DALLAS, Feb. 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- As
high-profile targeted attacks expand and evolve, enterprises must
guard against complex, often invisible threats. Trend Micro
Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), a global security software
leader, today announced its collaboration with HP to combat
advanced threats. The combination of Trend Micro™ Deep Discovery, a
critical capability of Trend Micro's Smart Protection Platform that
goes beyond the limitations of standard defenses to detect and
analyze attacks in real-time, with HP TippingPoint, a
market-leading solution that actively prevents network intrusion
and contains threats – will help enterprises achieve a new level of
defense against advanced threats. To further prevent attacks, Deep
Discovery reports incidents to HP ArcSight, HP's market-leading
security information and event management (SIEM) solution, for
in-depth correlation and analysis, and will also share threat data
with HP's Threat Central platform.
"We have heard loud and clear from CIOs that targeted attacks
and advanced threats are a primary concern, and defending against
them must be part of a broader strategy of detection and prevention
that integrates existing network defenses," said Partha Panda, vice president of global channels
and alliances, Trend Micro. "Working with one of the most respected
names in technology and security is truly invigorating and
validates Trend Micro's efforts to develop comprehensive solutions
that contain targeted attacks before they can damage networks and
compromise sensitive data while allowing customers to take full
advantage of their existing investments on security products and
technologies."
Trend Micro™ Deep Discovery proactively detects targeted attacks
and advanced threats, identifies threat characteristics and
communicates actionable intelligence to HP TippingPoint for
immediate blocking. Deep Discovery also reports incidents to HP
ArcSight to allow deeper investigation and data sharing with HP's
Threat Central platform.
"Cyber criminals are going well beyond traditional malware and
conventional attack vectors, and enterprises need protection that
keeps pace and adapts faster than the adversaries," said
Rob Greer, vice president and
general manager, TippingPoint, Enterprise Security Products, HP.
"Collaborating with pioneering security software companies like
Trend Micro supports our mission to deliver the most comprehensive
solutions on the market to block and remediate advanced
threats."
Deep Discovery's custom sandboxing technology offers HP ArcSight
and HP TippingPoint customers tailored detection against specific
environments to pinpoint evasive threats in real-time. Enterprises
can also leverage the global threat intelligence of Trend Micro's
Smart Protection Network™ and HP's Threat Central platform in order
to securely share threat intelligence data.
Unlike competitors' piecemeal technology, this offering is the
first of its kind, uniting network intrusion prevention, next
generation firewall, sandboxing and SIEM elements to provide
complete defense against targeted attacks and advanced threats.
Customers will have greater peace of mind with improved protection
from sophisticated attacks, now and in the future. For easy
management, network intrusion prevention can be activated from a
single console to keep desktops, laptops and mobile devices safe –
which is ideal as BYOD and consumerization continue to
proliferate.
Demonstrations of the Trend Micro, HP solution will be conducted
during the 2014 RSA Conference in San
Francisco, Feb. 24-28 at booth
No. 2601, Moscone North Hall. For more information about HP
TippingPoint Advanced Threat API, Anthony
Woolf, senior director, product management, HP, will be
presenting with Trend Micro at 6:45
p.m. on Monday, Feb. 24 at the
Trend Micro booth, No. 2601.
