Trend Micro Incorporated, a global pioneer in security software, today announced an agreement with ASUS, a leading enterprise in the new digital era, which has agreed to embed Trend Micro’s newest solution, the Trend Micro™ Smart Home Network, into its wireless routers. The agreement will substantially strengthen security for smart devices in the home by integrating the combination of network management and security with parental controls.
The Smart Home Network Solution combined with the ASUS™ Home Router, with comprehensive Internet management features including security, quality of service (QoS), and parental control. As a home network security solution, it comprises the most comprehensive three-stage (prevention, protection and mitigation) smart network shielding process available to virtually fix vulnerabilities in home router and Internet-capable devices. The QoS also has the ability to intelligently prioritize Internet traffic by identifying more than 800 Internet applications, as well as 1,000 different Internet-capable devices across 25 hardware categories including mobile devices, smart TVs and gaming consoles. This will provide the experience of smooth-streaming HD videos, low-latency online gaming, crystal-clear VoIP calls, uninterrupted web browsing, and p2p downloading together in home network. Furthermore, for protection of minors, the Smart Home Network also embeds parental control functions to filter access to inappropriate Internet applications and web URLs.
“We are excited about the collaboration with Trend Micro to provide families with a secured and faster home network experience," said Tenlong Deng, vice president of Wireless Devices at ASUS. “ASUS wireless home router products enable home network security and optimize bandwidth efficiency while filtering Internet content based on users’ preferences."
Information security issues are emerging with the boom of the Internet of Everything (IoE), as Internet-connected devices, including smart phones, tablets, computers and laptops, gaming consoles and wearable technology, are increasing in popularity. Trend Micro’s threat defense experts have uncovered a zero-day backdoor of Netcore/Netis home routers, and up to two million home routers have been exposed to this vulnerability in homes and small businesses, according to the company’s blog posted on August 2014.
