IT security needs to show value to business

The Trend's Enterprise Security Suite is all about added value, ie, maximum protection and minimum complexity from gateway to endpoints.

Johannesburg, 26 Jul 2010

The modern IT security threat has changed! Traditional security methods are ineffective, with over 2 000 new and unique malware attacks per hour.

Frequent pattern file updates can't keep up with the volume of attacks. Trend Micro Enterprise Security Suite, the replacement for Neatsuite, uses innovative in-the-cloud protection from the Trend Micro Smart Protection Network infrastructure to provide enterprises immediate protection with less complexity.

Protect your Internet gateway, mail and file servers, desktops, laptops, and mobile devices with this fully integrated, centrally managed security solution. Creating a multi-layered security strategy is the first step to improving your security.

The Trend Micro Enterprise Security Suite (ESS) offers the following differentiators in a single AV suite that is unrivalled:

* URL filtering with advanced reporting
* E-mail filtering with advanced spam prevention
* Internal e-mail content filtering
* End-point security that harnesses cloud-based scanning
* Mobile security

All of the above is included in ESS, with no additional modules required to implement a Trend Micro gateway to endpoint AV solution; therefore, there are no hidden costs.

The heart of the ESS suite is endpoint protection. A recent review of the Trend Micro endpoint protection point solution, which is powered by Trend Micro Smart Protection Network, is that it is “easy to implement, easy to use and provides a very strong set of protection features for endpoints”. The product received five stars in every single category reviewed: ease of use, performance, documentation, support and value for money.

With security management costs being a significant portion of content security expenditures, the new Trend Micro Enterprise Security Suites can help protect organisations more effectively while reducing the time it takes to acquire, deploy, and manage content security. According to independent research company, Osterman Research, ESS can help lower projected infection rates by up to over 60% and slash security management costs by up to 40%.

The Trend Micro Smart Protection Network delivers the infrastructure behind these suites and differentiates them from competing solutions. It uses a number of patent-pending technologies and combines Internet-based, or 'in-the-cloud' technologies with lighter-weight, client-based methods to ensure customers have immediate access to the latest and strongest protection wherever and however they connect, whether it be from home, within the company's network, or on the go.

“Based on in-depth primary market research, Trend Micro created these new suites to help organisations ensure their security-related jobs performed both more effectively and more efficiently,” commented Lee Bristow, Product Manager at SecureData for Trend Micro. “An increasing number of organisations are seeking to consolidate many, disparate security point products into fewer, more comprehensive solutions from a handful of industry leaders and trusted advisors such as Trend Micro.”

The New Trend Micro suites are:

* Trend Micro Enterprise Security Suite;
* Trend Micro Enterprise Security for Endpoints and Mail Servers;
* Trend Micro Enterprise Security for Gateways;
* Trend Micro Enterprise Security for Endpoints; and
* Trend Micro Enterprise Security for Communication and Collaboration to comprise.

SecureData Security, part of JSE-listed SecureData Holdings, is the sole sub-Saharan distributor for Trend Micro.
