Norton VPN: 2025’s milestones and the roadmap for 2026

With massive network upgrades and double independent audits, Norton VPN spent 2025 proving it is no longer just an add-on, but a serious contender for the masses.

Norton’s VPN strategy in 2025 reflects a shifting security landscape, where consumer expectations, regulatory pressures, and technological change are converging at unprecedented speed.

According to Himmat Bains, Product Lead for Norton VPN, 2025 was the year "online privacy shifted from a niche concern to a mainstream expectation."

While the VPN industry often focuses on enthusiasts, Norton has had to adapt to a broader, more volatile digital environment. The rapid spread of Generative AI has fundamentally changed the nature of online threats, while governments and ISPs have become more aggressive regarding data access.
