NortonLive Ultimate Help Desk Now Supports Macs
Norton by Symantec announced expansion of its NortonLive Ultimate Help Desk service to include support for Mac computers and applications.
This personal IT help desk service for consumers and small businesses with up to 10 computers now offers multi-platform support for Mac OS systems and applications, as well as Windows-based systems and many digital devices. With Norton market research finding that U.S. households have an average of 4.5 devices between desktop computers, laptops tablets, mobile phones and more, Ultimate Help Desk provides one-stop remote help that’s easy, convenient and affordable compared to expensive and often time consuming in-store or in-home services.
According to a recent Norton research study[1], 11 percent of U.S. households use a combination of PC- and Mac-based computer systems at home. Both PC and Mac users cited performance degradation and Internet connection problems as the most common issues encountered. One in four PC owners and one in three Mac owners expressed interest in a third-party technical support plan that would provide year-round technical service coverage for all of their computers and electronic devices.
“For households and small offices with mixed environments of PCs and Macs, NortonLive Ultimate Help Desk provides an easy-to-use service that supports a heterogeneous computing environment,” said Kevin Chapman, vice president and general manager, Worldwide Consumer Services, Symantec. “Problems commonly arise at the most inopportune moments and with Ultimate Help Desk users now have access to technical experts anytime they need troubleshooting or remediation regardless of the platform they are using.” Read more

Trend Micro Tackles Data Protection and Consumerization Needs with Integrated OfficeScan Release
Trend Micro announced enhancements to its OfficeScan, Mobile Security and Data Protection solutions, which includes the ability to integrate management of security, data protection, and mobile management.
This allows IT organizations to reduce the costs and complexity required to protect their users, data and computing assets.
While businesses have worked diligently to reduce incoming IT threats in recent years, they have struggled to keep up with emerging ‘multi-faceted’ security concerns related to data loss, virtualization, cloud migration, mobile device management and consumerization. A recent Trend Micro study shows that IT departments serving more than 200 users have added security point solutions at an alarming rate – in some cases they have a dozen types of software, each with a different directory, administration console and server.
“We have quickly found ourselves in a situation where IT organizations must consolidate their security solutions, or risk errors and solution gaps due to this added complexity,” said Ron Clarkson, Trend Micro’s senior director, endpoint business. “The good news is, Trend Micro has anticipated this situation and provides a reliable way out of it.” Read more
