Bengaluru, July 25 (IANS) As cybersecurity threats loom, LIC Mutual Fund on Tuesday mandated cybersecurity firm Trend Micro to secure its endpoints, network and data centres.

"This partnership helped us combat the challenges of securing and protecting our data and network from potential security risks," said Prashant Thakkar, Chief Technology Officer, LIC Mutual Fund Asset Management Limited, in a statement.

The financial product advisor deployed Trend Micro solutions which provided visibility into potential security threats and increased protection against zero-day vulnerabilities.
