Technical Information
Symantec DeepSight Alert Services provides "pre-emptive" attack information. This information is used before an active attack to help secure a network against known threats and vulnerabilities. Symantec DeepSight Alert Services sends alerts when a system is shown to be vulnerable to a newly discovered threat, exploit, or product vulnerability.

The Symantec DeepSight Threat Management System provides near real-time intelligence. This information is used during an active attack to help mount a rapid, accurate, and efficient defense against a rapidly advancing threat.
