The move comes as part of the continuing strategy, whereby local branches are being established in the regions with a great market potential.

“We have watched with great interest the growth of the ICT industry in Southeast Asia,” explained Vladislav Nemec, Chief Executive Officer at TrustPort. “And our entry into the market was just a matter of time.

The grand event was attended by numerous journalists and other guests.

TrustPort South East Asia, aims to capture 10 percent of the regional data protection market within three years. “Southeast Asia is a crowded market.

We continue to work with partners, customers, the government and we get great help from TrustPort headquarters.

That combined with our value added partners, that we gained last year, and the successful online trading, we are confident that we will carry on growing fast. When you compare years 2010 and 2009, you can see that our global sales have doubled. We never stand still. Our aim is to ensure that we have both satisfied customers and satisfied partners.” TrustPort partners enjoy above-standard commission and first-class support, factors that have contributed largely to the existing success of TrustPort.

Brno, November the 9th, 2010 – TrustPort, a leading provider of internet security software,  is proud to be supporting UNICEF by making a financial donation to enable them to buy special kits for schools in developing countries. The school kits are not culturally specific so that they can be used anywhere in the world. TrustPort supports through its donation up to 240 students.

Vladislav Nemec, CEO at TrustPort says: “It is our pleasure here at TrustPort to participate with Unicef in this project. We see that education is essential in combating poverty and protecting children from exploitation, and access to appropriate learning materials is a fundamental aspect. Schools provide children with protection, stability, and a return to normalcy. This model bears a striking resemblance to the protection in which TrustPort products are effectively able to secure computers. We are aware of current global needs; not only to protect computers from malicious software, but also to protect children.“

The primary objective of these special school kits is to help re-establish learning as the first step towards the restoration of normal schooling following an emergency. However, it can also be used in development situations where a country suddenly faces an influx of students, e.g. if school fees are abolished at once.

“When we ensure that girls and boys receive a quality education, we create opportunities for children to build lives and realize their dreams. A quality basic education enhances lives and ends cycles of poverty and disease. UNICEF is grateful to TrustPort for their kind donation. The commitment of TrustPort to support UNICEF educational programs reflects its dedication towards measurable results for children. This contribution is sincerely appreciated.” said Pavla Gomba, General Director at Unicef Czech Republic.

At the same time, TrustPort is introducing new product bundles for securing of entire computer networks, under the umbrella title TrustPort Security Elements.

TrustPort has adapted to an established model, where manufacturers offer three alternative security solutions, side by side.

The new product line features a brand new user interface, resident and internet protection acceleration, optimized update methods, and a number of other enhancements.

TrustPort Security Elements are the solution, tailored to this starting point. The customer can choose a variant of the solution according to the scale and composition of their computer network. TrustPort Security Elements have four levels, ranging from traditional protection of endpoint computers, right up to advanced network protection at both the entry point and end point.

TrustPort Security Elements Basic protects individual endpoint computers, while allowing them to be remotely managed and updated. TrustPort Security Elements Advanced protects not only endpoint computers, but also file servers, where important company data is stored. TrustPort Security Elements Premium extends the previous level of security to include advanced antivirus and antispam protection at the entry point. TrustPort Security Elements Ultimate offers all of the above plus web filtering and data encryption. 

“The new product range meets the requirements of our customers and partners,” explains Vladislav Němec, Chief Executive Officer at TrustPort. “The choice of three different antivirus products with different scales of security coverage represents nowadays a known and expected standard. In addition, our customers can better compare our and competing products.” TrustPort Antivirus 2011, TrustPort Internet Security 2011, and TrustPort Total Protection 2011 will be soon joined by TrustPort USB Antivirus 2011, designed for the protection of portable media, which will enter the market in the following weeks.

Brno, May the 20th, 2010 – Independent comparative tests are necessary for the improvement of security software. PC Security Labs, a testing organization based in China, has recently published the results of its latest comparative testing. Thirty antivirus software manufacturers submitted their products, among them producers from America, Asia, Australia, and Europe. TrustPort scored well, and its software, TrustPort PC Security, ranked among the top four products.

PC Security Labs was established over two years ago in Beijing. It is the only independent research lab from China, which so far became member of the international Anti Malware Testing Standards Organization, associating scientists, testers and producers in the field of computer security. PC Security Labs performs regular comparative testing but recently started also one product testing. Testing reports are available on its website, both in Chinese and in English.

The latest comparative by PC Security Labs included thirty antivirus products and security suites. The testing method consisted of scanning on demand, using a malware set and a clean set. The malware set represented around one thousand top threats in the region; the clean set included popular software, downloaded and purchased in China. Two variables were measured, malware detection rate and false positives rate. Based on these two measurements, the final score was calculated.

