Ivan Pettersson

Country: Sweden

Knight: Symantec Endpoint Security

Symantec since: 2021

I have a wide experience of the security landscape, especially in daily operations such as backup and restore in large and complex environments.
This has given me valuable insight into the challenges of adopting new workflows when you know the problem you need to solve, yet are uncertain of the best way to tackle it.
Through repeated investment in innovation, Symantec has made those challenges more manageable, whatever one’s role in IT security may be.

I have been working for Arrow as a Technical Solution Engineer on the Symantec portfolio since 2021.
