Securing your home network has become more important than ever, especially if you found a new smart-home device and Symantec plans to help you out. Announced Tuesday, Symantec’s Norton Core home router combines super-fast home Wi-Fi with best-in-class network security.
The Norton Core wireless router is designed with security in mind, but its stylish exterior plays an important role in providing a strong Wi-Fi signal throughout your home. According to Symantec, the Core is designed to look like a piece of home decor, so users will be more likely to place it in the open, rather than tucked behind a TV somewhere.
The Norton Core accomplishes its security aims by scanning every packet that comes in and out of your home network, keeping an eye out for malicious code and known vulnerabilities or threats. It’s capable of not only segregating network traffic it deems suspicious but also misbehaving devices — if someone was using your smart lights as a backdoor into your network for instance.
