Hello,

Symantec Insight is a reputation-based security technology that leverages the anonymous software adoption patterns of Symantec’s hundreds of millions of users to automatically discover and classify every single software file, good or bad, on the Internet. Based on advanced data mining techniques, Insight seeks out mutating code separating out risky, low-reputation files from those that are safe.

To know more check this Whitepaper on Symantec Insight on

Hello,

Symantec Insight is the only system in the world that tracks the age, prevalence and security rating of nearly every program file on the internet. Because Insight knows what files are new or changed, Insight takes the most important advantage of cyber-criminals, their ability to generate millions of unique threats, and turns it against them.

Insight separates files at risk from those that are safe, for faster and more accurate malware detection.

Again, If i am not mistaken, Symantec Insight is 1 thing which differentiate itself from other security products in the world.
