Trend Micro offers new security options

MUMBAI: Antivirus and internet content security provider Trend Micro, Inc., has announced an initiative aimed at helping smaller businesses with little or no IT support to overcome the challenge of securing their networks, in the Indian market.

The first phase of 'Worry-Free Security' covers the latest versions of Trend Micro's antivirus and antivirus/ anti-spam solutions with added personal firewall protection: Client Server Security and Client Server Messaging Security for SMBs.

Composed of three strategic components -- automatic threat protection, all-in-one integrated defense against a variety of threats, and zero administration -- the initiative offloads the time and expertise required for protecting against viruses, worms, spyware, spam, trojans, and the loss of confidential information, the company stated.

Trend Micro Client Server Security for SMB 3.0 combines existing threat prevention technology with a new automated approach to provide seamless monitoring, response, and defense against numerous security threats -- from viruses to hackers.

Client Server Messaging Security for SMB 3.0 claims to provide protection against spam, phishing, and inappropriate email content. Acting as round-the-clock security, these solutions aim to assess, prevent, protect, and clean up attacks before they become costly problems.

"Often companies do not have a full IT support team, and even if they do, they may not have dedicated security experts. These organizations want a single solution -- with one single install and one product to manage -- that can help them secure their business automatically," said Rajesh Venkat, global director -- marketing, small and medium business, Trend Micro.
