It isolates suspicious links to risky web pages and creates a secure remote execution environment between users and malicious content so that only a safe visual representation of content is sent to the user. In addition, risky sites are rendered in read- only mode, which prevents unsuspecting employees from disclosing sensitive information, such as corporate credentials. www.symantec.com Smart security The Mini O, Mini O Plus and Mini Plus high definition smart home cameras from EZVIZ allow homeowners to keep an eye on their properties through their smartphones with HD video and motion detection alerts.
