| Paul Smith, a designer and retailer of clothing and luxury goods, wanted a client security solution that would be easier to manage.

Although still in the early stages of implementation, the company reports that integration with familiar tools like Microsoft Systems Management Server and Operations Manager are simplifying management.

Securing a Major German Insurer Using a Personal Firewall in the Endpoint Security Solution From Symantec | 2007-10-04 | Symantec |
| Forewarned is forearmed. That could be the motto by which HUK-COBURG protects its business network and mobile terminals from Internet viruses. Only clients found to be clean in a virus protection test will in future be allowed to log in to the major German insurer, and it's made possible by the personal firewall in Symantec Sygate Enterprise Protection software. The solution not only enables the differentiated definition of security requirements to be met by the client for each employee and each location, it also means that the established guidelines on client security are kept under control. Missing updates are immediately detected and automatically carried out. If this is not possible, update gaps are 'Punished' by means of a restricted radius of action.
