SecureData, a member of the JSE-listed ERP.com Group, and the southern African distributor for Trend security software, today announced that the latter's NeatSuite anti-virus solution has won CMP Media LLC's Network Computing Well-Connected Award.
Trend Micro's NeatSuite was recognised by Network Computing reviewers for its unique, innovative and strategic solutions for detecting, blocking and automatically cleaning viruses and worms at virtually every access point in the enterprise.
"The Well-Connected Awards are the only industry awards given by technologists based on real-world product testing and evaluation. We view all products, technologies and services from the same perspective as our readers-our peers-do," commented Fritz Nelson, VP and Group Publisher of Network Computing Enterprise Architecture Group. "This is an important distinction from any other award program - the products selected in the Well-Connected Awards are unique because they have been tested over an enterprise by our editors themselves. They are truly innovative solutions that work."
Trend Micro NeatSuite is a fully integrated, managed suite of products designed to protect virtually every access point in the enterprise. NeatSuite offers virus protection on the network -- InterScan Messaging Security Suite and InterScan Web Security Suite for gateway protection, ScanMail for Microsoft Exchange with eManager or ScanMail for Lotus Notes with eManager for mail servers, ServerProtect for Microsoft Windows/NetWare and Linux for enterprise-class servers, and OfficeScan for desktops, all of which are centrally managed by Trend Micro Control Manager. The result is a powerful, multi-layered defence system designed to protect the corporate network against viruses and other malicious code.
"With NeatSuite, organisations can maximise the benefits obtained from Trend Micro Enterprise Protection Strategy (EPS), an innovative and unique approach to proactively manage the outbreak lifecycle. Trend Micro specifically developed a set of products, services, prescribed operational tactics and management tools that minimise the cost and headaches of dealing with the inevitable virus outbreak," added Dan Glessner, Senior Director of North American Marketing for Trend Micro, Inc.
"The Well-Connected Award validates our efforts to solve significant customer pain with the proliferation of mixed threat attacks that currently burden many organisations."
