The consequences of this malicious activity can have a significant impact on the lives of the victims for years to come,” said Hernan Armbruster, vice president, Americas sales for Trend Micro. “The vast amount of personal data available online is not protected at a level that matches that same volume.

Recent Trend Micro research also found that although concern for cyber threats remains high, it’s the user’s behavior that puts them at risk. Nearly half of the respondents confirmed they don’t use a password manager, which puts them at risk of weak or reused passwords. Nearly half of the respondents said they use public WiFi, which potentially also puts their personal information at risk.

“In the first half of this year alone, Trend Micro blocked more than 27 billion threats, confirming that threats such as viruses, malware, and ransomware continue to be a major concern for consumers. Including our award-winning consumer product, Maximum Security, into our new Premium Security Suite ensures that our users continue to receive the strongest protection against all threats,” Armbruster added.

The new version of Trend Micro Premium Security Suite is available immediately at trendmicro.com, Best Buy, and other leading electronic retailers. All current customers will be automatically upgraded to the latest version in the coming weeks at no additional cost.
