Trend Micro™ Titanium Revolutionises Content Security for Consumers

Powerful cloud-based security blocks threats before they reach your computer

Marlow, UK – 8th September 2010 – Trend Micro Incorporated, a global leader in the fight against cybercrime, today released Titanium, a new security software that provides a completely new way to protect consumers. Powered by the Trend Micro Smart Protection Network, Titanium offers significantly faster response times to threats compared to conventional security software.

The Titanium range, which includes Titanium™ Antivirus+, Titanium™ Internet Security, and Titanium™ Maximum Security, offers a new, different and better way of protecting customers by stopping web threats in the cloud before they reach PCs. Despite the sophisticated security, Titanium remains discreetly in the background safeguarding against threats without impacting the speed or performance of a device.

“The numbers involved in online crime are truly staggering, whether that is the number of bad web sites, malicious files, or simply the amount of money that is made by online criminals”, said Anthony O’Mara, SVP of EMEA at Trend Micro. “We have completely re-engineered this security solution to cope with this huge volume of threat.  Independent tests* show that our solution is best at stopping threats before they even reach your computer without the need for you to ever update your security software.”
 
Titanium 2011 transforms the customer experience across a number of key benchmarks, including faster scan times, lower memory and CPU usage, balancing thoroughness with efficiency. Additional benefits include faster boot time, quicker file copying, a smaller installer size, and full scan capabilities.

Configuration is simple, since default settings are optimised for each user right out of the box and can be easily modified. Intuitive security reports with simple screens and graphs provide users with everything they need to understand their computer’s security status. The security dashboard shows protection status at a glance and annoying pop-ups and interruption notifications have been eliminated.

The Titanium Maximum Security version adds easy-to-use options including secure erase, remote file lock in case of computer theft, a system tuner, and 10GB of secure online backup and sync with sharing features. The software also helps parents keep their children safe from cyber criminals and inappropriate content when they go online and can fight spam and other unsolicited commercial e-mail.
