Symantec choosing Azure to host its ubiquitous line of consumer security products represents not only a big customer win for Microsoft’s public cloud but also a tremendous endorsement of its data security capabilities, partners told CRN.
Through the deal revealed Monday, the Mountain View, Calif.-based cybersecurity company will deliver its Norton line of antivirus and data protection products from Azure to millions of customers.
Symantec also plans to bring its e-commerce system for purchasing Norton software online to Azure, the company said.
