AV-TEST’s April 2018 Windows Home User Test Report Shows 100% Protection Result and Top Product Award for Trend Micro Internet Security

Maintaining its Top Product protection rating, Trend Micro Internet Security 12.0 (2018) continues to show 100% Protection results in tests conducted by the internationally respected testing lab AV-TEST.org . In its Mar-Apr 2018 test of 18 endpoint security products on Windows 10, the latest release of Trend Micro Internet Security blocked 100% of 196 “real-world” 0-day attacks and 100% of 5484 widespread and prevalent malwares, while showing no false positives for 1,615,677 software samples that were also tested. It also received a 5.5 Performance rating, showing less impact on computer speed than the average endpoint security product in three out of five tests. With zero false warnings when visiting 500 websites, zero false detections of 1,615,677 samples of legitimate software, and zero false blockages while installing and using 42 samples of legitimate software, its 6.0 Usability rating also bested ten of the other endpoint security products tested. This test result closely mirrors that of the Jan-Feb 2018 test of 18 endpoint security products tested on Windows 7 conducted by AV-TEST, where Trend Micro Internet Security (2018) previously obtained a Top Product award and 100% Real-World Protection against 228 0-day malware attacks, inclusive of web and e-mail threats, as well as 100% detection of 4,877 samples of widespread and prevalent malware discovered over the past 4 weeks prior to the test. Its Performance rating of 6.0 was superior to eleven of the other third-party endpoint security products tested. Its Usability rating of 6.0 reflected zero false warnings when visiting 500 websites, zero false detections of 1,514,806 samples of legitimate software, and zero false warnings or blockages when performing actions during install and use of 51 samples of legitimate software. Independent lab testing of anti-virus programs, as conducted by AV-TEST, is a key way for users to cross-check any protection claims made by anti-virus companies or programmers. In lab test after test, Trend Micro Internet Security consistently ranks among the top performers, providing independent proof of the quality of its protection and the low impact it has on your system.

Security company in Bellevue vandalized

BELLEVUE, Neb. (KMTV) - An Omaha home security company based out of Bellevue is using its own camera to help track down a thief who stole items from outside their building. Chris Malmberg, the owner of Omaha Security Systems Inc. says an unidentified man stole nearly $300 worth of landscaping Sunday night. "The motion sensors went off and I got a notification on my phone that he was there. We saw him take the plants, we watched him drive away and then immediately contacted police," said Malmberg. "He was real nervous, but he ended up stealing shrubbery, Hosta plants, I mean - never in my life have I ever known somebody to steal landscaping." Malmberg said the plants could be replaced, but what's frustrating is that this is one of several vandalism incidents his business has experienced since OSSI moved into the building near Jefferson and Mission Ave. "We've had vandalism, we've had items stolen, or attempted to be stolen, with the security that we...

Study: Majority of U.S. Broadband Households Concerned About Security of IoT Devices

As Internet-connected devices become more ubiquitous, security and privacy concerns of end users are also on the rise. Simply installing security systems in smart homes is no longer enough. Security integrators must also consider bolstering cybersecurity measures when installing their systems. A recently released whitepaper from IoT research firm Parks Associates, titled “Residential Security and Encryption: Setting the Standard, Protecting Consumers,” reveals that 64% of U.S. broadband households are concerned about security and privacy when using their connected devices. Parks Associates also found that the majority of homeowners assume security integrators are addressing their cybersecurity concerns. In fact, a Parks Associates survey of U.S. security owners found 63% of professionally monitored subscribers believe the wireless signals from their system are encrypted, even though encryption is currently not the industry-wide standard. While the whitepaper outlines a few ...

Ring Alarm review: A great DIY home security system with the potential to become even better

Ring builds some of our favorite video doorbells and security camera/outdoor lighting mashups. Now the company—recently acquired by Amazon—is moving inside the home with a strong and inexpensive DIY home security system: Ring Alarm. It’s a fantastic product today, and Ring says it will only get better with time. Ring Alarm is positioned as a mainstream home security system, and while you won’t find a great deal of innovation here (there’s nothing like the Nest Detect sensor that comes with the much-more-expensive Nest Secure system , for example), it’s already equipped with everything it needs to grow into a comprehensive smart home system. Ring Alarm doesn’t support smart lighting controls, door locks, thermostats, garage-door openers, or other common smart home products today, and there’s a very short list of supported third-party products. But it lacks nothing needed to support those and similar devices down the road. And in an intervi...
