New Trend Micro™ SafeSync for Business Offers Enhanced Usability and Availability Through Easier Navigation

CUPERTINO, Calif., Nov. 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), a global leader in Internet content security, today announced the latest version of Trend Micro™ SafeSync for Business, the single tool that enables organizations to easily and securely access, share, and synchronize files and folders from anywhere, anytime, and from any device. Among other enhancements, the new release features an enhanced look and feel, simplified sync functionality and expanded support for Mac users. The new offering goes further than ever in enabling companies to cut costs and raise productivity, whether employees are in the office, on the road or at home.

"Most businesses now face a challenging reality: Critical data is now typically spread out over multiple devices, from traditional PCs to the newest mobile devices, and all of this information must be protected while remaining easily accessible," said TJ Alldridge, product manager for small business solutions at Trend Micro. "As business networks become increasingly heterogeneous, particularly through the ubiquity of emerging mobile devices, this kind of solution will become even more important. The new SafeSync for Business is designed for exactly this environment—it protects important files while easing the constraints of mobility, ensuring users can more easily access, share and sync their data from wherever they are."

What's New in SafeSync for Business:

New service enhancements SafeSync for Business include:

• Credible - 99.9% Service level, backed by a money-back service level agreement

New features of SafeSync for Business include:

• Look and Feel – It's easier to navigate, with simpler settings and options
• Drag & Drop – Users can simply drag and drop files into the new SafeSync Folder and have them sync with the cloud immediately
• Mobility - The SafeSync Folder goes on any device where the SafeSync client or mobile app has been installed, without further configuration. Data can also be accessed through any web browser
• Create your own SafeSync Folders – There's no need to move files into a separate SafeSync Folder; a right-click on any folder brings up the options to 'Make this a SafeSync Folder' and sync to the cloud automatically
• Better control - Users can selectively sync folders on different computers and mobile devices so as not to take up too much space on any one

"SafeSync for Business is now even easier to use and install, offering broader platform coverage and greater peace of mind with its improved service-level agreement," said Stacy Nethercoat, vice president of software product marketing at Tech Data, a Trend Micro distributor.  "We are pleased to offer SafeSync for Business to our channel of over 60,000 resellers, enabling them to add this class-leading solution to their portfolios."
