SecureData, an ERP.com company and the exclusive sub-Saharan distributors of Trend Micro, a leading provider of enterprise antivirus and Internet content security software solutions, today announced that Trend Micro was awarded the "Best Channel Strategy" honour at the recent Enterprise Vision Summer 2000 event hosted by the Gartner Group, July 23-25, 2000.
"Best Channel Strategy" is part of the "Best of EnterpriseVision Awards", the only awards in the industry selected by the integrator community, honouring the vendors who provide industry-leading products and programs.
The Enterprise Vision Summer 2000 conference is a comprehensive event developed to bring system integrators and vendors together to promote growth and understanding of enterprise channel dynamics. The Gartner Group, world leader in providing business technology research, consulting, and market intelligence, brought together 125 major integrators and technology vendors for this event.
Trend Micro's channel strategy is to partner with VARs and system integrators who want to provide their clients "best of breed" policy-based security solutions. Trend Micro provides market-leading server-based antivirus solutions for Internet gateways, mail servers, servers and desktops that are designed to integrate seamlessly with other leading security products on a wide variety of platforms.
For example, Trend Micro's InterScan VirusWall Internet gateway virus protection software is the only antivirus product that has achieved Sun Microsystems' SunTone[SM] Application Certification for deployment in ASP environments and is the first antivirus solution that has been OPSEC(tm)-Certified by Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq: CHKPF) for Check Point(tm) FireWall-1 on both NT and Unix.
"Integration specialists are the people who know every aspect of the network, and for them to recognise Trend Micro's comprehensive solutions for network security and its commitment to the channel is quite an honour," said Feliciano Rivera, Director of Channel Marketing at Trend Micro. "Trend Micro has combined cutting edge technology, expertise and business partnerships to provide VARs and system integrators with a scalable, high performance antivirus and content security solution."
Trend Micro provides a host of training opportunities that enable partners to effectively assess security risks, design integrated solutions and provide complementary services. In doing so, Trend Micro extends and shares knowledge of Internet security solutions with partners and customers.
