Cerebra

Symantec is the largest maker of security software and is a global leader in providing storage and systems management solutions to help organisations secure and manage their information-driven world. Symantec software and services protect against more risks at more points, more completely and efficiently, enabling confidence wherever information is used or stored.

Cerebra is responsible for Symantec enterprise and SMB media communications in South Africa.

We started working with Symantec in 2007 to position them as a thought leader within the security space and to raise online security awareness of Internet users. In July 2009, South Africa landed two new undersea comms cables. Many years of Symantec research shows that malicious activity increases where new bandwidth is made available. At the beginning of 2010, Cerebra put together a FIFA 2010 Soccer World Cup campaign, which was adopted globally. Information was provided and malicious activity reported on the newly created website www.2010netthreat.com targeting over 1 billion soccer followers.

We continue to work with Symantec to inform you about the ever-growing amounts of malware being developed and report on security threats.