TrustPort PC Security achieved an average false positive rate. However, it once again demonstrated outstanding performance, as far as detection rate goes. The security suite identified 99.3% of the malware samples. Only three competing products ended up with higher detection. All the best known antivirus manufacturers of the world scored significantly worse than the top four.

“We are of course delighted by the results of the test,” says Vladislav Němec, chief executive officer of TrustPort. “Our development team has worked hard to take our antivirus technology this far. At the same time, software innovation is a never ending process, meant to satisfy the evolving demands of our clients.” The latest testing results can be seen as a continuation of achievements from the past. TrustPort antivirus technology has been successful in the tests performed by West Coast Labs, Virus Bulletin, and AV-Comparatives recently. As a matter of fact, TrustPort often takes the topmost place of the chart.

TrustPort PC Security and TrustPort Antivirus are suitable for both home and business customers. Under the names TrustPort PC Security Business and TrustPort Antivirus Business, perfect security solutions are available, offering antivirus, antispyware and antispam, everything centrally managed using a single web console. For the protection of whole networks against malware and spam, TrustPort Net Gateway is a great choice.

Brno, April 8, 2010 – Today marked the release of a new security product called TrustPort eSign Pro. It is compact software which can be used for signing, encrypting and time stamping of electronic documents. Advantages of this product can be appreciated by customers in both the corporate and home segments. Its ease of use is combined with high security, secured by symmetric and asymmetric cryptography. TrustPort is introducing the product to the market at very favorable price conditions, which makes it the number one alternative for credible and discreet exchange of electronic documents.

During normal internet communication the document recipient has no guarantee that the document really comes from that sender and that along the way it has not been altered by anyone. To solve this problem, electronic signature technology was developed. Although electronic signature is not a new technology, its implementation has not yet been widespread. Complexity and cost of available existing software solutions that enable electronic signing is the possible cause of this condition. TrustPort eSign Pro comes as a product, which is ideal for typical users who require reliable, convenient, and an economical solution.

This new solution has not been developed out of nowhere. “This new product is built on proven technology that we have been developing for many years”, said Petr Vaněk, head of development department at TrustPort. “It gives users a number of functions, which are available literally after a few mouse clicks. Signing or encrypting an electronic document can be done by anyone, regardless of the user experience.” The documents can be processed individually or collectively simply by highlighting them in the operating system and choosing the corresponding command from the contextual menu.

Quick and simple operation with documents is enabled by the signing and encryption wizard. This useful tool allows users to choose which particular operation they wish to do with the selected files. On offer are signing of documents, encryption of documents, time stamping of documents, and simultaneous signing and encryption. In the case of a received document, it takes care of its decryption and signature verification. Among other interesting options there is also the possibility multiple document signing by several users, or the creation of a signature separate from the document.

“Our new solution is suitable for communication with government authorities, for business correspondence, and even for private communication,” states Marcela Parolková (photo), head of sales department at TrustPort. “It guarantees the authenticity of the documents sent in terms of their authorship, and ensures their confidentiality from unwanted readers. Generally speaking, it enables secure communications in a risky environment, which the internet undoubtedly is. Therefore we believe that it will find many satisfied customers.”

Electronic signing is subject to owning a digital certificate. Here it depends on the specific customer needs which certificate to choose. For example, for communication with government authorities, one needs to choose a certificate issued by a state recognized certification authority. In contrast, for internal communication, a certificate issued by a company certification authority is sufficient. TrustPort eSign Pro generates a request for a user certificate, which then just needs to be sent to the selected certificate authority. After the issuance and acceptation of the certificate, it can be imported into a protected storage of TrustPort eSign Pro, which excludes the possibility of its theft and misuse.

Unique capabilities of TrustPort eSign are signing, encryption and time stamping of PDF documents, without the need to use expensive original software for editing of PDF. In addition, the recipient of the PDF document, signed and encrypted in this way, does not need any other software for its decryption and signature verification, other than the widespread free application available for reading PDF documents.

Hyderabad, February 19, 2010 – Leading security software producer based out of Europe, TrustPort Inc., announced its foray into Indian market through its subsidiary, TrustPort India. Vladislav Němec, chief executive officer of TrustPort Inc., made this announcement to the media today. TrustPort India will have its marketing office at Mumbai and its operational and support services based out of Hyderabad.

