“As our lives and activities have moved increasingly online, so too has the risk and rise of identity theft. 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. With our new Trend Micro Premium Security Suite, we are offering our customers the ability to protect their personal information online – in an easy way that does not require an advanced IT degree.”
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.
