Organizations anticipatesecurity breaches, believe they are less effective at process controls,and demonstrate misalignment within their own internal IT organizationregarding risk perception
CUPERTINO, Calif. – Feb. 5, 2007 – Symantec Corp. (NASDAQ: SYMC)today released the Symantec IT Risk Management Report, highlightingthat 60 percent of respondents expect at least one major IT incidentper year that could halt or disrupt a critical part of the business.The Symantec IT Risk Management Report, a new report aimed at helpingexecutives and IT operational personnel understand the criticalelements involved in an effective IT risk management strategy, is basedon input from quantitative and qualitative survey research conductedover a twelve month period ending October 2006. Symantec collectedinformation from more than 500 respondents from IT managers to top ITexecutives in organizations with worldwide operations, in a widerepresentation of industry segments.
“The ING Renault F1 Team's IT infrastructure is critical to ourrelationships with customers and partners and therefore, we arecommitted to managing IT risk as part of our larger business strategy,”said Graeme Hackland, IT manager, ING Renault FI Team. "In today’senvironment, understanding our exact risk profile and how we can betterprioritize our resources to ensure an effective IT risk strategy is topof mind.”
Organizations Anticipate Security Breaches, Incidents
The Symantec IT Risk Management Report survey data indicated that amajority of respondents expect to be impacted by some type of securityor compliance incident in the next one to five years. Specifically, 66percent of respondents expect a major regulatory incident at least onceevery five years. Additionally, 58 percent of respondents expect amajor data loss caused by events such as data center outage, corruptionof data, or breach of security systems, at least once every five years.
Deployment of Process Controls Falls Behind Technology Controls
Effective IT risk management requires a strong combination of expertiseand investment in process controls and technology controls. The mosteffective IT risk management programs use defined controls that combinewell-chosen technologies and best-practice processes. The Symantec ITRisk Management Report revealed that professionals surveyed at alllevels of organizations, across industries, scale, and geographicreach, view their organizations’ capabilities with technology controlsas more effective than with process controls.
The report findings indicated that authentication, authorization, andaccess was the process control rated highest for effectiveness, with 68percent of respondents rating their organization more than 75 percenteffective. The report also underlined a specific process controlproblem in identifying, classifying and managing IT assets. Only 38percent of respondents rated themselves more than 75 percent effectivein implementing asset inventory, classification and management processcontrols. These controls are of fundamental importance in building anIT risk management program which reflects the organization’spriorities. Without careful risk assessment, all assets are likely tobe treated equally, where some may be overprotected and others underprotected.
“Organizations are beginning to see the value in taking a proactive,rather than reactive approach to their IT risk management strategy,said Jon Oltsik, senior analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group.“Effective IT risk management requires organizations to assess boththeir technology and processes, as well as have clear understanding andagreement about different risks that may impact their systems, andtheir overall business.”
Misalignment Exists Within Internal IT Organizational Roles RegardingPerception of Risk The Symantec IT Risk Management Report revealed anoticeable difference in the way IT staff and IT executives view theirorganization’s IT risk exposure, particularly around perceived riskrelated to both business process and compliance risk. For example, 8percent of IT executives rate business process risk as critical totheir IT operations compared to 22 percent of IT directors, and 23percent of IT executives rate compliance risk as critical to their IToperations compared to 16 percent of IT directors.
Symantec believes that strong alignment between all areas of IT and thebusiness must exist in order for IT risk management investments to besuccessful. These differing internal IT viewpoints could even createrisk by producing poor coordination with the larger business. This mayresult in over- or under- investment in controls, leading to wastedresources and ineffective IT risk management programs. “Asorganizations are growing more and more dependent on their IT systemsto conduct business, IT risk has become a primary concern for businessleaders, and one that should be addressed as part of a larger businessrisk management strategy” said Greg Hughes, executive vice president,Symantec Global Services. “The Symantec IT Risk Management Reportoffers organizations a comprehensive view of IT risk perceived byvarious organizations worldwide.”
Holistic Approach to IT Risk Management Yielded Fewer Incidents
Data from the Symantec IT Risk Management Report identified a trendrelated to Best-in-Class organizations. In this report, Symantecdefines Best-in-Class organizations as the top 25 percent ofrespondents who rated their effectiveness in implementing 16 controlareas. These organizations experience higher levels of compliance andbusiness process risk, but lower levels of IT incidents. A detailedanalysis revealed that Best-in-Class organizations perform with higheffectiveness across a variety of controls, including process controls,creating a holistic approach. The data also indicated thatlower-performing organizations typically focus on a small number ofmore tactical technology controls rather than implementing a broadrange of control areas.
The Symantec IT Risk Management Report provides organizations with thebenchmarks and recommendations that they need to evaluate theeffectiveness of their own IT Risk Management strategy.

