If your family is anything like mine you have multiple devices around the home. It can mean that protecting the stuff on those devices can be costly and time-consuming. I know I am biased, working for Norton, but when Norton One was announced last week I was so impressed I had to write a blog about it. Norton One is simple and easy to use. These are two key points for my family and me.
Norton One is the industry’s first security membership service which makes managing the security for all of the devices in your home easy and understandable. If you’re anything like me then you’ll have a mixture of PCs, Macs, smartphones and tablets in your house. The likelihood that all of the devices are used to access your personal information, whether it is emails through your phone or online banking on your laptop, is very high. For me this means it is extremely important all my family’s devices are protected. This can be costly. But, the beauty of the Norton One membership is that it covers up to five devices in your home for one fixed price. Norton also offers a premium membership which is managed through an online portal. Once you sign up and log-in you can assign the 5-user protection that comes with Norton One to any one of the five devices in your home. If you buy a new, or replace an old, device, for example, buy a new smartphone or tablet or you exchange your old PC for a Mac or vice versa, then you can re-assign one of the licenses quite quickly via the Norton One online portal. It just takes a few mouse-clicks. It is easy to do and more importantly will provide the peace of mind that all your stuff is protected. Norton’s service also includes a free to call 24/7 tech help and assistant. I’ve spoken to the advisors a few times and they all are extremely helpful.
