Symantec intros 'OneFamily.Norton'

NEW DELHI, INDIA: Symantec has announced the launch of a new family safety service, 'OnlineFamily.Norton' and a new online tool, 'Norton 360 Cyber Safety Index', to help parents better manage their kids online.

The Norton 360 CSI, available at www.norton360csi.com, is an online survey that helps parents to gain a better understanding of their families’ online risks profile and assess their protection levels and threat savviness. Upon completion of the online questionnaire, parents will be provided with a report that identifies their cyber safety index rating, as well as relevant safety tips and advice tailored to their risk profile.

To encourage parents to take the Norton 360 CSI, Symantec will be offering one family with an all-expenses paid trip for two adults and two children in Tokyo Disneyland for seven days. The lucky draw will close on June 30.

OnlineFamily.Norton encourages parents to educate and communicate with their kids. It is philosophy of dialogue and keeps parents in the loop on not only what their kids are doing online, but also what they’re interested in both on and off the Internet.

The service provides clear reports with activities listed in chronological order. OnlineFamily.Norton’s Web site monitoring report eliminates all the extra URLs, like ads from media-heavy Web sites, that most parental control solutions are unable to strip out.

The report also shows thumbnails of the Web sites their children visit, making viewing the report easy and convenient. Parents can view these reports through their OnlineFamily.Norton account from anywhere they have access to the Internet. They can also choose to receive e-mail reports about select activities.
