Norton by Symantec on Tuesday announced the Norton Core secure router for smart devices in the connected home at CES. The router protects up to 20 PCs, Macs, Android and iOS smartphones and tablets on a home network, and unlimited devices connected to the IoT. It will update its firmware in background mode automatically, said Ameer Karim, GM of consumer IoT security at Symantec. The router scans incoming and outgoing network packets across the home network, quarantines infected connected devices to a separate network, and alerts the user.
This is a great gadget! I can't wait to see reviews on how well it actually works. The design is pretty brilliant if you really think about it. Not only does it make it better for the antennas but it doesn't scream ROUTER. It's camouflaged and aesthetically pleasing. You can put this out somewhere in the open and the only thing that'll really give it away that it's a router/internet equipment is the big NORTON across the top. Besides that it could be overlooked as a simple knick knack or decoration.

Too bad it really does look like an eye-saw. I guess that's the price we pay for our security/privacy right?
