Symantec Completes Integration Of Verisign Authentication Services Into Symantec Protection Center
Published Jan 26, 2011

Symantec Corp has announced that it has successfully integrated three key VeriSign Authentication Services into Symantec Protection Center (SPC) within five months of the acquisition of VeriSign’s identity and authentication business.
With these integrations, customers will be able to manage their VeriSign® Managed PKI, VeriSign® Managed PKI for SSL, and VeriSign® Identity Protection (VIP) Authentication Service deployments from a centralized management console.
This integration continues Symantec’s focus on improving the security posture and providing visibility for organizations with complex IT environments. Symantec Protection Center’s central management console provides access to local data and global threat intelligence, allowing organizations to stay ahead of security threats while maximizing their existing IT investments.
Enterprises need a cohesive view into the state of their security to defend themselves against increasingly sophisticated attacks,” said Johnny Karam, Regional Director ,Symantec. “Integrating market leading authentication solutions acquired from VeriSign in August with the Symantec Protection Center will provide our customers with a complete view into their state of security, allowing them to identify their highest areas of risk and shorten the window of exposure.
Increasingly corporate and consumer customers want assurances that information, transactions, and interactions are from legitimate sources. Certificates can provide that higher level of assurance and trust for both the sender and receiver. The problem, however, has been managing the certificates' issuance, revocation, and cross certification for clients and servers.
With the rapid integration of VeriSign Authentication Services into the Symantec Protection Center, administration becomes easier and more seamless,” said Christian A. Christiansen, vice president of IDC's Security Products & Services group.
