Geofencing Isn’t a Security Strategy
In partnership with
World’s First Safe AI-Native Browser
AI should work for you, not the other way around. Yet most AI tools still make you do the work first—explaining context, rewriting prompts, and starting over again and again.
Norton Neo is different. It is the world’s first safe AI-native browser, built to understand what you’re doing as you browse, search, and work—so you don’t lose value to endless prompting. You can prompt Neo when you want, but you don’t have to over-explain—Neo already has the context.
Why Neo is different
Context-aware AI that reduces prompting
Privacy and security built into the browser
Configurable memory — you control what’s remembered
As AI gets more powerful, Neo is built to make it useful, trustworthy, and friction-light.
IP-Based Location Is Easily Spoofed
VPNs, proxies, and cloud exit nodes make geographic controls unreliable. Just because traffic appears “local” doesn’t mean it’s legitimate.
Blocking Foreign Countries Creates Blind Spots
Many attackers launch from domestic IPs or compromise local infrastructure. Geoblocking gives a false sense of safety — and may block legitimate access.
Threats Come From Inside the Fence
Employees traveling, remote contractors, or partners may operate from abroad. A rigid geofence either blocks business or forces insecure workarounds.

Cloud Environments Blur Geographic Lines
Microservices span regions, and multi-cloud deployments shift traffic constantly. Enforcement based on IP or location often breaks under modern architecture.
Geofencing Doesn’t Stop Credential Abuse
Once credentials are stolen, attackers login from “approved” regions. Location checks alone can’t stop a valid session with malicious intent.
Use Geolocation as a Signal, Not a Gatekeeper
Context-aware authentication should weigh location along with device, behavior, and history. But never trust geography alone — it’s just one factor among many.
