Trend Micro Incorporated, a provider of cybersecurity solutions, has offered Egyptian small and medium-sized enterprises a threat cloud-based protection solution that is absolutely maintenance-free
Worry Free Services Advanced, powered by Trend Micro XGen ™ security, infuses high fidelity machine learning to provide comprehensive cover against ransomware and advanced threats.
Employees in Egyptian SMBs utilise a number of endpoint devices, ranging from a laptop to smartphones and tablets. Each of these endpoints (devices) is a potential entry point for malware and ransomware can enter the SMB’s network. Security is further put at risk with employees connecting their own personal machined and devices onto the company’s network.
Noura Hassan, managing director of Trend Micro, North Africa and Levant, said, “Across the country, The Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) trend of employees using personal mobile devices and laptops for work is putting added security risks on the SMBs network.”
“Our Worry-Free Services Advanced, is hosted in the cloud and maintained by Trend Micro, which means that the customer will never have to apply a patch, hotfix, or worry about upgrade ever again. Trend Micro will ensure that the SMB is always protected with the most up-to-date protection, allowing the SMB to focus on their business,” he continued.
Trend Micro revealed that it has seen significant growth in the number of SMBs reporting security breaches, especially through their email and use of web not just in Egypt, but across North Africa and Levant region. Malware, phishing and related types of attacks are more frequent, it added.
Trend Micro’s Worry-Free Services Advanced allows for SMBs to enforce security policy for employees anywhere, whether in the office or at home.
This cloud-based, enterprise-grade security is designed specifically for small businesses, with centralised control for Windows, Mac, and mobile devices. The management console allows for managing of multiple device platforms with one online console, so one can access it anywhere.
