As a tech company focused heavily on security Symantec faces the dual challenges of an increasingly open and connected world and a growing need for service based solutions. To strengthen its position as an industry leader Symantec has been on the look out for innovators – recently acquiring Vontu and MessageLabs. While the rapid rate of interconnectivity poses new challenges for Symantec, the monetary crisis may provide it with the opportunity to strengthen its position as a market leader as smaller startups are starved of capital. The consolidation of tech companies that occurs during downturns may provide Symantec with an influx talent and innovation that it would not have had in a more competitive environment.
