    Global Security Intelligence

    Symantec’s Global Intelligence Network (GIN) is a massive archive of security data; we monitor, analyze and process more than 10 trillion security events per year worldwide. This means taking big data that comes from various streams and finding the common threads that connect them that comprise an attack. Finding these indications of compromise and correlating them allows us to design new methods of detection and prevention.
    The importance of incorporating global security intelligence into a security program should not be underestimated. The best way to protect your network from threats is to understand what and who is likely to attack you, and also to learn what newly identified vulnerabilities may be exploited to attack your network.
    Shift from reactive security. Traditional security solutions, although effective, only identify threats as they hit the enterprise. Adding visibility into the global threat landscape can enable a more proactive security policy to be implemented. Trying to keep pace with the threat landscape and to aggregate threat data from numerous sources makes identifying relevant threats and prioritizing mitigation actions more than full-time tasks.
    Breadth and depth of data. The GIN offers visibility into empirical, real-world customer data from enterprises and consumers, Symantec .cloud meta-data, forums, vendors, honeynets and other third-party data combined with the largest collection of end-point sensors in the industry.
    DeepSight Intelligence collects, analyzes and delivers cyber threat information collected by the Symantec Global Intelligence Network (GIN). The Symantec GIN has global visibility into the threat landscape including big data from:
    • More than 41.5 million attack sensors in 157 countries
    • An extensive anti-fraud community of enterprises, security vendors and more than 50 million end users
    • More than 8 billion emails per month from 5 million decoy accounts
    • Over 13 billion web requests a day
