TrendMicro's Worry-Free Business Security 7

Computer security vendor TrendMicro believes the latest version of its Worry-Free Business Security software will keep customers from having sleepless nights over network security issues.

It said small and medium businesses (SMBs) often have limited resources to allocate for IT security, and have to face threats such as malware attacks and data leakages through portable secondary storage devices and e-mail.

TrendMicro's Worry-Free Business Security 7 is designed to tackle such problems, allowing SMBs to focus on running their businesses. The product comes in standard and advanced versions.

Among the new features is e-mail data-loss protection, which enables businesses to keep their sensitive information private by discovering, monitoring and preventing accidental or deliberate loss of data through their e-mail system.

The software can be configured to look out for certain keywords in an e-mail message and can prevent an employee from sending the message out, TrendMicro explained. However, this feature is only available in the advanced version of the product.

There is also a device control feature that can prevent accidental data leakage via a portable storage device, such as thumbdrives. TrendMicro's product can enable business owners to limit the number of employees who can use thumbdrives on office computers.

Unauthorised thumbdrives will not work unless the user has the proper authorisation.

It is claimed that Worry-Free Business Security 7 also stops network threats before they reach the business systems.

This is achieved with the help of TrendMicro's smart-protection network-infrastructure that scans, filters and correlates more than 3.2 terabytes of data and blocks about five billion threats a day.

Worry-Free Business Security 7 is available now and pricing varies according to seat count. The advanced version costs USD 58 per user for two to 25 seats per year. The standard version is USD 34 per user for two to 25 seats for the same period.

How to Manage The Rising Tide Of Mobile Video

While social networking continues to explode and consumers transfer their daily Web habits to the mobile phone, there is a struggle simmering in the background for network operators to keep up with the demand. Carriers are especially feeling the impact of mobile video content’s speedy growth and the zealous use of it by subscribers around the globe.

Industry analysts predict by 2014, video will make up 66% of all mobile data traffic.1 This certainly isn’t surprising when you consider that the expected number of global mobile video/TV users will jump from approximately 250 million in 2010 to about 450 million in 2014.2
This is just a small sampling of industry research and analysis that points to consumers’ unquenchable thirst for mobile video. In part this desire is driven by the wave of new video-enabled mobile devices, video has redefined mobile networks and placed a premium on bandwidth—a demand the current networks can’t support.

On the horizon is 4G, marketed as the miracle cure for data congestion. Some consider it a band-aid solution, while others see it as a universal panacea. Yet the reality is that mobile carriers are seeking solutions today to deal with the expanding mobile Internet and, more specifically, the increasing use of mobile-video applications.
There is certainly no magic bullet. But with a combined approach, involving the adjustment of both carrier infrastructure and content delivery strategies, the industry will be able to curb the skyrocketing network-congestion problem.

Final Ratification for LTE-Advanced

4G Americas, a wireless industry trade association representing the 3GPP family of technologies, today applauded the final ratification of LTE-Advanced as an offical 4G standard by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).

Both LTE Advanced and WirelessMAN-Advanced (802.16m) are the real deal — ITU sanctioned 4G standards. Both will deliver up to 100 Mbps (mobile) and up to 1 Gbps (fixed). In order to deliver those speeds, however, both need 20 Mhz wide channels and up to 4×4 MIMO antennas on both the receiver and basestation.

In its October meeting, ITU’s Radiocommunication Sector (ITU-R) completed the assessment of six candidate submissions and reached a milestone by deciding on LTE-Advanced and WirelessMAN-Advanced for the first release of IMT-Advanced, their package of offical 4G standards.

Final ratification of the full IMT-Advanced technology family took place at the ITU-R Study Group meeting on November 22 and 23, 2010 in Geneva, Switzerland.

The standards will now move into the final stage of the IMT-Advanced process, which provides for the development in early 2012 of an ITU-R Recommendation specifying the in-depth technical standards for these radio technologies.

“This day is a milestone to remember for mobile broadband connectivity,” said Chris Pearson, President of 4G Americas. The future for mobile broadband technologies has never been brighter to help progress societies in the Americas and throughout the world.”