企业机构预期会有安全漏洞风险，认为流程控管有效性偏低证实IT部门内部对风险认知缺乏共识
北京，2007年2月9日――领先的基础架构软件供应商赛门铁克公司（Nasdaq:SYMC）今天发布《赛门铁克IT风险管理研究报告》（Symantec IT Risk ManagementReport）。报告指出，60%的受访者预期每年至少会发生一次重大IT事件，可能会使企业关键营运停止或中断。《赛门铁克IT风险管理研究报告》是一份全新的报告，调查为期12个月，至2006年10月为止，以量化与质化调查研究所得资料为基础，旨在协助IT管理高层及操作人员了解构成一套有效IT风险管理策略的要素。赛门铁克从全球、跨产业的企业机构中收集超过500份问卷资料，受访者涵盖IT经理人至IT高层管理者。

ING Renault F1车队IT经理Graeme Hackland 表示：“ING Renault F1车队的IT基础架构对我们与客户和合作伙伴的关系来说至为重要，因此我们承诺将IT风险管理纳入重大企业策略的一环。在今日的环境之中，切实了解我们的风险概况以及如何改善资源的优先级以确保一套有效的IT风险管理策略，是我们的首要任务。”

企业机构预期会有安全漏洞存在与意外事件的发生
《赛门铁克 IT风险管理研究报告》调查结果指出，多数受访者预期于最近的1至5年内将遭受某种安全或法规遵从事件的影响。其中，66%的受访者预期每5年至少会发生一次重大法规遵从事件。此外，58%的受访者预期每5年至少会发生一次重大资料流失（如由于数据中心停摆、数据毁损，或安全系统漏洞等事件而导致的数据流失）。

流程控管之推行落后技术控管
有效的IT风险管理需要将流程控管和技术控管之专业与投资做强而有力的整合。最有效的IT风险管理计划使用精选技术结合最佳实务流程的明确控管。《赛门铁克 IT风险管理研究报告》显示，这次调查所访问的专家们，无论是位于组织内的各个层级、还是横跨各产业、规模、区域，都认为其组织在技术控管上的能力较流程控管来得更为有效。

报告调查结果指出，在流程控管中，验证（authentication）、授权（authorization）及存取（access）被评为有效性最高的项目， 68%的受访者认为自己组织在验证、授权及存取上有超过75%的有效性。报告同时指出在判别、分类及管理IT资产上存有特定的流程控管问题。仅38%的受访者认为自己在施行资产盘点、分类及管理流程控管上具有超过75%的有的有效性。这些管控对于制订反映企业组织优先级的IT风险管理计划来说，是十分重要的基本原则。若缺乏谨慎的风险评估，所有资产极有可能被视为同等重要，因而造成某些资产过度保护，而有些资产反而保护不足的问题。

美国Enterprise Strategy Group高级分析师JonOltsik表示：“企业组织开始认知到采取主动而非被动管理手法对其IT风险管理策略的价值所在。”Jon Oltsik进一步指出，“有效的IT风险管理需要企业组织兼顾技术和流程两个部分，清楚地认知到会造成其系统甚至整体业务冲击的各式不同风险，且具备相同共识。”

内部 IT 组织各职务对风险认知缺乏共识
《赛门铁克 IT风险管理研究报告》显示，IT员工与IT高层管理者在看待其组织的IT风险漏洞时有显著差异，特别是与营运流程及法规遵从风险有关的风险认知。例如，有8%的IT高层管理者认为营运流程风险对IT作业是“严重风险”，而22%的IT总监视其为“严重”；另外23%的IT高层管理者认为法规遵从风险对IT作业是“严重风险”，但有16%的IT总监视其为“严重”。

