Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704;TSE: 4704), a global cloud security leader, today announced a new initiative with subscription software licensing specialist NewLease to distribute the latest version of its Worry-Free Business Security solution in Australia.

With Trend Micro Worry-Free Business Security 8, machines are protected from viruses, spyware, spam, malicious websites, and more.  

Microsoft Windows Server 2012 Essentials gives small businesses the power to grow through an integrated approach that protects data, promotes flexible work styles, and simplifies the path to the cloud.  Specially designed with small businesses in mind it:

provides a central server that can automate important activities like online data backup and protection of computers

provides remote access to data from any internet connected location or device.

“Trend Micro has taken advantage of the built-in ability to include its security solutions in the single management console in Microsoft Windows Server 2012 Essentials,” said Mike Heald, ANZ Windows Server Product Manager, at Microsoft. “This enables the users to have ease of management of the entire IT infrastructure, including security, reducing management costs for channel partners and small businesses.”
“Correct Solutions has always recommended Trend Micro security solutions,  because of its commitment to providing leading edge solutions built for small businesses,” said Wayne Small of Correct Solutions   “Trend Micro’s new relationship with Microsoft,  around Windows Essentials Server 2012 reinforces this commitment to have the best solution for small business clients.  I have confidence in the partnership with Trend Micro.  Their ongoing solution range is truly 'Worry-Free' and has provided easy to install and manage security for customers.”

“Trend Micro’s Worry-Free Business Security solution represents a powerful tool for Managed Service Providers to support customer security needs.  As the leading software distributor for the service provider community in Australia, NewLease is looking forward to helping MSPs leverage the power of Trend Micro’s Worry-Free Business Security solutions to deliver best of breed security offerings,” said Boughty Canton, VP Product & Programs, NewLease.
