Has the world every been more interconnected than in 2024?

Work. Socialising. Shopping. Conversing. Banking.

Almost everything we do, see, or interact with is seemingly interlinked and intertwined. You can order food at the press of a button or make an urgent payment within a few clicks of your device. You can capture moments, share ideas, talk to your loved ones or run an empire via a digitised global interweb where everything, and everyone, is connected.

The unfortunate reality, however, is that most of the things that matter to us are stored or conducted online. Great for ease-of-access, sure – but safe? Debatable.

It appears as if we’ve swapped “risk free living” for convenience – and the age of Cyber Crimes is at an all-time high (plus growing at exponential rates). Enter Norton (brought to you by Vox), which offers comprehensive, easy-to-use protection to help safeguard the things that really matter.

First off – what’s the issue, and why is it an issue?

Cyber threats are at an all-time high – and why wouldn’t they be? The pandemic issued in an era of digitisation. Criminals in general are nothing if not opportunistic, and the rampant rise of online activity resulted in an unfortunate yet inevitable increase in online threats. Whether breaching systems, stealing personal information, or compromising devices, these are real-world issues with real-world consequences that, sadly, aren’t going away. In fact, all the signs point to exponential year on year growth within the Cyber Crime sector – which is enough to make anyone shudder.

(Forget hacking for a second – that’s just the tip of the iceberg – and spare a thought for the sheer volume of unregulated, underaged minors with Internet access. Your kid’s digital safety is an entirely different behemoth that needs to be contended with parallel to your own personal/business security).

It’s overwhelming.

It’s daunting.

It’s enough to make anyone want to cancel their Wi-Fi subscription for good.

But what if it didn’t need to be? Enter the world of Norton, where you no longer have to worry about navigating this digital minefield alone. Enter the world of robust tools designed with your safety in mind. Enter the world of defending your personal, digital, and family assets against all forms of cyber threats. Let’s unpack this world, and you may find a few boxes ticked (as well as a few concerns put to bed).

Comprehensive Threat Protection, and then some…

  1. The first benefit of Norton products is real-time threat protection, which actively (and constantly) scans connected devices to block, detect, or remove threats altogether before your information is made vulnerable. They say prevention is better than cure, and no more so than in the world of cybersecurity. By adopting a proactive approach, you can keep all forms of malware, viruses, ransomware and beyond at bay to ensure maximised security + peace of mind.

*fun fact: with a Norton VPN, your online activities remain private and encrypted – meaning you can even connect to public Wi-Fi while travelling and rest assured your information is secure.

  1. Everything in life is password protected – but how protected are your passwords, really? To be honest, remembering fifteen different unique passwords (with characters, letters, a haiku and blood sample) across multiple websites can be… overwhelming. Never fear. Norton offers Password Manager software to store, generate, and protect it on your behalf – simple solution, sorted.

 

  1. They say children are our future (or something motivational along those lines) – Norton is second to none when it comes to ensuring family safety. Their extensive Parental Control features ensure that no stone is left unturned. Monitor, track, or watch your kid’s online behaviour, set limits, block inappropriate content or even identify their whereabouts – it’s the present, and future, of redefined digital wellbeing for minors.
