Hello and welcome to View From The Bunker

Well it has finally happened, I have been persuaded to write a blog. At Symantec I am responsible for Technical Strategy for the Security and Compliance products. Since the merger of Symantec and Veritas (I came from the Veritas side of the house)  it has become increasingly apparent that security and availability are inextricably linked. I had just written the Utility Computing strategy for Veritas and we needed a strong security story – so the Symantec merger was ideal.

Two years plus into the merger and several more acquisitions along the way, coupled with the various high profile data losses ensures that we live in interesting times. Progress on all fronts (threats & security, governance, compliance and availabilty) is rapid and that’s what makes life at work interesting for me. So, without more ramblings, its time to make a start – and I leave you with the following thought.

You cannot have ‘good’ data if you cannot guarantee its security and its availability. One without the other makes no sense.
