Trend Micro, a global cloud security leader, has announced that its product, Deep Discovery, has been awarded best new product at the Network Computing Awards, in London.
Deep Discovery has been developed to help businesses mitigate the growing risk from sophisticated targeted attacks in a virtual and cloud environment. The award is a "readers' choice" award, meaning it was voted for by the customers, partners and users of Deep Discovery.
"Receiving this award as a result of votes from our user base and customers reinforces the value that Deep Discovery brings to our customers," says Gregory Anderson, country manager, South Africa at Trend Micro. "The true benefit of Deep Discovery is that it makes use of new technology to protect businesses from targeted attacks and advanced malware, which traditional anti-malware solutions just cannot defend against."
According to Trend Micro, targeted attacks represent one of the biggest challenges to government organisations and private businesses today, with attacks typically designed to breach firms by stealth, infect systems with zero-day threats and lay hidden inside networks for as long as possible while lifting sensitive data.
The Deep Discovery product was launched last year and is largely touted as one of the most comprehensive solution of its kind, engineered specifically to not only help organisations neutralise the growing menace of targeted attacks, but also offer in-depth analysis to prevent similar attacks in future. It is engineered to focus on the malicious content, suspect communications as well as the human attack behaviour to give firms the best chance of detecting targeted attacks.
"Deep Discovery is powered by our cloud-based threat protection system, the Smart Protection Network, and as a result enables zero day and advanced malware to be detected and blocked in the cloud before it can hit the network. In addition, reputation engine and blacklisting capabilities can detect the command and control channels used by attackers to communicate with malware which may be buried deep inside an organisation," ends Anderson.
