TOKYO, April 13 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Symantec Corp., one of the world's leading cyber security companies, and NTT Security, the specialized security company of NTT Group, have announced their intention to enter into a strategic partnership to bolster web security services offerings to customers across the cloud, mobile and on-premises.
