PR Newswire (US)
CUPERTINO, Calif., Nov. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Trend Micro
Incorporated (TSE:4704TSE:Nasdaq:TSE:TMIC), a leader in antivirus
and Internet content security, today announced key advances in its
gateway messaging security offerings, introducing a SMTP email
gateway solution that provides enhanced multilayered protection
against viruses, worms, spam, phishing, and other security threats.
The solution consists of three tightly integrated components: an
enhanced version of InterScan(TM) Messaging Security Suite, Trend
Micro(TM) Spam Prevention Solution, and Trend Micro(TM) Network
Reputation Services. Together, they form a stalwart defense against
a variety of threats, however many enhancements made to this
integrated solution involve stronger anti-spam protection and
greater support for messaging compliance. These enhancements are
designed to confront growing security problems, such as
spam-enabled phishing attacks. According to research by Trend
Micro, phishing is jeopardizing both personal and corporate
information at an alarming rate. For example, 21 percent of
respondents who had fallen victim to a phishing attack at work
reported that their corporate data had been compromised. As the
volume of spam continues to rise -- in 2004, the ITU reported that
80 percent of global email was considered spam -- businesses must
consider tackling these security problems upstream rather than rely
solely on content filtering products. Trend Micro's email and
messaging security solution addresses this need while providing an
added benefit of offloading storage and processing overhead from
the IT infrastructure. The three solution offerings include: --
InterScan Messaging Security Suite (IMSS) Trend Micro InterScan
Messaging Security Suite provides award-winning antivirus
technology, anti-spyware protection, messaging compliance, content
filtering, and an optional spam prevention solution to mitigate
mixed-threat attacks at the Internet messaging gateway. This
integrated protection provides enterprise organizations with a
single line of defense against a variety of security threats. --
Trend Micro Spam Prevention Solution (SPS) The Spam Prevention
Solution, which easily integrates with IMSS at the messaging
gateway, features a composite anti-spam engine that enables
multilingual spam detection and signature- and heuristics-based
protection. -- Network Reputation Services (NRS) Network Reputation
Services block spam at its source, before it enters the network
environment. The service leverages a reputation database of 1.6
billion suspect IP addresses to block unwarranted emails. NRS drops
a significant volume of spam at the connection level, before it
reaches the gateway for content inspection. While NRS enables
businesses to rely on more than just content filtering, it also
offloads storage and processing power typically required for
filtering unwanted email. All three offerings can be used together
or as standalone offerings that are compatible with existing
security systems, making this solution extremely flexible for
businesses to incorporate. "Spam has evolved from being merely an
undesired content issue to a more serious network problem, which in
turn impacts business operations and end-user security," said Dave
Rand, chief technologist of Trend Micro Internet Content Security.
"This enhanced SMTP email gateway security ensures message
compliance and minimizes the risks of spam-enabled phishing attacks
and other email-borne threats." Availability and Pricing: Each
Trend Micro component -- an enhanced version of InterScan Messaging
Security Suite, Trend Micro Spam Prevention Solution, and Trend
Micro Network Reputation Services -- is available immediately in
North America. North American pricing for each product and service
is as follows: -- InterScan Messaging Security Suite (IMSS) has an
SRP of $12.75/user for 501 users -- Trend Micro Spam Prevention
Solution (SPS) has an SRP of 11.96/user for 501 users -- Network
