New Content Security Module Represents Latest Effort From the Two
Partners to Deliver on Their Shared Vision of Integrating Security
Software and Intelligence Into the Network Infrastructure
CUPERTINO, Calif., Feb. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Trend Micro,
Inc. (TSE:4704)(NASDAQ:TMIC), a leader in antivirus and content
security, today announced that it is enabling new content security
offerings for the Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) 5500
Series family of security appliances that offer organizations
customized and comprehensive protection against a variety of
security threats. The Cisco ASA 5500 Series Content Security and
Control Security Services Module (CSC-SSM) marks the latest
offering developed by the two companies. This new services card
provides universal threat prevention and content control at the
network edge, delivering antivirus, anti-spyware, anti-spam,
anti-phishing, URL blocking and filtering, and content filtering
services from Trend Micro. These content security offerings also
complement the Cisco ASA 5500 Series' other unified threat services
including advanced Firewall, Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS),
and Virtual Private Network (VPN). Supported by Trend Micro
TrendLabs(SM), the CSC-SSM receives real-time, anti-threat
intelligence to help ensure customers remain protected from
malicious content. The module provides Cisco ASA customers with the
flexibility to defend against unpredictable and complex threats in
a single managed appliance. Announced today at RSA, the CSC-SSM
follows the two companies' collaborative effort in delivering the
Cisco Incident Control System (ICS) in September 2005. The CSC-SSM
also exemplifies the two companies' strategic objective to
integrate multi-layered, multi-threat security into the network
infrastructure. "Providing rich and flexible content security
offerings for the Cisco ASA 5500 Series is one of the major ways we
are reaffirming our position as key global leaders in gateway
security," said Eva Chen, CEO of Trend Micro. "We are extremely
pleased with the momentum we are building with Cisco Systems. Our
shared commitment to provide the most comprehensive and flexible
network security solutions enables us to help protect customers
against threats that are increasingly unpredictable and complex."
With the emergence of new digital threats that can strike in a
blended fashion at any time, Trend Micro is helping Cisco enhance
its ASA product family to provide much more comprehensive security
that meets today's security challenges. With Trend Micro providing
content security support, the Cisco ASA 5500 series can now monitor
inbound and outbound HTTP, SMTP, POP3, and FTP traffic at the
network gateway. The Cisco ASA 5500 Series sends data through the
CSC-SSM, and any suspect or unauthorized content is subsequently
removed preventing such threats from entering the network. In
addition to providing content security for the Cisco ASA, Trend
Micro also plays a role in enhancing centralized management of
multiple CSC-SSMs through Trend Micro Control Manager, the
company's central management console. "Cisco and Trend Micro are
committed to provide customers with market-leading solutions in
network and content security," said Richard Palmer, senior vice
president and general manager, Cisco Security Technology Group.
"Trend Micro's award-winning gateway protection allows us to
deliver the value of integrated, multi-function security at the
network edge. This new addition also underscores Cisco's
Self-Defending Network security strategy which helps organizations
around the world identify, prevent, and adapt to the changing
Internet threat environment and help protect critical investments."
