Three Languages, Two Regions, One Web Threat Landscape - Single Security Source Required
Dubai, United Arab Emirates: Trend Micro is now the official supplier of network antivirus and Internet content security software and services to the Body Treat & Travel Company, Thailand.
After working with trial software, the Thai resort-style health facility - which combines UAE trade show appearances with an energetic web presence in order to attract visitors from the Gulf region - is protecting its interests by using Trend Micro Worry Free Security applications.
The adoption of Trend Micro by the Bangkok-based spa and wellness specialists is a significant indicator of the changing character of international small and medium businesses (SMBs).
Just a decade ago, it would have been unusual to have such an ambitious cross-border small enterprise. In the 21st century these patterns are regular business practice, albeit accompanied by new problems. Among these is the constant threat posed by malware, spyware, and viruses.
"Using Trend Micro will really boost the security of the company. The TrendLabs Malware Blog is required reading," said Yupha Moonsarn, General Manager, Body Treat and Travel.
"Our commitment to the Gulf region means that Body Treat & Travel's routine email traffic is in at least three languages - Arabic, Thai and English making suspect file attachments hard to identify by sight alone," she added.
"Trend Micro is pleased to support a SMB while it establishes its presence in the region," said Ian Cochrane, Marketing Manager, Trend Micro Middle East and Africa.
"Although the Body Treat & Travel office is half a world away, the problems they face over there are on our doorstep too," he added, underscoring the Trend Micro's commitment to fighting online fraud and malicious software.
By warning of the dangers of malicious software and new forms of hi-tech fraud, Trend Micro hopes to ensure that the use of new technology in SMB activity in the Gulf region will not be accompanied by a parallel growth in fraud.
