With the number of mobile devices, including phones and tablets, rising
from 7.7 billion in 2014 to more than 12.1 billion by 2018, users must
be prepared for both platform and app vulnerabilities to help keep
corporate and personal data safe.1 As mobile adoption surges, Trend
Micro Incorporated (TYO:
4704; TSE:
4704), a global leader in security software, reaffirmed today at Mobile
World Congress (MWC) its continued commitment to providing
enterprises and consumers alike with user-friendly security offerings
designed to combat today’s next-generation, sophisticated attacks.
“There is much more to the ‘Internet of Things’ than just smart home
devices,” said Eva Chen, Trend Micro CEO. “While connected devices offer
efficiencies and convenience, they are becoming increasingly vulnerable
to attacks, and mobile devices are among the most targeted platforms. As
mobile continues to become a mainstream vehicle for accessing corporate
data, businesses must be able to mitigate the unparalleled range of
cyber attacks that are constantly victimizing enterprises and
individuals.”
At MWC (Hall 6 – Booth 6L61 and Hall 8.0 – Booth 0D39), Trend Micro CEO
and co-founder, Eva Chen, along with other Trend Micro thought leaders,
will share the company’s commitment to enabling a safe online
experience, both in the workplace and at home. Demos will also be
conducted to highlight the company’s mobile security solutions,
encompassing enterprise and consumer offerings such as Trend Micro™ Safe
Mobile Workforce, Trend Micro™ Security Everywhere and Trend Micro™
Security at Home.

The collaborative framework makes it easy for devices and applications
to discover and communicate to each other, ensuring the interoperability
of the IoT. As a community member, Trend Micro will provide security
guidance and counsel to the AllSeen Alliance, in order to help further
protect the Internet of Things.
