Insights
Gen enhances Norton Small Business with crucial security features amid rising cyber threats, potentially strengthening its competitive position and revenue streams.
Gen's expansion of Norton Small Business with Dark Web Monitoring and Social Media Monitoring capabilities comes at a strategically opportune moment. The cybersecurity landscape for small businesses has deteriorated dramatically, with breach attacks up
The enhanced product now monitors eight additional business-specific identifiers including Company Name, Tax ID, and VAT numbers on the Dark Web, while also protecting Facebook and Instagram business profiles from account takeovers and scam links. This positions Norton Small Business as a more comprehensive security solution specifically tailored for the small business segment.
What makes this expansion particularly significant is how it addresses an underserved market with growing needs. Small businesses typically lack robust IT departments yet face increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. By focusing on monitoring functions that provide early warnings rather than just reactive protection, Gen is offering preventative security that could reduce costly breaches for clients.
The geographical rollout strategy is notable - Dark Web Monitoring is available globally across Norton's Standard and Premium plans, while Social Media Monitoring is currently limited to Premium subscribers in the US and UK markets, suggesting a phased approach to feature deployment. This likely allows Gen to test market reception and refine the offering before wider release, while potentially driving upgrades to higher-tier subscription plans.

Data breaches impacting businesses are surging, up
"Today, small businesses are targets like everyone else and they need the right tools to help protect them from very real threats," said Deval Patel, Head of Small Business at Gen. "A cyber incident can cripple a small business by tarnishing its reputation and draining financial reserves. Thousands of small businesses trust the comprehensiveness of Norton Small Business to help safeguard their data and customers. By adding enhanced Dark Web and Social Media Monitoring alongside our Financial Monitoring feature, we're extending that peace of mind into areas where cyber threats are growing fastest."
Norton's Enhanced Dark Web Monitoring is always on the lookout for signs of danger, alerting business owners at the first glimpse of trouble. Monitoring now includes eight additional business-specific fields, including Company Name, Tax ID number, and VAT numbers. If any of these details are spotted on the Dark Web—where stolen business information changes hands—Norton quickly notifies small businesses so they can spring into action.
Social Media Monitoring provides protection on platforms where reputations are built and conversations happen globally. In the same way weather alerts warn of an incoming storm, this feature gives small businesses early warnings of account takeover attempts, scam links, and suspicious activity on connected Facebook and Instagram business profiles. Protection from such threats is growing in importance: the Q2 Gen threat report reported a huge surge in financial scams from malicious ads and tech support scams originating on Facebook and Instagram.
Dark Web Monitoring is available in Norton Small Business Standard and Premium plans across the US,
