Johannesburg, 19 Jan 2011

SecureData Africa, part of JSE-listed SecureData Holdings, the sole sub-Saharan distributor for Trend Micro, today announced an NAS (Network Attached Storage) solution that includes built-in anti-virus designed to prevent the spread of viruses within workplaces and home offices. Trend Micro NAS Security's anti-virus technology is built directly into the NAS itself and requires no extra installation for fast, simple protection.

“Trend Micro NAS Security is optimised for NAS-based Linux operating systems and helps prevent malware infections,” commented Lee Bristow, Product Manager at SecureData for Trend Micro products.

“The product provides comprehensive protection against computer viruses, Trojans, and worms. When these files are uploaded to an NAS, Trend Micro NAS Security is able to scan these files in real-time. An intuitive, Web-based management console makes it easy to use, while at the same time providing centralised virus scanning, pattern updates, event reporting and anti-virus configuration.”

The main features include:

* Powerful anti-virus and spyware protection that detects and removes viruses and spyware using real-time, on-demand and scheduled scans.
* Anti-malware policy compliance that enables anti-virus policy enforcement and accelerates automatic updates of virus patterns and scan engines.
* A log report that allows IT administrators to keep logs of malware detection and scan performance.

Currently, Trend Micro NAS Security is found built into select network storage devices by leading NAS vendors.
