Gen Digital powers cybersecurity, online privacy, identity protection and financial wellness through brands including Norton, Avast, LifeLock and AVG, serving nearly 500 million users in over 150 countries.
Gen Digital Inc. is a global consumer technology company whose remit is broad and consequential: cybersecurity, online privacy, identity protection and financial wellness, delivered through a family of trusted brands. Among them are Norton, Avast, Avira and AVG in consumer cybersecurity, LifeLock in identity protection, CCleaner in device optimisation, and ReputationDefender in online reputation management. The company reaches nearly 500 million users across more than 150 countries and is publicly traded on NASDAQ under the ticker GEN.
The engineering agenda is substantial. Gen concentrates on advanced threat intelligence, AI-powered solutions and device protection, applied at a scale few consumer security firms can match. Working on problems in digital safety at that reach - defending hundreds of millions of endpoints and identities - offers technical professionals the sort of challenge that is rare outside the largest platforms, with the added dimension of directly shaping how people live online.
Gen traces its roots to the 1982 founding of Symantec Corporation, giving it a four-decade record of innovation in digital safety. It operates with dual headquarters in Tempe, Arizona and Prague, Czech Republic, and employs thousands of professionals across the United States and Europe. The stated mission - powering Digital Freedom so that people can live digital lives safely, privately and confidently - anchors a portfolio of award-winning products and a stated commitment to making the digital world safer for everyone.
