SecureData, an ERP.com company and the exclusive sub-Saharan distributors of Trend Micro, a leading provider of enterprise antivirus and content security software and the only Lotus Premium Business Partner to provide a cross-platform virus scanning solution, today announced the latest version of Trend's award-winning Lotus Notes virus protection software, ScanMail 2.5. Version 2.5 will provide a major performance upgrade, adding significantly to the virus scanning and cleaning, message handling and integration features of this market-leading Notes solution.
ScanMail for Lotus Notes provides the only antivirus support for Lotus Domino on Windows NT, AS/400 and S/390 IBM platforms, AIX and Sun Solaris platforms. Using real-time email virus-scanning features, viruses can be detected and cleaned from incoming messages before they have a chance to infect the desktop. To optimise server performance ScanMail for Lotus Notes checks mail at the router before copies are made. Modified data can be scanned within the database during the replication stage, and on-demand scanning is provided to clean any existing database infections.
"Trend is dedicated to working closely with IBM and their channel partners to provide tightly integrated, world-class protection for enterprises using Lotus Notes," says Wayne Biehn, Sales Director, SecureData. "Lotus Notes users choose ScanMail because it supports a wide range of platforms and offers one of the most reliable, easy-to-use, scaleable, high performance virus protection products for the enterprise market today."
Enhancements in ScanMail 2.5 for Lotus Notes include:
Policy based configuration that brings ScanMail for Lotus Notes 2.5 into Trend Micro's philosophy of a rule based structure;
Improved management by embedding ScanMail into the Lotus Domino R5 Administration Console. The integration of ScanMail for Notes into Trend Virus Control System (TVCS) ensures seamless Enterprise antivirus administration;
ActiveUpdate support which enables automatic updates of both pattern files and scan engines;
Attachment blocking by either file name extension or file type, which offers the choice of blocking the entire email or just the email attachment;
Enhanced mail management features that enable configuration of filter rules for in- and outbound e-mail, providing delay, blocking and prioritisation of domain groups, server groups and users;
Emergency outbreak mail delay to allow emails to be held in a queue until filtering procedures or pattern/engine updates have been completed. This removes the need for the mail server to be shut down
Product Availability
ScanMail Version 2.5 for Lotus Notes will be available for Windows NT, IBM AS/400, IBM S/390, IBM AIX and Sun Solaris in Q4 2000. Other platforms are planned. More information about ScanMail for Lotus notes can be obtained by visiting: http://www.trend.com/products/smln/
