Now more than ever, cyber criminals are going after the smaller businesses that do not have the high-level security of their enterprise counterparts. A 2009 Symantec survey found that while SMBs are familiar with the information risks they face, a surprisingly high number have yet to take even the most basic steps towards protecting their businesses. The survey found that 69 percent do not have endpoint protection and 56 percent were not backing up their data.

In case of an outbreak or a system failure, the suites backup and recovery capabilities will help SMBs recover individual files and folders or complete Windows systems quickly, even to dissimilar hardware or virtual environments.
The solution is intended to simplify IT administration work and claims to lower total cost of ownership by enabling SMBs to purchase and manage backup, recovery and security for the entire organization in a single suite.The suite can be quickly deployed with minimal disruption to a customers IT environment.
