Question What is Norton Community Watch, is it as Kaspersky Security Network (KSN)?

[lokamoka820]

From Norton community forum:

Norton Community Watch collects information about potential security risks from your computer and sends the information to NortonLifeLock for analysis. This helps Norton identify new threats and where they originated more efficiently and provide solutions to block them.

Norton Community Watch only collects information on running processes, visited URLs, or general system information from your computer when Norton detects a possible risk. It sends data for analysis during a LiveUpdate session or when a scan is run.

Is it a security layer or data collector?

Norton Community Watch functions as both. It collects data about potential security risks for analysis (data collector), and this analysis helps Norton to identify and block new threats (security layer).
