1 articles · Updated · The Fast Mode · Jul 13

Summary

  • Magenta made Internet Protection an activatable feature on many consumer plans, using network-level scanning to detect and block phishing, ransomware and malware before they hit users’ devices.
  • The service runs automatically inside the Magenta network once switched on, and adds Website Check for suspicious links plus Identity Check for email addresses exposed in data leaks.
  • Internet Protection Plus extends coverage beyond Magenta’s network with an app and Safe Connection for external Wi-Fi, while Magenta Child Protection adds content filters, time controls and geofencing for families.
  • Business customers are also getting expanded security options through Internet Protection Business and Norton Business Security, included in the BIZ Ultimate plan and discounted on other business tariffs.
  • The launch ties into Magenta Family, which bundles internet, mobile, TV and digital services as the company pushes cybersecurity as a built-in everyday utility rather than a separate add-on.
