Hi,

I am using Amazon Fire Stick.

I seen there is no Information Security  or any other kind of security.

Now Norton stopped norton connectsafe so feel unsafe.

I seen Comparison of digital media players, there are lots of other devices works same as Amazon Fire Stick.

Why not Norton give some solution for Amazon Fire Stick & others?

Thanks,

Hello khiremander. These devices are iOT devices (internet of things) and do not run a dedicated operating system which an antiviral solution would need to be installable on to protect. Norton provides an article with ways to protect devices however it doesn't specifically call to the media player audience. Another article is here. Local A/V solutions on the other devices on the network also help protect it.

The best defense for iOT devices is at the router level. Maintaining current firmware updates on those devices as well as keeping the software on the iOT devices up to date. Routers can and will block the types of data traffic which would be detrimental to the network as a whole. The specific manufacturers can provide best usage guidance for setting up iOT on your network based on the requirements they need to function.

Cheers
