Security for everybody - across all
platforms
With two out of three persons not securing
their phones with any kind of password, what will happen if the phone is stolen
en route? This has been a major concern for both consumers and enterprise
customers around the world, and Norton is well aware of this.
Norton by Symantec announced two premium
security suites: Norton 360 Everywhere, which protects multiple platforms in
one solution, and an update to the award-winning Norton 360. Norton 360
Everywhere, available in the first half of 2012, will provide security across
PCs, Macs, Android- based phones and tablets. Norton 360 version 6.0 is
available now and has just earned top rankings for both protection and
performance.

"With the introduction of Norton 360
Everywhere, we’ve expanded the powerful protection consumers know and trust to
their digital devices," says David Hall, Regional Consumer Marketing
Manager, Asia Pacific, Symantec. "We are enabling consumers to protect
their valuable data and personal informationon many more devices."
Many families today have some combination
of PCs, Macs, smart phones and tablets - all of which need security of their
own to protect against online threats, data loss, and device loss and theft. A
recent study found that some households have as many as 14 to 20 consumer
digital devices. Norton 360 Everywhere will deliver a multiplatform solution
where consumers can customise their security to meet their specific needs.

A test group showed that participants ate
9.3 percent fewer cookies with the glasses on than the control group. The team
also adjusted their magic glasses to reduce the size of the food seen; which
caused another test group to eat more cookies than normal. Augmented reality
might just be the next dieting fad if they find a way to market this
interesting new technology.
