Trend Micro Announces New ScanMail for Microsoft Exchange

New Version Provides Security, Performance and Integration Enhancements to Proven Threat Protection Technology 


CUPERTINO, Calif., Feb. 26  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Trend Micro Incorporated (TSE:4704)(NASDAQ:TMIC), a leader in network antivirus and content security software and services, today announced the latest version of Trend Micro(TM) ScanMail(TM) for Microsoft(TM) Exchange, version 8.0. This new release supports Exchange Server 2007 and earlier versions, continuing to provide businesses proven protection against a multitude of email-borne threats including spam, phishing and viruses, plus inappropriate content. The solution now also includes technology to protect against zero-day attacks, image spam, and for improved web-threat security it includes dedicated anti-spyware as well.

Protection at the mail server plays a valuable role within layered email security, inspecting internal communications and supplementing perimeter defenses. In 1997, Trend Micro originally pioneered server-based, email virus protection with the launch of ScanMail, which has since been recognized by organizations across the world as a proven, trusted security solution. This latest version of ScanMail for Microsoft Exchange provides a number of new benefits to customers

ScanMail for Microsoft Exchange 8.0 includes enhanced protection and continued performance optimizations. Additionally, the product's integration to the Microsoft infrastructure has been expanded, helping reduce mail server impact and management. As a result, businesses receive proven mail server security that can protect critical business communications with few ongoing costs.

"Organizations of all sizes, including the most-demanding enterprises, trust ScanMail for Exchange for proven content-security and messaging protection with little ongoing administration," said Max Cheng, general manager Trend Micro enterprise business operations. "With the recent release of Exchange Server 2007, and its new built-in features, Trend Micro is able to deliver an even higher performing, tighter integrated and easier to manage mail server security solution."

Trend Micro, in addition to continuing its protection of earlier versions of Exchange, has taken advantage of the new security features within Exchange Server 2007 to deliver an advanced, dedicated security solution to its customers. For example, ScanMail for Microsoft Exchange 8.0 provides native x64 bit support, plus full support for the Microsoft(TM) Intelligent Message Filter (IMF) and high availability clusters. The new version also integrates with Microsoft Operations Manager (MoM) and Microsoft Outlook junkmail folder for even easier management and administration. And the new antivirus stamp in Exchange Server 2007 enables Trend Micro to provide incremental scanning for improved efficiency.

Content-security threats are becoming more evasive, combining multiple techniques, in an attempt to acquire valuable data and information for monetary gain. In order to remain protected against such insidious threats, an in-depth multi-layered approach to security, based on proven technologies is recommended.  Messaging security at the gateway or in-the-cloud helps stop inbound threats as early as possible. Mail server security extends inspection throughout the email infrastructure, including the mail store. The Trend Micro Enterprise Protection Strategy weaves together ScanMail with other solutions, providing a deeply layered defense against complex attacks involving both email and the Web.
