Trend Micro IoT Security 2.0 Enhances End User Protection and Device Makers’ Reputation

Trend Micro Inc. announced the global launch of Trend Micro IoT Security (TMIS) 2.0 to help manufacturers and managed service providers improve the security of their products and the wider IoT ecosystem, while enabling them to drive competitive differentiation.

With most traditional security products, it's not possible for end users to install protection for IoT solutions by themselves, which is where TMIS 2.0 comes in.

"IoT threats are no longer theoretical: endpoints around the globe are being hijacked for data theft, attacked with ransomware and crypto-mining malware, conscripted into DDoS botnets and more," said Akihiko Omikawa, executive VP of Trend Micro. "It's vital that manufacturers step up to raise the bar on security. By integrating threat monitoring, detection and protection into the device itself, consumers and businesses will enhance their security from the moment they install and switch on TMIS 2.0. That's the kind of value the market is increasingly demanding of IoT device makers."

The TMIS 2.0 platform can be pre-installed onto IoT devices during the product development lifecycle, requiring minimum deployment effort and providing maximum protection through a range of system hardening and risk detection features.
