Norton has recently announced several new security offerings and to complement them, they are also introducing Norton One. Norton One is a service designed to allow you to buy and manage security software via a cloud-based management console. It aims to deliver protection across multiple devices– including PCs, Macs, Android-based phones and tablets.
