Stop treating your datacentre as if it were a laptop: Symantec

Speaking at the Symantec Symposium in Sydney today, the company’s information security practice manager Adrian Covich said that organisations are treating the security of their servers like laptops.

Despite servers residing in the datacentre and having vastly different security challenges, Covich said businesses protect them as if they were end points, like laptops, installing antivirus and data loss prevention packages and ignoring the fact that they are have different challenges.
