"Small and medium businesses usually have limited time, money and expertise to secure and manage their information from external and internal threats. Often, more pressing business needs will take precedence over security, backup and recovery for computer and network systems, leaving businesses vulnerable to data and system losses and causing serious damage and business interruption," said Bernard Kwok, Symantec's senior vice president for Asia Pacific and Japan.

"By automating key processes such as backup and recovery, endpoint protection and data loss prevention, SMBs can improve cost efficiencies and streamline manageability that allow them more resources and time to focus on their core businesses," he said.
