Trend Micro ScanMail extends benefits of immediate protection with less complexity to IBM Lotus Domino 8.5 users

Johannesburg, 27 Jul 2009

SecureData Security, part of JSE-listed SecureData Holdings and the sole sub-Saharan distributor for Trend Micro today announced a new release of ScanMail for IBM Lotus Domino users - newly equipped with Web reputation, a component of the Trend Micro Smart Protection Network that analyses Web traffic and blocks malicious traffic coming from or going into business networks.

Trend Micro ScanMail 5.0 offers superior, immediate, easy-to-manage e-mail server security for the growing number of customers who are reaping the benefits of Lotus Domino.

“Lotus Domino software has been - by far - the most secure offering of its kind since its inception two decades ago. It's one of the reasons we have so many millions of users in a variety of industries using our software. We're impressed that Trend Micro is the first company to offer this type of support for 64-bit Domino 8.5, allowing IBM customers to reap the full security benefits of our software," commented Kevin Cavanaugh, vice-president, Messaging and Collaboration, IBM Software.

Newly added Web reputation technology - powered by the Trend Micro Smart Protection Network - delivers proactive security

Today's aggressive, subversive e-mail threats demand powerful, multi-layered messaging security to protect workgroup collaboration environments like Lotus Domino. ScanMail works with Lotus Domino's built-in security features to protect users against viruses and other malware within e-mail attachments and databases; it stops spam, messages with links to malicious sites and sensitive content.

The Smart Protection Network checks, in real-time, the reputation of URLs embedded within messages to determine whether e-mail messages are legitimate or malicious - and, if malicious, blocks them before they reach end-users.

Real-time updates plus simple administration

The cloud-client architecture of the Trend Micro Smart Protection Networks means companies no longer have to rely on solutions such as endpoint signature file updates that are not completely secure and take valuable time to deploy. Unlike customers of competing solutions, users of ScanMail for Lotus Domino no longer worry about frequent security and product updates, nor time-consuming server management.

ScanMail offers leading malware protection for Lotus Domino environments. With ScanMail, companies can unlock the full power of Lotus Domino 8.5 and their 64-bit infrastructure for up-to-the-minute security in an easy-to-manage solution.

Additional key features in ScanMail 5.0 for Lotus Domino include:

* Powerful anti-virus, anti-spyware, anti-spam.
* Content filtering based on keywords, regular expressions or true file type, which ensures protection even if a user renames a file extension.
* High-performance scanning of SMTP connector-level traffic and message stores.
* Superior platform support.
* Intuitive configuration, deployment, management and reporting.
* Integration with Trend Micro Control Manager for centralised management of enterprise-wide security.
