Following the recent acquisitions of PGP, GuardianEdge and VeriSign, Symantec has prioritized customer, partner, and media communication, especially around our integration plans for encryption and authentication as well as its vision for the future of data protection. Symantec has been conveying the message that these acquisitions will be immediately integrated into its enterprise security portfolio helping enable our customers to further manage and secure sensitive data as part of an information-centric security vision.  As a result, Symantec has organized a roadshow through the United States, Europe and Asia to communicate these key messages.

Symantec kicked off its Data Protection Tour in the heart of Silicon Valley, Palo Alto, on Sept. 9, 2010. During a half-day of briefings, Symantec outlined its strategic vision for data protection and identity as well as explained how integrated encryption and authentication offerings will fit with the new advances in Symantec Data Loss Prevention.
