Cyber security solutions major Symantec today said it has named its information management business arm as Veritas Technologies Corporation.
In October, the California-based firm had said it would separate the company into two independent publicly traded companies -- one focused on security and the other on information management.
Veritas offers a range of products including backup and recovery software and appliances, storage management, disaster recovery, archiving and eDiscovery solutions.
