Great move on behalf of Trend Micro.

Ransomware has indeed proven to be a formidable threat against the financial status of users and enterprised alike, while at the same time it poses a threat for the integrity of the users' data.

Specialized software that target this threat type is bound to be sought after by end-users and businesses alike.

One of the pioneers in this type of security software was Malwarebytes Anti-Ransomware, which had a sucessful launch and it was accepted by their customer base.

It will be interesting to watch to say the least.

good strategy for trend micro. ransomware-focused product is unavoidable considering ever-growing ransomware threat and it's financial damage. I believe more AV vendor will be join this trend. I noticed that emsisoft, malwarebytes, winpatrol (win anti ransom), kaspersky and eset have been goes under same direction with trend micro.
