Pacesetting Trend Micro Increases Availability of Its Security Protection for Multiple Platforms and Devices

CUPERTINO, Calif., Oct. 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Consumers continue to add more digital devices to their pockets and desktops—each American owns an average of seven to nine connected and high tech devices, according to Forrester Research—and now they can easily find a way to protect their computers, phones and tablets with a single software package. Shoppers at US retailers Best Buy, Staples, Office Depot and other retailers now can buy the new Titanium™ Maximum Security Premium Edition from Trend Micro™.  Two months ago, Trend Micro released the industry's first security software product bundle for protecting multiple devices and platforms, and today the company announced an extension to its product line with the new Trend Micro™ Titanium™ Maximum Security Premium Edition.

Titanium Maximum Security already has earned its position as the first software package to bundle protection for consumers on multiple types of computers and phones, including Windows PCs, Macs, mobile devices, and tablets, all in a single box.  The new Premium Edition offers even more security, adding protection for additional devices: Titanium Maximum Security for three Windows PCs, Smart Surfing for 3 Macs and Mobile Security for Android for three phones or tablets, along with additional storage for consumers' data with a 50 GB SafeSync account, all for just $99.99.

"Though our digital lives are rapidly expanding beyond our computers to mobile devices, tablets, and more, many consumers do not consider that, just as with their computers, these additional devices are vulnerable to online and digital threats," said Tobias Lee, vice president of marketing for the consumer business unit at Trend Micro. "Titanium Maximum Security Premium Edition provides consumers with a comprehensive security solution to protect their digital lives, empowering them to enjoy their technology safely."

Titanium Maximum Security has received a 4 1/2–star rating from the respected CNET industry news site and the highest possible rating, Advanced +, from AV Comparatives, the independent testing organization for anti-virus software.

Through this bundle solution, Titanium Maximum Security Premium Edition provides an all-in-one security product for protecting users, their devices and their data, it provides consumers with protection and access to all of their data from PCs, Mac and mobile devices. SafeSync is a cornerstone of the product, offering secure, real-time synchronization to protect, access and share files anytime, anywhere.

Titanium Maximum Security, which uses less than half the disk space and memory of other security products, works at the cloud level to proactively stop viruses and spyware before they reach the user's devices.
