Trend Micro, a global player in content security, has announced upgrades to its Worry- Free Business Security, with version 9.0, to equip small- and medium-size businesses (SMBs) with enterprise-grade security capabilities that address and mitigate threats across endpoints, from desktops to mobile. The offering is the only SMB solution available that provides complete user protection with integrated mobile device security with the option of cloud management.

“Since SMBs are more acutely affected by BYOD and consumerisation, Trend Micro is committed to providing dynamic, yet affordable, solutions that deliver greater functionality and ease-of-use,” said Dhanya Thakkar, Managing Director, India & SEA, Trend Micro. “The ability to protect data across a business, regardless of who has access, is essential to a comprehensive approach to security. With integrated mobile device protection, Worry-Free Business Security 9.0 helps companies secure critical business information whether in the office or on-the-go.”

According to IDC, from 2012 to 2013, the use of BYOD smartphones in small businesses increased from 53%  to 88%. During the same period, BYOD tablet usage increased from 30% to 56 %. These trends reinforce the growing need for SMBs to adapt their security strategy and provide protection for all endpoints—from PCs and Macs, to mobile platforms.