According to a recent prognosis by IDC, spending in the field of information technologies will increase this year by 3.2% worldwide. More than a half of this growth should be generated in the so called new markets. The main drive of the growth will be the very promising markets of Brazil, Russia, India, and China. These countries alone should grow by 8 to 13% in the information technologies expenditures. Security software will be an integral part of the growth.

TrustPort is a security software producer based in the heart of Europe, in the city of Brno, renowned in the region for its support of innovative technologies. It has been developing an extensive partner network on all continents, reaching its products to both end users and corporate clients. India comes as a natural market for further business expansion of TrustPort. “We have watched with great interest the stable growth of information technologies in India,” explains Vladislav Němec. ”Our entrance to the market was just a matter of time, and the time is here.”

Reaching out to newer markets also means making provision for technical support. “We want our clients to feel that we care about their satisfaction,” reveals Roman Veleba, international sales manager at TrustPort Inc. “That is why we are establishing a round-the-clock support hotline at the technical support center in Hyderabad. Our clients may use the hotline for any questions regarding product installation, configuration, and troubleshooting.” Support center will typically resolve client’s problem within twenty four hours. “Hyderabad will be the hub for our operations,” adds Roman Veleba. “Besides technical support, product manufacturing, production and distribution will be done from Hyderabad. Hyderabad ranks high on our priority as this city offers pool of experienced networking and technical personnel besides its easy access to other parts of the country for logistical reasons.”

TrustPort has a wide product portfolio, suitable for the needs of diverse customers and diverse technologies. “Our primary focus in India will be TrustPort Antivirus, compact solution for personal computer protection, and TrustPort PC Security, comprehensive solution for versatile data protection,” says Vladislav Němec. “Both products provide antivirus, antispyware, and antispam protection; they guard the computer at all its entry points, including internet connection and removable memory media.”

These products use powerful antivirus technology, based on multiple scanning engines. Thanks to this technology, they regularly rank among the top antivirus solutions in the world, in terms of viruses and spyware detection.  Their counterparts, TrustPort Antivirus Business and TrustPort PC Security Business, offer in addition the possibility of central management on multiple workstations in a company network. TrustPort USB Antivirus supplements the portfolio with an inexpensive and effective protection of flash drives. 

TrustPort has market presence in almost sixty countries of the world, through its authorized partners. The aim of the company is to take advantage of its current comparative qualities and become a worldwide recognized alternative to the earlier established antivirus vendors.

Brno, January the 19th, 2010 – TrustPort Antivirus security product has been thoroughly tested by the well known West Coast Labs. The aim was to test the functionality and performance of this antivirus solution. Based on the tests carried out, TrustPort Antivirus received the Checkmark certification in the categories of Anti-Virus Desktop and Anti-Virus Disinfection. In addition to the periodic awards from Virus Bulletin and from AV-Comparatives, West Coast Labs Checkmark has become another key independent test, confirming the quality of TrustPort Antivirus.

West Coast Labs provides certification in a wide range of test categories, falling within areas of network security, content security, and malware protection. TrustPort Antivirus was tested in two categories of the last mentioned area. In the Anti-Virus Desktop category, the condition for the certification was that the product would detect all malicious codes from a submitted set of in-the-wild viruses. In the Anti-Virus Disinfection category, certification was based on the ability of the product to clean the computer from in-the-wild viruses, collected during the last twelve months.

“This renowned certification is further indication that the customers may completely rely on TrustPort Antivirus in terms of detection and disposal of malware,” commented the event Vladislav Němec (photo), chief executive officer of TrustPort. “It is also good to understand that the certified antimalware technology, being the cornerstone of TrustPort Antivirus, is contained in TrustPort PC Security and TrustPort Net Gateway as well. With all these products, the customers now have a fair assurance of quality.” 

To be truly effective, antivirus protection must be used at all entry points of the computer. This is why TrustPort Antivirus and TrustPort PC Security scan both the internet traffic, meaning incoming mail and browsed websites, and the memory media, connected to the computer. Computer security is further increased by the parental lock technology, which limits browsing of risky categories of websites.

“Our business partners are aware of our software quality but they need to illustrate it, especially to customers from the corporate segment and public administration,” said Marcela Parolková, head of sales department at TrustPort. “Thanks to continuing technological innovations, we have been lately at the top of independent comparative tests of security products. Now we have also acquired the major world certification, West Coast Labs Checkmark. We are sure that our partners will welcome this.”

TrustPort Antivirus and TrustPort PC Security are designed for both home users and corporate customers. Under the names TrustPort Antivirus Business and TrustPort PC Security Business, top security solutions are available, with central administration of all workstations in a corporate network.
