Symantec has specialized in software security and has released a wide selection ranging from individual PC antivirus software to an entire Security System for small to mid-range businesses. The Password Validation Service was an earlier incarnation of the Symantec System, and it performs the basic function of a security system, and that is authentification. It denies access to intruders who are not given the proper protocols, hereby protecting the users files and software. Symantec has further evolved with the times and they have actually devised a program that can replace both hardware and software restrictions. The Cloud service integrates all the components into one efficient security blanket. The system also provides automatic backup , which also protects the user from data loss.
