DALLAS, April 2, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Trend Micro
Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), a global leader in security
software and solutions, today announced that Trend Micro™ Deep
Discovery™ 3.5 earned the top score for overall breach detection
rate in NSS Labs' Breach Detection Systems (BDS) Group Test. Trend
Micro also had the second lowest cost of ownership among the field.
The NSS Security Value Map™ and Comparative Analysis reports
evaluated threat detection appliances from six global security
companies.
"Earning the highest rating in threat detection from a
well-respected testing organization, such as NSS Labs, re-confirms
our leadership in fast-evolving security challenges," said
Eva Chen, CEO, Trend Micro. "Trend
Micro Deep Discovery supports a comprehensive approach to security
that enables organizations to protect data, communication and
intellectual property in a cost-effective manner. As our industry
continues to be overrun with marketing hype around defense against
targeted attacks, this validation of Trend Micro's capabilities
illustrates to security pros the advantages we deliver."
As advanced threats and targeted attacks continue to surge, the
NSS Labs report provides customers with an impartial, third-party
resource confirming Deep Discovery as one of the most effective
threat detection solutions within a reasonable operating expense.
Trend Micro's 99.1 percent score in this testing secured a
"recommended" rating from NSS Labs. In addition, Deep Discovery
registered zero false positives and received a 100 percent rating
for detecting email-based malware and exploits.
Trend Micro's exceptional performance from a single appliance is
another point of distinction that creates efficiencies in terms of
costs. Deep Discovery's overall total cost of ownership was
25 percent less expensive than the test group average.
Deep Discovery's leadership in threat detection is bolstered by
the hundreds of enterprise and government customers worldwide that
have relied on its capabilities since its launch in 2012, including
the Republic National Distributing Company, the second largest
distributor of premium wine and spirits in the U.S.
"In its first two months on our network, Deep Discovery has
spotted and stopped 5,000 anonymous events on our WAN that were not
caught by any other security layer," said John Dickson, director, IT Infrastructure,
Republic National Distributing Company. "Each of those events could
have potentially led to a major outbreak such as Conficker. Trend
Micro has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that its technology
works as advertised."
