Symantec Readies Genesis Software For Battle
Symantec announced Tuesday that it will offer a new “all in one” application to thwart malicious viruses, spyware and identity theft. Symantec will continue to offer Norton AntiVirus and other products for those who prefer the stand-alone options at lower price points. No word on Genesis pricing, but it will be more than Norton AntiVirus!
Genesis is Symantec’s answer to the changing security landscape. In the past, he says, unscrupulous programmers focused on releasing worms and viruses to get notoriety in the hacker community. But now, the stakes are higher, with organized groups focusing on stealing personal information, like credit card numbers, or whole identities, for financial gain. Symantec’s move from selling software to services represents a growing trend throughout the industry.
