Billing Symantec as a global leader in cyber security software, CeBIT notes that the company "plays a critical role in helping protect the world against rising levels of cybercrime and insider threats."
Indeed, in the last 12 months alone, CeBIT says Symantec "has been at the forefront of defending people against attacks like WannaCry, Petya and others."
Greg Clark, CEO, Symantec, commented ahead of his upcoming presentation, and said: "The threat environment is more complex than ever. This year alone, we’ve seen nation states conduct political manipulation and sabotage, while cyber criminals have caused unprecedented levels of disruption for consumers.
