Nov 7 (Reuters) - Gen Digital (GEN.O) beat second-quarter revenue estimates on Tuesday as rising digital threats and hacks drove stable demand for its cybersecurity products, sending the company's shares more than 3% higher before the bell. Growing worries about privacy and cyber attacks have in the past year supported demand for cybersecurity services. Gen Digital, which brings in a large chunk of its revenue from products aimed at consumers, has also leaned on its freemium options to spark demand at a time of high inflation. Gen Digital, whose products also include security solutions like firewalls, narrowed its fiscal year 2024 expectations to a range of $3.81 billion to $3.84 billion, from $3.80 billion to $3.85 billion previously. Annual earnings per share is expected between $1.95 to $2.00 per share, compared with its earlier forecast of $1.95 to $2.02 per share.
