Trend Micro offers Mobile Security 8.0 upgradation

Trend Micro has brought in advancements to mobile security. It has launched Trend Micro Mobile Security (TMMS) 8.0 in the APAC region to meet the growing demands of mobile enterprise security market.

“BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) at work is a side effect of this growing mobile trend,” said Baburaj Varma, Head - Technical Services (India & SAARC), Trend Micro.

He added, “Gartner predicts that organizations who do not reinvest at least one third of their savings into mobile security will see a 25% increase in security incidents through 2015, which is why Trend Micro strongly encourages its customers to take necessary precautions on the mobile platform.”

TMMS 8.0 has won the 2012 NWA Best Endpoint and Mobile Device Security award as it enhances the enforcement of existing password and encryption policies as well as provides more granular remote wipe capabilities. It also introduces a mobile application management system that allows IT to automatically push corporate apps to iOS, Blackberry and Android devices. TMMS 8.0 is available as a plug-in for the Trend Micro OfficeScan solution.

"Pricing is per user, rather than per device, unlike much of the competition, and comes with volume based discounts," said a press note. It varies for new customer versus existing upgrade, but a new customer can expect to pay around $31.50 the 1st year for 500 users and $9.50 for subsequent years, per user. TMMS 8.0 is available in English at launch, followed by French, German and Japanese languages later in the summer. TMMS 8.0 is available via our network of resellers.
