HONG
KONG, CHINA – Media OutReach – 3 June
2019 – Trend Micro
Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), a global leader in cybersecurity
solutions, today announced partnerships with several leading cybersecurity
training providers to help businesses protect their employees from the latest
cyber threats. To ensure customers have a wide variety of training styles and
formats, Trend Micro is teaming up with four leading partners:  NINJIO, InfoSec, 
NextTech Security, and  GoldPhish.

 

The
new training materials are available on Trend Micro’s Phish
Insight tool, which is a free, highly flexible security awareness
solution. This new educational platform will offer customers a diverse library
of training content to enhance employee awareness initiatives and arm
organizations with the resources they need to improve overall enterprise
security.

 

“All
businesses today are susceptible to socially engineered phishing emails and BEC
attacks, which can cause severe financial and reputational damage,” said Wendy
Moore, vice president of product marketing for Trend Micro. “We want to help
make the digital world safer, and have partnered with four leading
organizations from around the world to offer educational resources to
complement our free Phish Insight tool. Adding educational resources allow
companies to not only test their employees’ security awareness, but also
improve this awareness.”

 

Reported
BEC attacks cost global businesses nearly $1.3 billion
in 2018, more than any other threat category, and phishing emails are linked to
a third of
data breaches and 94% of malware occurring last year. The latest
improvements to Phish Insight will enable businesses to better train staff to
curb the impact of these threats.

 

In
line with customer feedback, Trend Micro is working with multiple proven
training providers to offer a wide range of content to fit the broadest
possible variety of organizational cultures — whether that’s a more
conservative teaching style or animated story telling. Some firms will prefer
micro learning experiences for their employees whereas other will prefer longer
more detailed training sessions, the key is to have enough choice to meet this
demand.

 

Customers
will have access to the content that best fits their needs with no contracts or
subscriptions, completely free for the first six months during a beta period.
