Symantec has four security operations centres worldwide in India, the UK and the US. The UK headquarters, seen here, is based in Reading.
The security operations centre is part of the Symantec Global Intelligence Network.
The centres protect and monitor more than 7,000 devices for 650 customers against everything from viruses to data theft.
Data for the intelligence network floods in from more than 40,000 registered sensors and two million probes in more than 180 countries.
Symantec also has about two million active email accounts that its uses to collect and analyse spam and a "honey pot network" of vulnerable websites, to entice hacking and examine techniques.
