We had the pleasure of chatting with Albert Kramer, Technical Manager Continental Europe Trend Micro, at WMworld; we talked about security.

 

How does Trend Micro face the small and medium businesses market that is so widespread in Italy?
Trend Micro offers different product for private users and companies, in particular we have two solutions for the protection of small-medium companies and another for the bigger ones, so that we can offer a specific product for every kind of client.

The small and medium companies solution can be directly managed by Trend Micro for the companies that haven’t got an IT staff, or it can be managed by an internal/external IT if present.
The more advanced version of the Worry-Free Business Security suite that we offer on the SMB market can handle servers, virtual machines, mobile devices and mail servers without any particular difficulty on a technical aspect.

 

That naturally doesn’t mean to exclude the bigger companies…

No, we have indeed a 360° product line for every needs.
In addition to a dedicated suite for the Enterprise tier companies, we support the integration with VMware NSX and we even offer dedicated solutions for datacenters and cloud infrastructures.

 

And how do you relate with respect to Managed Service Providers and resellers?
We have a program of actions and products dedicated to this category of users with specific solutions for MSPs, hosted security systems for, say, email security and management dashboards with SSO features.

A really complete offering even for a category so heterogeneous and hard to fulfill.
