TEMPE, Ariz., Oct. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- NortonLifeLock (NASDAQ: NLOK), a global leader in consumer Cyber Safety, today announced its commitment to this year's Cybersecurity Awareness Month campaign, "Do Your Part. #BeCyber Smart," which highlights the individual responsibility everyone has in securing our connected world.

"To empower consumers to take charge of their digital lives every day of the year, we're offering Cyber Safe resources and solutions that span device security, online privacy and identity theft protection."
