Both Surfshark and Norton Secure VPN utilize AES-256 encryption algorithm for their VPN services - which is good to see, especially since AES-256 is considered the industry standard and arguably the most secure encryption algorithm today.

Should your organization use Surfshark or Norton Secure VPN? In my opinion, it's clear-cut that most organizations should opt to use Surfshark over Norton Secure VPN. While Norton Secure VPN performs well, it simply lacks many features we expect in a modern VPN. In particular, Norton Secure VPN's server network spanning only 28 countries is too small compared to Surfshark's 100-country and 3,200-server network and infrastructure.

My comparison of Surfshark and Norton Secure VPN involved hands-on time with both VPNs and an extensive assessment of each service's features, cost and real-world performance.
