Security software firm Trend Micro Incorporated today announced a joint collaboration with Broadcom Corporation in the development of an integrated security solution 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, ” added Thakkar.
As the proliferation of network applications becomes more inter-weaved 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.
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,” commented Thakkar.
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.
Broadcom’s 5G WiFi XStream technology delivers twice the bandwidth of existing 802.11ac routers and gateways, and provides advanced software to double the performance of today’s Wi-Fi devices for high-definition (HD) streaming and data consumption.
“Trend Micro’s proven leadership in cyber security technology is a tremendous asset for the home gateway. While easy to use and configure, it is also highly effective in monitoring and blocking
potential security threats. Broadcom’s market leading 5G WiFi and 5G WiFi XStream platforms provide the high performance needed to seamlessly run Trend Micro’s advanced security solution,” said Rahul Patel, Vice President and General Manager – Wireless Connectivity, Broadcom.
