Alarming internet threat level affecting Middle East business

Visitors to the event will hear how Trend Micro's innovative 'Smart Protection Network,' a client-cloud solution identifies and responds to the next-generation web threats that are here today.

The latest regional security survey and statistics on internet threat levels also will be made available and discussed.

"Web threats are a major concern for regional businesses, often resulting in severe financial implications. Trend Micro has been participating in Gitex for nine years, and with the region's IT industry being one of the fastest growing in the world, the event provides the perfect platform to educate regional businesses on how best they can protect themselves."

said Ian Cochrane (Trend Micro Regional Marketing Manager).

In addition to demonstrating its products and services, the security vendor will be looking to enhance its relationships with both its partners and resellers.

Trend Micro is a 100% channel focused sales organization and will promote the products, services and tools available that help resellers profitably support their customers.

The company will also demonstrate new innovations in appliance security, Data Leakage Protection, Messaging Archiving as well as enhancements to its entire product range.

Potential customers will be educated on specific solutions that support enterprises of all sizes, by senior managers and technology experts present from Trend Micro's regional and global operations.

"In this region, business and social interaction over the Web is growing exponentially. Unfortunately, criminal activity is big business and also growing. With new Malware being released every few seconds, the game-plan has changed and Trend Micro is fortunately uniquely positioned to respond to that threat."

added Cochrane.
