The new releases are part of the Norton Everywhere initiative, extending Norton’s security expertise across all on-the-go devices and platforms. The offerings will include a new “Scream” feature that will help users find a lost or stolen phone. Knowing the growing threats that are breeding inside the virtual grounds, Symantec releases Norton Tablet Security and new updates for Norton Mobile Security, both for Android. Where there are cyberpunks, there will be security companies– and they evolve alongside each other.

An odd consequence, considering that they’re actually being used more these days. Our laptops and desktops are fully equipped with security applications, but not so with our smartphones and tablets. People aren’t really aware of the potential threats to which their mobile devices are exposing them. Enter Symantec’s Norton Mobile Security Suite, which got an interesting update this week, just a couple short months after its major release. Given the interest that these gizmos are getting from all walks of life, the mobile sphere has also become another area of exploitation for internet muggers. Mobile devices have become such an integral part of our personal and professional lives that we become dysfunctional without them. The mobile industry is not merely surviving, it’s thriving.
