBackup icons.
Unlike other reporting products, Backup Reporter is differentiated byits open schema giving IT administrators access to all the valuableinformation captured in the database. Backup Reporter enables data tobe seamlessly exported and tailored with custom applications such asfinancial business systems. Data is made consistent or “normalized”across different backup applications so trending and detailed analysisof heterogeneous environments is dramatically simplified.
“Backup Reporter provides enterprises with superior reporting thatdelivers premier service-level management that today’s enterpriseenvironments demand,” said Matt Kixmoeller, senior director, productmanagement, Symantec. “Backup Reporter empowers IT administrators to beproactive about understanding, measuring and proving backupservice-level compliance.”
