Marlow, UK - Trend Micro Incorporated (TSE: 4704), a global leader in Internet content security, has integrated added data and identity theft protection for Intuit QuickBooks users within Trend Micro’s newly launched Worry-Free Business Security 5.0 for small businesses.  The protection feature for QuickBooks users helps protect QuickBooks data from unauthorised changes by other programs. 

Worry-Free Business Security 5.0 passed the Intuit Developer Network’s (IDN) technical review for QuickBooks integration and other product functionality.

QuickBooks protection is easy to deploy for customers of Worry-Free Business Security 5.0.  Users simply check the “Enable Intuit QuickBooks Protection” box found within the program, and the Behavior Monitoring component of Worry-Free Business Security 5.0 is activated to help protect QuickBooks data from unauthorised changes. The QuickBooks “folder lockdown” capability included in Trend Micro solution is a layer of added security to help protect QuickBooks users from data or identity theft.

“Small businesses have a lot on their plate, and dealing with security issues is a distraction from their core business,” said Steve Quane, executive general manager, SMB business unit, Trend Micro. “By building QuickBooks-specific protection into our leading solution for small business, we’re bringing added security that goes beyond what is expected.”

With approximately 3.7 million customers, QuickBooks is the leading financial accounting package for small businesses.  Trend Micro is the first company to extend small business security to this critical small business application for financial accounting.
