Trend Micro’s SMB Security Solutions Ace “Real-World” Threat Protection Tests

Kuala Lumpur, Nov. 30, 2011 -- Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704;TSE: 4704), a global cloud security leader, takes the top spot in real-world threat protection with its Trend Micro Worry-Free™ Business Security, which out-performed all other SMB security products in both reliability and depth of protection. The Trend Micro security solution, uniquely engineered for small and mid-size business IT environments, leads the industry in overall protection against web threats – as measured by independent test labs.*

According to IDC Asia/Pacific security research**, new security threats are growing exponentially in terms of complexity with the growing diversity of operating systems among companies, as well as the growing use of mobile devices. Organizations face various malicious attacks including exploitation of application and operating system vulnerabilities, insider sabotages and purloining, identity fraud, and unauthorized access to corporate systems and networks. With today’s constantly changing threat landscape, SMB customers need superb, enterprise-strength protection that is easy to use and customized for smaller organizations.

Traditional static detection testing only identifies infected files after they have landed on the computer, which is just not good enough. Trend Micro subjects its solutions to rigorous real-world tests that measure total protection provided by security products. In real-world tests, all attack samples are sourced live from the Internet at the same time, presented to the tested products simultaneously, using realistic attack vectors, and all security layers and countermeasures within a product are given the opportunity to block an attack sample. After completely evaluating Worry-Free Business Security defenses, real-world testing has demonstrated that it provides a superior level of protection.

“With the growing diversity of operating systems among companies, as well as the growing use of mobile devices, SMBs face many of the same information security risks that large enterprises do,” said Goh Chee Hoh, Managing Director, SEA region, Trend Micro Inc. “Designed for SMBs, Worry-Free is a cost-effective product that provides fast, effective, simple protection against viruses, cybercriminals and data loss, and it has consistently received positive feedback and been favored by our existing clients, so we are very pleased to come out on top in the real-world user environment. In fact, we have witnessed impressive double-digit sales growth in the Asia Pacific market.”

Trend Worry-Free Business Security is a top-performing endpoint security solution, specifically engineered for SMB environments, and powered by the Trend Micro Smart Protection Network™, a leading cloud technology that uses a global network of threat intelligence sensors to update, identify and block threats in real time.
