“The home network is getting more complicated and dangerous than ever with more IoT devices showing up,” said Dr. Terence Liu, vice president of network threat defense technology group at Trend Micro.

“It’s critical to have visibility and security over home gateways and IoT devices at home. Trend Micro and ASUS are committed to carry on this duty with our virtual patch and web threat protection. Our solution, backed up by professional and expert researchers, provides defense capabilities that can tackle evolving threats in a timely manner.”

Trend Micro recently detected and stopped new IoT malware families, Mirai and Hajime1. These malware families were set up in IoT devices to power recent cyber attacks led by botnets in home networks. The Trend Micro Smart Home Network helps customers stop issues that may possibly result in cybercrime or occupying the home network.

“The Smart Home Network solution by Trend Micro does a great job of making home networks even more secure,” said Tenlong Deng, vice president of the wireless device business unit for ASUS. “Trend Micro and ASUS are working together to continuously enhance security solutions on our wireless routers against new security threats and make sure our customers can safely enjoy their digital lives.”
