New Beta Version Provides Security, Performance and Integration
Enhancements to Proven Threat Protection Technology CUPERTINO,
Calif., Feb. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Trend Micro Incorporated
(TSE:4704)(NASDAQ:TMIC), a leader in network antivirus and content
security software and services today announced that the latest beta
version of Trend Micro(TM) ScanMail(TM) for Exchange is now
available. This beta version of Trend Micro ScanMail for Exchange
Server 2007 and earlier versions of Exchange continues to provide
businesses proven protection against a multitude of email-borne
threats including spam and phishing and viruses, plus inappropriate
content. The solution now also includes dedicated spyware and
zero-day protection for improved web-threat security as well. Trend
Micro originally pioneered server-based, email virus protection in
1997 with the launch of ScanMail and since this time Trend Micro
has continued to work on the development of its messaging hygiene
solutions, and this latest beta version offers a number of
additional benefits to customers. The new beta version of ScanMail
for Exchange helps to consolidate infrastructure and reduces
administration and cost through providing email security on one
single, centrally managed platform. Through continued performance
optimizations and integration to the Microsoft infrastructure, it
can help to reduce mail server impact and management. As a result,
businesses can enjoy solid mail server security that protects
critical business communications with few ongoing costs. In
addition to continuing its protection of earlier versions of
Exchange, Trend Micro has also taken advantage of the new security
features within Exchange Server 2007, to deliver an advanced,
dedicated security solution to its customers. For example, the beta
version provides native x64-bit support, plus full support for the
Microsoft(TM) Intelligent Message Filter (IMF) and disaster
recovery clusters. It also integrates seamlessly with Microsoft
Operations Manager (MoM) and supports the Microsoft Systems
Management Server silent installation for easier deployment and
management. And the new antivirus stamp in Exchange Server 2007
enables Trend Micro to provide incremental scanning for improved
efficiency. "Organizations of all sizes, including the
most-demanding enterprises trust ScanMail for Exchange for proven
content-security and messaging protection with little ongoing
administration," said Max Cheng, general manager Trend Micro
enterprise business operations. "With the recent release of
Exchange Server 2007, and its new built-in features, Trend Micro is
able to deliver an even higher performing, tighter integrated and
easier to manage mail server security solution." Content-security
threats today are becoming ever-more evasive, combining multiple
techniques, most commonly in an attempt to acquire valuable data
and information for monetary gain. In order to remain protected
against such insidious threats, an in-depth multi-layered approach
based on proven technologies should be deployed. Messaging security
at the gateway or in-the-cloud helps stop inbound threats as early
as possible. Mail server security extends inspection throughout
email infrastructure (including the mail store) and network
security helps safeguard the network, reduce down time, ensure
business reputation and meet compliance requirements. The need for
this comprehensive, layered security can be seen in recent attacks
such as TROJ_SMALL.EDW/ WORM_NUWAR.CQ in which a Web threat
includes a malicious Trojan horse program (TROJ_SMALL.EDW). This
Trojan can arrive on a system as a file dropped by other malware,
specifically WORM_NUWAR.CQ, a mass-mailing worm. The Trojan can
also be delivered as a file attached to a spammed email message.
When infection occurs this way, the malware carried by the email
uses the Web to find the Trojan downloader, which in turn downloads
additional components. In order to effectively prevent and protect
against such blended attacks, a combination of messaging security
solutions is required. Additional network security products enable
businesses to block access to the malicious site and/or the
download of additional malware. Together these solutions can
provide a deeply layered defence against complex attacks involving
both email and the web. Availability and Pricing Trend Micro
ScanMail for Microsoft Exchange will be available to purchase in
April 2007. For further information regarding ScanMail beta for
