DALLAS, Dec. 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Trend Micro
Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), a global leader in security
software and solutions, has signed a strategic OEM agreement with
HP to help enterprises combat advanced targeted threats and custom
malware. The HP TippingPoint Advanced Threat Appliance (ATA) family
of products leverages the power of Trend Micro™ Deep Discovery to
provide customers with a single, integrated solution for detection
and enforcement. The solution identifies malware through static,
dynamic and behavioral techniques to block and neutralize threats
before critical business data is compromised.
"We are very pleased to have been selected by HP after its
comprehensive and rigorous review of market-leading breach
detection systems," said Partha
Panda, vice president of global channels and alliances,
Trend Micro. "This agreement further validates the quality and
effectiveness of our solution. It is a natural extension to our
long-standing partnership with HP, and will help further accelerate
the adoption of Trend Micro's capabilities to combat next
generation threats. Now, HP customers can detect, block and
investigate targeted attacks with a comprehensive, integrated
solution."
Deep Discovery is trusted by enterprises globally in a broad
range of industries. It was designed to provide comprehensive, 360
degree visibility of cybercriminal activity to detect targeted
attacks, custom malware, C&C communications and suspicious
activities invisible to standard security solutions. Unlike other
solutions, Deep Discovery:
- Scans all network ports and more than 80 network protocols, in
addition to web and email traffic
- Detects threats by using custom sandbox images that match
system configurations
- Uses multiple threat detection techniques to identify a broad
set of attack signatures across a range of endpoints and mobile
devices, including Microsoft Windows, Apple OS X, and Android
Custom sandboxing is an essential part of an effective breach
detection solution, enabling enterprises to prevent evasion based
on generic configuration checks by identifying and evaluating
custom malware to determine if it is a threat.
In a recent independent and comprehensive test of six global
security companies by NSS Labs, Trend Micro Deep Discovery earned
the highest score in breach detection (99.1 percent) with zero
false positives and low total cost of ownership – more than 25
percent below the average of all products tested.
"Today's threat landscape calls for organizations to have a
thorough, layered security strategy that not only identifies
threats, but takes action to neutralize and block them," said
Rob Greer, vice president and
general manager, TippingPoint, Enterprise Security Products, HP.
"Now with the Trend Micro Deep Discovery technology, HP
TippingPoint offers an added level of visibility and intelligence
that in coordination with HP's Intrusion Prevention System (IPS)
and Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW), enables customers to detect
and neutralize a targeted attack at the initial point of
infection."
HP TippingPoint Advanced Threat Appliance will be available
early 2015 from HP and its channel partners. For more information,
