Symantec Security Company decided to bring home security to a next level and presented a new router that can block the intrusions before they reach your connected devices.
It is called Norton Core, and was introduced at CES 2017. The royter is capable of scanning all packets of data transmitted from your connected devices to detect malware or any form of suspicious activity that could put your information at risk.
Symantec equipped the super-robust hardware router to make sure that the connection speed would not be affected. So the device has a dual-core processor clocked at 1,7 GHz that can guarantee a maximum speed at 2.5 Gbps.
“4K streaming, no problem. Core is a production plant. With a 4 × 4 MU-MIMO foundation and ultrafast 802.11ac WiFi, Core is designed to deliver a maximum throughput of 2,5 Gbps. The innovative antenna design combined with the advanced beamforming, provides incredible coverage and range, ”says Symantec.
The router has an advanced system that uses the so-called Security Score. What does it do? The Security Score automatically tracks the transmitted data and detects any possible security issue, and gives ratings to help users prioritize the necessary fixes on their networks.
If the router detects any malicious activity, it automatically isolates the devices and sends a notification to the user, trying to protect all other connected devices and making sure there is no infection.
The router is already available for pre-orders at the 200 dollar price, and Symantec says sending the device will start in the summer of 2017. In addition, those who order the new router will also receive one year of free subscription to Norton Core Security Plus.
The protection pack is for up to 20 devices, from computers, Macs, smartphones to tablets.
George is still wondering what he is doing here….
