Gen Digital

Gen Digital is a consumer cybersecurity and identity protection company that owns brands such as Norton, Avast, and LifeLock. Its products sell to individuals and families, so it appears in AI governance coverage mainly when its security research or threat intelligence reveals how criminals are abusing AI tools, such as deepfake scams or malicious AI-generated content. For enterprise risk teams, its reports are useful as an early signal of consumer-facing AI threats that can spill over into employee phishing and fraud.
