Trend Micro Delivers New Worry-Free(TM) Security Solutions Designed for Small Businesses and eCommerce Sites

Worry-Free(TM) Business Security 5.0 and Worry-Free(TM) SecureSite(TM) provide better security against evolving Web threats and for an increasingly mobile workforce.

CUPERTINO, Calif., June 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Trend Micro Incorporated , a global leader in Internet content security, has enhanced its flagship Worry-Free Security Solutions, first introduced over four years ago, with a radically new and upgraded line for small businesses and eCommerce sites that require smarter, better-performing technology to conquer a more sophisticated Web threat landscape that has mutated beyond conventional viruses and spam. The Worry-Free Business Security 5.0 line, created for small businesses; and Trend Micro's first eCommerce security, Worry-Free SecureSite, build upon Trend Micro's commitment to create safer, smarter, simpler solutions specifically small businesses that want to protect their assets, their customer information and, most importantly, their reputation.

In addition to conventional protection against spyware, viruses, spam, phishing and inappropriate Web content, these augmented solutions have features that not only address changing Web and email threats, but differences in the way people work compared to four years ago. For example, with a more mobile workforce, customers of Worry-Free Business Security 5.0 will benefit from the "location-awareness" feature that automatically changes Worry-Free security settings on laptops depending if employees are inside or outside the office. Company data is protected even when employees are using an outside wireless connection. And with email as a primary form of communication within companies, the issue of spam congesting networks is an annoyance for most. The new Worry-Free line provides multi-layer spam protection by blocking spam before reaching networks.

Trend Micro is introducing the following new solutions:

Worry-Free SecureSite

A completely new solution within the Worry-Free line, SecureSite is designed for eCommerce online retailers whose revenue and brand-reputation depend upon the security of their Web site. A hosted service, Worry-Free SecureSite protects online shoppers from hackers working to exploit them by stealing credit card numbers, passwords and other important digital information. Threats and vulnerabilities from the Web are quickly identified and averted through Trend Micro's worldwide network of threat experts.
