Symantec DeepSight Alert Services
delivers personalized vulnerability and malicious code alerts to inform
organizations of new potential threats. The service delivers
notification of vulnerabilities and exploits as they are identified,
providing timely, actionable information and guidance to help mitigate
risks before they are exploited. Symantec analysts monitor potential
threats 24x7 across more than 18,000 distinct product versions and
information from more than 150 authoritative sources. A detailed
analysis is provided in each alert and update, describing threat
severity, potential impact, technical structure, systems that might be
affected, available patches or workarounds, and comprehensive mitigation
strategies.
Advanced customization capabilities allow organizations to receive only
those alerts relevant to their specific environment. Alerts, status
tracking, and reporting are available through a secure Web site.
Alerting messages are dispatched by email, voice, fax, or SMS. Content
is structured for integration into current security operations. The
optional XML format ensures simple and efficient information reuse
within an organization's IT support and Help Desk operations. By
eliminating hours spent searching through Web sites and emails to gather
information, distributing it, and then following up on the results, the
service enables a proactive approach to ensuring a secure environment
while saving time and money.
