What is Norton and how does it protect your digital life?

Norton has been known for years as one of the largest and most reliable brands in the field of cybersecurity. But what exactly is Norton? In this article, we will delve deeper into what Norton is, what the brand offers, and what makes it unique. Whether you're a consumer looking to secure your devices or a business aiming to protect sensitive information, Norton has a solution for you!

What is Norton?

Norton is one of the most well-known brands that develops security software. This security software provides protection against viruses, malware, ransomware, spyware, and other online threats. Norton was founded in 1982 under the name Symantec, but the company quickly grew to become one of the biggest names in cybersecurity. In 1990, the company introduced Norton Antivirus, and the product quickly became popular due to its effective protection and user-friendly interface. In 2019, Symantec separated its business and consumer operations, with the consumer products continuing under the name NortonLifeLock.

The company is no longer called Symantec but Gen Digital. Norton is not the only brand managed by Gen Digital. LifeLock, Avast, Bullguard, Avira, AVG, and CCleaner are also part of Gen Digital. Bullguard and Avira were available for purchase at 2GO Software in the past, but due to the acquisition, these brands are no longer available in our webshop. We advise customers who purchased Bullguard or Avira in previous years to renew with one of Norton's products. These products offer more advanced security. Later in this article, you'll read exactly what kind of protection these products offer.

Gen Digital has more than 500 million users and operates in over 150 countries. This makes Gen Digital one of the largest Cyber Safety consumer networks in the world. The company's mission is to enable this large network to benefit from the digital world—safely, privately, and with confidence—through the technological solutions they offer.

What does Norton offer?

Norton offers several products that cater to your specific needs. Norton Security and Norton 360 provide security for consumers, Norton Small Business offers security packages for businesses, and Norton Utilities is software that can optimize your PC’s performance. Below, we explain what these product lines entail.

Norton Security
Norton Security is an advanced security solution that protects against viruses, malware, spyware, and other online threats. It provides real-time protection for your devices and personal data with features like a smart firewall, anti-phishing tools, and secure online banking. Norton Security combines ease of use with advanced technology to keep your online activities safe.

Norton 360
Norton 360 offers everything Norton Security does but goes a step further with additional features. Norton 360 products also offer a VPN, password management, parental controls, and online backup. These additional features ensure that Norton 360 provides comprehensive security that protects you and your devices on all fronts. The Norton 360 Advanced product offers the most comprehensive security with identity protection and recovery and a generous 200 GB of online backup.

Norton Small Business
Norton Small Business is a security solution for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). These products provide flexible protection for multiple devices. With simple management options, business owners can set up and customize security for their employees. Norton Small Business offers the same powerful protection as the consumer products but is optimized for the needs of SMEs.

Norton Utilities Ultimate
Norton Utilities Ultimate is a tool designed to optimize your PC’s performance. This software is designed to speed up your computer and make it work more efficiently by cleaning up unnecessary files, optimizing the registry, and managing system memory. This product doesn’t provide security but is a good addition if you want to get the most out of your computer.

What makes Norton unique?

Norton stands out from other security brands with its Norton 360 packages that include extensive security features, including online backup. No other cybersecurity brand offers packages with cloud backup and advanced features like VPN, password management, and identity protection. Cloud backup is an essential component if you want to ensure your cybersecurity is in order and fully protected. With cloud backup, you can create a copy of data that is important to you and store it in the cloud. You can restore the backup at any time if something goes wrong.

The amount of cloud backup varies by product. Norton 360 Standard comes with 10 GB of cloud backup, Norton 360 Deluxe comes with 50 GB, Norton 360 Premium offers 75 GB, and Norton 360 Advanced offers significantly more, with 200 GB of cloud backup. But that’s not all! We offer an exclusive bundle with Norton 360 Deluxe for 3 devices along with unlimited cloud backup from Jottacloud. With this package, you never have to worry about running out of cloud storage.
