Fast, effective, online security protection for small/medium business; Trend
Micro's new Worry-Free Business Security 7 for Macs and PC

OTTAWA, Nov. 2 /CNW/ - With an overwhelming 1.5 new web threats generated every second, Canada's small and medium-sized business owners are faced with the daily worries of protecting their businesses from online loss of information, slow computer performance, identity theft and privacy violations. The new Trend Micro Worry-Free 7 Business Security suite of products now offers a, simple, fast and effective solution to businesses without the in house expertise, budget or time to be as vigilant about cyber security as larger companies.

What's New about Worry-Free 7 Business Security: Stopping threats before impact

In independent tests¹, Trend Micro Worry-Free Business Security is rated best at blocking threats before they reach computers, file servers, and mail servers.  New Worry-Free 7 features are threefold:

• Integrated Mac-client protection: Worry-Free 7's single management console includes security status and configuration for both Windows and Mac platforms.
  
  
• Email data loss prevention: Businesses can now prevent accidental or deliberate loss of data and/or intellectual property through email.
  
  
• USB control: Businesses can restrict access to USB ports to prevent anyone copying information to portable USB drives and to prevent threats from originating from USB drives.

"Worry-Free 7 is safe, smart and simple. Small and medium sized business customers need effective data loss prevention solutions that don't require expensive and cumbersome IT solutions.  Worry-Free 7's new capabilities for email data loss prevention, Mac-client protection and device control are designed with the needs and budgets of small businesses in mind." said Ian Gordon, Trend Micro Canada's Director of Channels and Marketing.

"Many small businesses think of security as a burden because of cost and complexity. But in reality, security is an enabler of advanced capabilities that can then be delivered safely to on-site and remote workers. By helping to simplify and manage comprehensive security resources, Trend Micro will improve the ability of small businesses to address internal and external threats -- threats that might otherwise slow the adoption of advanced technology needed to stay competitive, said Ray Boggs, vice president SMB research, for IDC.
