[QUOTE="calumski, post: 863816, member: 86193"] Norton has been feeding Symantec's Global Intelligence Network (GIN) and their 9 trillion lines of code for years. It was one of their major marketing ploys being the biggest civilian repository for IOC info. Now that BC have taken on Endpoint, Proxy (albeit that the Cloud proxy is now hosted on GCP instead of AWS), DLP and CASB, they have had to negotiate with Norton to maintain that relationship and still utilise the consumer-fed GIN. McAfee have also noted an interest in Norton in the past but that's gone quiet recently. BC have a huge amount of ground to cover - they've lost circa 95% of their UK account and presales team to Forcepoint and this is replicating slowly on a global scale. They've also move much of their customer base to a digital remote hands approach causing pain with many customers. BC are a money machine and very efficient with it but there's unrest on both sides of the relationship with many people in Norton still uncertain as to how to the future looks. The Accenture scoop up of the traditional CSS also has thrown confusion into the mix with more 'restructuring' to come in the next 12 months... [/QUOTE]
