Symantec announces hassle-free Norton Core, a digital safety solution for connected homes

Norton, one of the best-known names in security software, is branching out into hardware. At CES 2017, parent company Symantec announced a stylish yet security-minded router that it says is designed to protect both your home’s Wi-Fi network and the devices connected to it including Windows PCs, Macs, smartphones, tablets and even Internet of Things devices like Wi-Fi thermostats , smart TVs and security cameras.

Fuelled by emerging threats and their ability to monetize protection from them, Symantec’s consumer division Norton has announced a new wireless router that it hopes will be effective in protecting the new wave of IoT devices that are either on the market now or headed for it shortly. Priced at an introductory $199.99 , the Norton Core is visually startling for a router; loosely resembling a geodesic dome – think Epcot Centre – it comes in either Titanium Gold or Granite Grey, and has all of the latest technologies you would expect from a modern router.
