Business Wire
Exclusive to all TELUS Internet customers at
launch, NortonLifeLock products offer comprehensive protection for
consumers’ connected devices, online privacy and identity
TELUS (TSX: T, NYSE: TU), a world-leading communications and
information technology company and NortonLifeLock (NASDAQ: NLOK), a
global leader in consumer Cyber Safety, today launched TELUS Online
Security, which features Norton™ 360 Basic and Norton™ 360 with
LifeLock™ Basic Plus providing key cyber safety, device security
and online privacy services.
“Our customers’ safety and well-being are of the utmost
importance to TELUS. Leveraging our PureFibre network, the #1
network for speed and reliability, TELUS SmartHome Security is a
leader in physical security, and now with TELUS Online Security, we
are making it easier than ever to help our customers proactively
safeguard their data, devices, and online privacy,” said Zainul
Mawji, President of Home Solutions at TELUS. “NortonLifeLock has a
stellar track record of helping protect consumers’ devices and
online privacy, and we’re incredibly proud to be the first to bring
their identity protection and identity restoration services to
Canada.”
According to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre, Canadians lost $98
million to fraud in 2019 alone, with the most profitable scam,
spear phishing – where scammers pretend to be from legitimate
sources to convince businesses or individuals to send them money –
cost Canadians $21.4 million1. We can only expect this number to
rise as cybercriminals continue to prey on consumers.
“We are on a mission to help consumers take control of their
Cyber Safety around the world,” said Samir Kapuria, President of
NortonLifeLock. “Unfortunately, there is no honor with identity
thieves, as they are exploiting global events to trick consumers
into giving away their personal and financial information across a
myriad of scams, fake websites and malware. We are excited to work
with TELUS on the mission to bring our cyber safety capabilities
across security, identity restoration and privacy into the TELUS
Online Security Plans enabling more people to better safeguard
their devices and personal data, as well as provide full-service
identity theft restoration help.”
