NortonLifeLock aims to help safeguard families from online threats as children spend more time online for school and play amid the lockdown in the country due to COVID-19 outbreak


Mumbai,  14th April, 2020NortonLifeLock, one of the leading consumer cybersecurity brands, has announced a complimentarysix-month subscription to the Norton Family software that helps parents supervise their children’s online activities.

With people staying indoors as a safeguard against the prevailing COVID-19 pandemic, children are spending more time online through internet-enabled devices for studies, entertainment, and play. This exposes them to cyberattacks and other online threats. According to the recently launched NortonLifeLock Cyber Safety Insights Report, four in every ten respondents (39%) in India reported to have experienced identity theft, with 10% having suffered some manner of loss as a result.  

“Increased online time comes with increased risk of exposure to cyber threats, especially when it concerns children. There’s a greater need than ever to protect one’s identity in the online world, and we are committed to helping the consumers in these unprecedented times by keeping families protected and safer as kids connect online for school and play. We hope that consumers make the most of the offer and help protect themselves from the potential threats,” said Ritesh Chopra, Country Director, NortonLifeLock, India.
