Trend Micro(TM) SafeSync for Business(TM) Allows Small Business Owners to Protect, Share and Sync Data Remotely
Available across PC, mobile phone and tablets
CUPERTINO, Calif., -- Trend Micro Incorporated (TSE: 4704), a global leader in Internet content security, announced today Trend Micro(TM) SafeSync for Business(TM) to help even the smallest companies securely save, manage and access their digital files from anywhere at any time, while increasing productivity by enabling file sharing between co-workers and clients.
Using secure cloud-based technology, SafeSync for Business is designed to let users easily access and share all their data while ensuring that they are protected, saved and up to date across multiple computers and mobile devices via the innovative synchronization technology. SafeSync also keeps an additional, up to date, copy in the cloud that can be accessed from any web enabled device or used in case of hardware failure or loss. SafeSync eliminates the need to manually move files from one PC to another, which is not only time-consuming but more subject to data loss. The result is superior organization of data and the ability to quickly and easily share and backup digital files.
According to a recent Trend Micro survey, only 12 percent of small businesses are not using smartphones for business use, while 43 percent of businesses say at least one or more of their employees use tablets to access their IT systems. "We know that the majority of small business owners are juggling multiple devices and don't have a server to help backup and protect their sensitive data," said Dan Conlon, Engineering Director and Developer at Trend Micro. "We're excited to be able to offer an affordable and easy-to-use solution to protect their files whether they're in the office, at home or on the road that won't slow them down."
Product Features
With SafeSync for Business, users will receive continuous updates and improvements, and small businesses will be protected from data loss because SafeSync for Business can replace or complement existing back-up systems.
Companies can also collaborate internally or externally with shared folders. The sharing function allows employees to share their files with co-workers and clients anytime, anywhere. This not only improves employee productivity but also removes the need for expensive and complex on premise storage equipment, which may be a reason why some small businesses aren't adopting servers. Trend Micro's survey also found that 42 percent of businesses with three to 10 PCs say they have no file server at all.

-- Secure Online data storage and back up with synchronization

"Trend Micro's SafeSync (for Business) allows our business to be more diverse and dynamic, sharing and protecting data," said Robert Box of RadioWorks. "We can now enhance the business by getting full use of new generation computing, safe in the knowledge that there will never be that sinking feeling you associate with the words 'I've lost my iPad.'"
Trend Micro's survey also highlighted that almost half (45 percent) of small businesses have no formal backup methods for their devices. Trend Micro SafeSync for Business is designed to continuously secure user files, by syncing the changes users make across all their personal data access devices and cloud storage location.
Additional benefits for users of the service include easy data recovery, simple instant sharing, remote access from any web enabled device, security, and more. These features all enhance productivity, which is top of mind as results from the survey found that business owners feel that external sharing of data was considered the most important element for driving "more efficient business processes."
