Strategic Security Layers Provide Comprehensive Messaging
Protection to Safeguard Email and Other Methods of Electronic
Communication CUPERTINO, Calif., Feb. 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Trend Micro Incorporated (TSE:4704)(NASDAQ:TMIC), a leader in
network antivirus and content security, today revealed key advances
to its layered messaging security strategy. Layered messaging
security within the Trend Micro(TM) Enterprise Protection Strategy
framework helps enable improved, comprehensive messaging protection
in large organizations. A layered security approach guards against
combinations of internal and external threats including spam,
phishing, viruses and other malware as well as bulk mail attacks
and threats to data security. The success of a layered security
approach depends on the deployment of the most appropriate types of
protection at the most effective points in the network. Trend Micro
helps organizations deploy the right mix of products and
technologies at the proper points of their IT infrastructure to
effectively and efficiently mitigate the business risks arising
from various messaging threats. This includes email protection,
complementary Web security, and extended messaging security,
protecting various methods of electronic communication on which
organizations increasingly depend. Threats to the messaging
infrastructure have become more sophisticated and harder to detect.
Different types of email attacks are often combined to create
blended threats and attacks often extend across both messaging and
the Web. Email security can block emails with links to malicious
Websites, while Web security can block dangerous transmissions and
downloads. In light of this growing complexity of threats, an
integrated, layered defense is required to provide comprehensive
threat protection. Email Protection at the Core of Messaging
Security Corporate email has become the primary means of business
communication, making it crucial to protect this critical
correspondence. Trend Micro places layered email security at the
core of its approach to messaging protection. Both gateway email
security and mail server security are needed to provide complete
protection. The gateway is the earliest and most efficient point to
stop attacks that originate outside of the organization and is the
only point at which incoming spam, phishing, and bulk email attacks
can be completely blocked from entering the network, preserving
bandwidth and storage. It is also the last opportunity to stop
sensitive information from leaving the network. To best address
threat prevention at the gateway, Trend Micro is releasing enhanced
versions of the Trend Micro InterScan(TM) Messaging Security
solution in multiple form-factors: software, appliance, and a new
hosted service. By integrating powerful technologies, including
reputation services, anti-spam, and antivirus scanning engines, as
well as content filtering, Trend Micro provides customers proven,
reliable email gateway security protection. There are also many
threats that originate within the organization and are most
appropriately addressed at the mail server. The mail server is the
only central inspection point for internal communications, the
first opportunity to look at outgoing email, and often the place at
which storage, archiving, and regulatory requirements are
addressed. Mail server security also provides the ability to
continue inspecting incoming messages and routinely scan the mail
store. Trend Micro ScanMail(TM) provides businesses comprehensive
mail server protection against inbound, outbound, and interoffice
email security risks. It is available for Microsoft(TM) Exchange
with a new Microsoft Exchange version released soon, and is also
available for Lotus(TM) Domino(TM). "Email is the primary
communication tool for most businesses. However, internal and
external email threats continue to pose security challenges to
business," commented Brian Burke, research manager at IDC. "An
integrated and layered approach to messaging security is needed to
protect against the multiple types and entry points of messaging
threats. When provided by a single vendor, an integrated solution
can offer a cost effective alternative to a multi-vendor approach
in addition to offering easier management and support." Extended
Messaging Security Goes Beyond Email In addition to providing
extensive Web protection, Trend Micro's Web security products
provide complementary protection for messaging security. These
products stop transmissions to phishing related Web sites, scan Web
mail for viruses, and prevent the download of pharming crimeware,
key-logging Trojans, and other malware, that threaten confidential
information, often from malicious sites promoted in email. To
achieve comprehensive messaging security, organizations need
protection that spans email and Web-based protocols. There is
growing awareness of the need to secure additional electronic
communication and collaboration tools. This need mirrors the growth
in use, attacks and often compliance obligations associated with
these tools. For customers using a Microsoft network environment,
Trend Micro has extended its proven security technologies to
protect Instant Messaging and collaborative tools, creating a
"better together" approach to security. "Attackers continue to
create new and more sophisticated threats. Organizations need
messaging protection that can defend against single threats and
blended threats, including attacks that expand beyond messaging
into the Web and other network points," said Max Cheng, general
manager of Trend Micro enterprise business operations. "Trend Micro
provides integrated and layered multi-threat messaging security as
part of its Enterprise Protection Strategy. By using a single
vendor for security with simplified updates, coordinated
administration, and for all network security support, our customers
are given a more complete security defense with a lower
cost-of-ownership." This layered approach helps enterprises
maintain the security and availability of critical messaging and
other IT infrastructure. It helps minimize administration, improve
employee productivity, and reduce infrastructure cost. At the same
time, Trend Micro helps organizations mitigate the risk of data
leakage and misuse helping to prevent legal or regulatory expenses,
the loss of customers, and the erosion of corporate reputation.
