Norton Cybersecurity Institute launched

Norton by Symantec recently announced the launch of the Norton Cybersecurity Institute, a collaboration between law enforcement, consumer safety groups and security leader Norton. The Norton Cybersecurity Institute is a global initiative to support and win the fight against cybercrime by providing law enforcement with training, technical expertise, and improved global cooperation.

Key highlights from this announcement:

·         The first panel discussion focused on the biggest challenges facing law enforcement, emerging threats such as mobile and other technologies, and how international law enforcement can keep up with an ever-developing criminal environment.

·         The lead Cybersecurity Advisor at Norton, Adam Palmer, is a former U.S. Navy JAG prosecutor and served as an instructor in cybercrime prosecution courses for the National District Attorney’s Association (NDAA), the National Association of Attorneys General (NAAG), and the National Law Center for Children (NLC).

·         Starting in 2011, the Norton Cybersecurity Institute plans to begin rolling out a number of programs and resources to assist law enforcement in the fight against cybercrime and to support consumers who have been victims of cybercriminals.
