Norton Cybersecurity Solutions for Home Users and Small Businesses in a Connected World.

In today’s hyperconnected digital landscape, cyber threats are no longer abstract technical issues — they are real-world risks capable of disrupting daily life, draining financial resources, and damaging business reputations. 

From individuals shopping online and managing digital identities to small businesses handling customer data and operating across social platforms, every connected device and account has become a potential target.

As cybercrime grows more sophisticated — fueled by dark web marketplaces, social media exploitation, AI-powered scams, and increasingly convincing social engineering tactics — choosing the right cybersecurity solution is no longer optional. 

Norton, a global leader in digital security, continues to evolve its product portfolio to meet these challenges head-on.

With strong regional availability across South Africa and Africa through Avert IT Distribution (Avert ITD),Norton’s solutions are accessible, scalable, and locally supported — enabling users and businesses to operate securely in an increasingly hostile digital environment.

Norton Small Business Security Solutions: Built for Modern Threats

Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are increasingly targeted by cyber-criminals. Attackers recognize that smaller organisations often lack dedicated security teams, making them attractive targets for ransomware, credential theft, fraud, and impersonation attacks.

Norton’s Small Business solutions address these challenges by delivering enterprise-grade protection that remains simple to deploy and manage.

Norton Small Business: Endpoint Protection for SMBs

Designed for organisations with up to approximately 20 employees, Norton Small Business provides centralized, cloud-based security across multiple platforms.

Key benefits include:

  • Centralized dashboard for managing all protected devices
  • Real-time protection against malware, ransomware, phishing, and unsafe websites
  • Support for Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS devices
  • Fast deployment without complex infrastructure

This solution is ideal for professional services firms, retail businesses, startups, and distributed teams.

Advanced Business Protection: Dark Web and Social Media Monitoring

To address evolving cyber risks, Norton has expanded its Small Business offering with advanced monitoring capabilities.

Dark Web Monitoring for Businesses

Norton now monitors business-specific identifiers — including company names, tax numbers, and VAT details — across underground forums where stolen data is traded. Early detection allows businesses to take swift action before fraud or system compromise occurs.

Social Media Monitoring

With businesses increasingly active on platforms such as Facebook and Instagram, social media has become a key attack surface. Norton’s Social Media Monitoring alerts businesses to suspicious activity, takeover attempts, impersonation, and scam links — helping protect brand reputation and customer trust.

Key Benefits of Norton Cybersecurity Solutions

Norton’s strength lies in its layered, intelligence-driven security approach:

Global Threat Intelligence

Norton leverages extensive global telemetry and continuously updated threat intelligence to detect known and emerging threats in real time.

AI-Powered Scam and Fraud Protection

Artificial intelligence enhances protection against scams across websites, email, SMS, and even deepfake audio or visual threats.

Cross-Platform Device Protection

Support for Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS ensures security across mixed-device environments common in homes and businesses.

Simple Management and User Control

Intuitive interfaces allow non-technical users to stay protected, while centralized dashboards provide business owners and IT managers with full visibility.

Cybersecurity Trends Impacting Homes and Small Businesses

Cyber-crime is now a strategic risk rather than a purely technical issue. Data breaches continue to rise, while stolen credentials are rapidly resold on dark web marketplaces. In 2025 alone, cyber-attacks targeting small businesses increased by more than 50%, highlighting the need for proactive monitoring and layered defenses.

Whether protecting personal finances, children’s online activity, or sensitive business data, cyber security must evolve at the same pace as modern threats.
