          Symantec has announced a security alerting service called DeepSight, through which network managers can receive email or fax alerts about newly discovery vulnerabilities or viruses.

          The service, which requires managers to register their internal systems over the web, provides data related solely to that organisation's applications and equipment to provide the most relevant information because an average of 60 new vulnerabilities are discovered every week.

          DeepSight, which starts at $US5000 per year, also offers an online workflow process to keep track of remediation requirements.
