Avinash Lotke, Symantec Corp's director of strategic sales, Asia-Pacific and Japan, said SMBs were a key part of the supply chain in the business environment today, handling valuable information and regularly process important customer data.

"While the SMBs ranked data loss and cyber attacks as top business risks, they are still facing challenges in securing their businesses as buying, deploying and managing security systems are becoming increasingly complicated," he said at the launch of Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition 2013 software for SMBs here Thursday.

Philip Routley, Symantec's head of SMB product marketing for Asia-Pacific and Japan, said this product would enable SMBs to quickly and easily protect information by eliminating complexity in their environment.

In a statement, Symantec said the cloud-managed service and traditional on-premise management in a single product will give SBMs the freedom to move easily to the cloud when they were ready without adding complexity to their environment.
