Trend Micro and Broadcom team up for offering Home Gateway Security Solution
Trend Micro Incorporated has announced a joint collaboration with Broadcom Corporation in the development of an integrated security solution optimized to protect home security networks from cyber threats and improve network visibility without compromising performance.
“Our integrated security solution for the home network gateway is unique to the market with its easy-to-use, yet powerful capabilities,” said Dhanya Thakkar, Managing Director, India & SEA, Trend Micro. “With malicious traffic being blocked and security events being tracked and monitored, home users will be able to enjoy improved clarity of their Internet usage habits and an improved user experience. Trend Micro’s proven leadership in cyber security technology is a tremendous asset for this home offering”.
As the proliferation of network applications becomes more interweaved with emerging smart appliances and wearable technology, new challenges have emerged for home gateways, including easier access to unacceptable content, poorly configured software stacks and growing cyber-attacks related to Internet of Things (IoT) gadgets. IoT refers to how everyday products and appliances are increasingly being designed and manufactured with Internet connectivity in mind. Today’s Internet-connected products range from TVs and refrigerators to cars.
The IoT trend should constantly remind users that anything and everything that can go online can be hacked. “Our ongoing collaboration with Broadcom will lead to advanced solutions optimized to effectively protect against would-be cyber criminals emerging from the evolving IoT ecosystem.”
Trend Micro’s home security solution utilizes enterprise-level anti-intrusion, a home gateway configuration integrity check and server reputation services designed to protect Internet connected devices from exploits, safeguarding privacy and valuable information. It is configured for IoT devices, network applications, software vulnerabilities and URL reputation, and enables users to manage their entire home network environment. With the ability to identify more than 1,000 devices and 3,000 applications, the legacy traffic prioritization function improves granularity and efficiency. The parental control functionality is also more effective at managing Internet usage.
