Vodafone UK this week announced that it has expanded its business security services to include protection for business customers’ laptops and desktops.
Trend Micro’s ‘Worry-Free’ service is a new detection service to protect businesses and their employees from online security threats such as ransomware, out-of-date applications, and phishing attacks on desktops and laptops.
As part of the new service, Vodafone will offer customers the following Trend Micro Worry-Free features:
• anti-ransomware protection – providing the latest technologies to protect businesses against the latest crypto and ransomware threats;
• URL filtering – compares webpages against a database to prevent employees from accessing un-productive and harmful sites such as phishing web pages;
• data protection – provides tools to prevent sensitive data from leaving the business via email, USB, CD/DVD, for example;
• smart protection network – this uses a global network of threat intelligence sensors to continually update email, web, and file reputation databases in the cloud, identifying and blocking threats in real time to improve performance and protection;
• cloud dashboard for centralised management – providing complete control of the security of all devices, wherever they are, with a cloud-based dashboard accessible via a web browser;
• tailored options – ensuring customers only pay for the protection they need.
The service is compatible across Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS devices as well as Microsoft 365, G-Suite, Box, Dropbox and Salesforce cloud services.
In addition to Trend Micro, Vodafone offers a number of specialist cyber security solutions for business customers, such as its Lookout Mobile Security and Vodafone Cloud backup to secure a full range of devices and cloud applications.
