The Worry-Free difference: Stopping threats before they reach businesses
In independent tests, Worry-Free Business Security is rated best at blocking threats BEFORE they reach your computers, file servers, and mail servers. It achieves this through the power of the Trend Micro Smart Protection network infrastructure, which scans, filters and correlates in the cloud more than 3.2 terabytes of data and blocks over 5 billion threats every single day. The Smart Protection Network then leverages this data to rapidly identify and respond to emerging threats, blocking them before they impact a business, and improving the existing response to known threats. And because the majority of the work is done in the cloud, not directly on computers, performance is optimized so small businesses can focus on their business.
The company claims to be the only security vendor that offers this type of critical tool, which allows channel partners to manage multiple customers using multiple products from a single console free of charge to eligible channel solution partners.
