Q&A: Symantec CEO On Split, New Security-Focused Channel Vision And Apple Vs. FBI

Brown Talks Symantec Post Split

It's only March, but 2016 has already been a busy year for Symantec. The security vendor completed its split from information management business Veritas, landed a $500 million investment from Silver Lake, and continued the rollout of new products and a revamped partner program. The last time CRN caught up with CEO Michael Brown was before the company's split in October. We reconnected with him at the recent RSA Conference in San Francisco to get up to speed on how all of these changes at the security vendor will affect partners, as well as to catch his thoughts on recent competitive changes and the Apple vs. FBI debate. Take a look at what he had to say.
