Symantec Cyber Security Services [EOL] Initial Setup

Now it is simple to work with the initial installation of Symantec. It wasn't always. It is not a complex concept because people know very well about the importance of cybersecurity. They are working in different locations. There are cybersecurity information sessions and conferences. We are creating awareness ourselves at our company for the people and the organizations. We are involved in the universities as well and we are giving the students some advanced core security projects.  

Security is finally a recognized product and finally a project as well. Now the dynamics are changing and there are people working in different universities and different organizations coming together to work on these problems. They are opening regional and country-wide chapters as well. They are looking at this problem and calling on people to get themselves up to date on what is going on in the cybersecurity domain.  

The problem it solves is complex, I think. The product itself is not so complex to use, but at the same time, it is definitely not a very simple technical thing. The UI is not so user-friendly without instruction. If I give someone a training session for like an hour or two hours that is all it takes to can get all the things they need to understand. I think, on average, it is not very difficult to learn.  

I personally did not do the installation. A man came in and he installed the product. I think he took around a week because we have around 3,000 to 4,000 users. But now even I will get some lessons on Symantec. Very soon the vendor will come to us to give us personal instruction on the installation and implementation.

The initial setup was not complex. It's very straightforward. Even configuring the servers is very easy when you are implementing the solution for the first time.

The deployment is quick. It's doesn't take too long. We had about 11 staff members that handled the deployment.

The initial setup is simple.

Some of our customers have on-premises deployments, while others are using a cloud-based solution. The length of time for deployment varies depending on the number of users. For example, if it is being implemented for 1,000 users then it will probably take a couple of weeks to deploy.

The initial setup of this solution is not complicated. It will take a little bit of time to understand in the beginning, but later on, it's really easy to understand and deploy.
