Trend Micro partners with Ingram Micro

The products will appear in more than 250 retailers in Australia including Harvey Norman, JB Hi-Fi, Officeworks, Dick Smith and Big W.

David Peterson, consumer segment director A/NZ Trend Micro said Ingram has represented the company well in the SMB and enterprise space since it went into partnership in November 2005.

"With our strong plans for growth in 2009 we are pleased Ingram Micro will now be adding our consumer range of PC-cillin Internet Security products to its portfolio," he said.

"Now that online identity theft and cybercrime are rampant, people are desperate for easy access to online protection they can trust.

"This new partnership with Ingram Micro and its 250 retail partners meets that need by making our popular web threat protection software available to more Australians."

Matt Sanderson, (pictured), senior director, Volume Business Unit and Consumer Sales for Ingram Micro said over the last six to 12 months, demand for software security products has increased despite the current economic climate.

"Ingram Micro is pleased to be adding Trend Micro's PC-cillin consumer range to our portfolio," said Sanderson.

"We've had great success with Trend Micro's SMB and Enterprise products, and we believe the opportunities for the consumer range will be equally strong."

Ingram Micro will distribute the latest version of Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security Pro 2009 (AUD$129.95 RRP inc GST), along with Trend Micro's other products, including Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security 2009 (AUD$99.95 RRP inc GST), and Trend Micro AntiVirus and AntiSpyware (AUD$39.95 RRP inc GST).
