Introducing an advanced web browser with
built-in security and privacy tools that can be personalized and
easily adjusted to suit individual needs
TEMPE,
Ariz. and PRAGUE,
Sept. 21,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- To help protect consumers from
browser-based security, privacy and identity threats, Norton, a
consumer Cyber Safety brand of Gen™ (NASDAQ: GEN), has
released Norton Secure Browser.
Just as a passport is essential for travel, web browsers are
essential for exploring the internet, and serve as the gateway to
websites, information, and experiences. However, they are also
superhighways of personal information for cybercriminals to
exploit, and the dream tool for advertisers to track online
activity and collect insights into the views, motivations and
interests of digital citizens, and appeal to them. Between April
and June this year, Norton blocked more than 180 million
web-related threats globally*, the equivalent of approximately two
million attacks per day or more attacks in three months than there
are people in the United Kingdom
and Germany combined.
"Cybercriminals are becoming more creative in their pursuits to
attack people this year, and advertisers are more eager than ever
to capture as many interactions as possible to profile people and
target them with ads and content," said Ben
Wadors, Director of Browser and Search at Gen. "Norton
Secure Browser helps tackle both problems. We've built in some of
our best technology and innovation to help protect people from new
and persistent web-based threats and made it easy for them to
choose what they share with advertisers, all from a centralized
security and privacy dashboard you can customize in seconds.
There's no frustration finding the right menu options or features
to turn on. You can now control your online safety with a few
clicks and search, shop and communicate with peace of mind."
Features and benefits of Norton Secure Browser include:
- Security & Privacy Center: helps people quickly
manage their online safety and privacy by consolidating security
and privacy tools and features in a simple, easy-to-use
dashboard.
- Privacy Guard: blocks ads to improve the browsing
experience and includes antitracking which helps to keep your
personal searches, interests, and interactions private.
- Web Shield: blocks malicious websites and phishing
attempts while browsing and prevents people from downloading
potentially malicious content, that can try to infect their
device.
- Password Manager: helps prevent apps and malware from
viewing, changing, or deleting saved passwords, and allows you to
log into online accounts with a single click.
- Norton Safe
Search: extends online security to search results.
The Norton search engine flags safe and potentially dangerous
results so you know if a webpage is safe.
Norton Secure Browser is available for Windows PC and Mac, with
additional platform support coming soon. For more information and