赛门铁克相信，IT风险管理投资要取得成功，就要对所有IT领域及其业务之间进行有效校准。不同的内部IT观点甚至造成重要业务协调不良而产生风险。这样一来，就可能高估或低估了对控管项目所做的投资，导致资源浪费及无效的IT风险管理计划。

赛门铁克全球服务部门执行副总裁GregHughes表示：“随着企业组织在执行业务方面越来越依赖IT系统，IT风险已成为企业领导者的主要顾虑，并且应被视为重大营运风险管理策略的一环。《赛门铁克 IT 风险管理研究报告》为企业机构提供一份来自全球不同组织对IT风险的完整观点。”

全面性的风险管理方法能减少意外事件的发生

《赛门铁克 IT风险管理研究报告》资料指出一项与标竿企业相关的趋势。报告中，赛门铁克将标竿企业定义为在16种实际施行控管领域的效度中，排名前25%的受访者。这些标竿企业虽遭遇较高程度的法规遵从及营运流程风险，但发生IT意外事件的频率较低。一份详细的分析显示标竿企业于不同的控件（包括流程控制）间具有高效率的表现，其产生之管理方法较具全面性。此数据亦指出绩效较低的组织通常着重于一小部份较具技术性的控制，而非施行大范围的控制领域。

《赛门铁克 IT 风险管理研究报告》提供企业组织所需要评估企业内部之IT风险管理策略有效性的指标与建议。

Initiatives Aimed at Enhancing Partner Experience; Streamlining Partner Engagement Processes
CUPERTINO, Calif. – February 12, 2007 – Symantec Corp. (Nasdaq:SYMC) today announced three new initiatives aimed at enhancing theexperience that partners have with Symantec: a new Technical Specialistand Assessments Program, a Unified Technical Support Program, and athree-fold investment in its partner infrastructure. The goal of thesenew initiatives is to help make it easier for Symantec’s partners toengage with Symantec as well as be more successful in servicing theircustomers.
Self-paced Training and Accreditation
Designed to help differentiate partner services and ensure partnercredibility, Symantec’s new Technical Specialist Program will enableSymantec’s more than 60,000 global partners to accelerate theirtechnical knowledge of Symantec products via individual self-pacedproduct training modules, which assess the technical skills andknowledge required to earn accreditation. These individual productassessments help measure product-specific knowledge across coreelements, including product strategy and architecture, configurationand installation, and management and reporting.
In addition, the new Technical Specialist Program, which representsSymantec’s most efficient, cost-effective training and accreditationprocess to date, provides globally consistent technical validation onSymantec products whether partners focus on specific practice areas orchoose to follow a broad, overall solution roadmap.
All of the assessments are now available via Symantec’s online partnerportal, PartnerNet, at no cost to Symantec partners and will be updatedon a quarterly basis.
“This technical validation program is a cost effective way to ensureour product knowledge is current,” said Adam Gray, chief technologyofficer, Novacoast. “The online feature saves us time and money so thatwe can concentrate on servicing the needs of our customers. Theaccreditation is also an important delineator in the marketplace,offering another point of validation of our product-level expertise.”
“Symantec continues to invest in its partner community by providingfree, online technical assessments to our global partners,” said JulieParrish, vice president of Global Channel Office at Symantec. “This newaccreditation rounds out Symantec’s current sales and technicaltraining offerings to help our partners establish themselves ascredible experts on Symantec products with their customers.”
Unified Technical Support
In its ongoing efforts to streamline legacy systems, Symantec hasunified its technical support offerings for partners. Through UnifiedTechnical Support, Symantec partners who are eligible for partnertechnical support will now have access to 24 x 7 availability andsecurity technical support for any Symantec enterprise product.Previously, security partners only had access to business-hourtechnical support. However, with the unification, both security andavailability technical support is now available to anyone within aneligible partner’s organization.
PartnerNet Enhancements
To further enhance the experience partners have with Symantec, Symantechas also made a three-fold investment in its partner infrastructure byshifting its unified PartnerNet partner portal platform from an oldertechnology stack onto a new, more robust platform. Symantec has alsomade several enhancements to its PartnerNet portal which will now makeit easier for partners to gain access to all of the programinformation, sales training, technical enablement toolkits, and supportthey need to develop new business opportunities and take full advantageof Symantec’s partner programs.
