Company to Host a North America Webinar Entitled 'Innovative Spam
Defense' to Raise Awareness of Spam's Evolution and New Anti-Spam
Techniques CUPERTINO, Calif., May 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Trend
Micro Incorporated (TSE:4704)(NASDAQ:TMIC), a leader in network
antivirus and Internet content security, today announced that in a
recent independent anti-spam benchmark test, multi-tiered anti-spam
from Trend Micro achieved the highest catch rate of 97.36 percent
and a competitive low false positive rate when compared to several
popular anti-spam solutions. The anti-spam tests were conducted by
an independent testing agency, Opus One, and the vendor solutions
tested included anti-spam engines as well as reputation services if
provided by the vendor. Opus One tested the Trend Micro anti-spam
composite engine and Trend Micro Email Reputation. The robust
anti-spam engine integrates multiple anti-spam techniques to stop
threats before they reach the inbox. Patent-pending image spam
detection technology, embedded URL reputation, and other
cutting-edge approaches protect against emerging spam attacks.
Keeping these threats out of the inbox increases employee
productivity and safeguards employees from falling victim to spam
threats blended with malware and phishing. Trend Micro Email
Reputation was tested as part of the Trend Micro multi-tiered
anti-spam solution. Reputation services have become critical in the
fight against spam, blocking senders of email threats without
administrators having to scan the content of the mail. Trend Micro
Email Reputation uses one of the world's largest reputation
databases with information on over 1.6 billion IP addresses and a
dynamic reputation service that identifies new spam sources in real
time, stopping threats when they first emerge. Trend Micro Email
Reputation takes advantage of over a decade of reputation expertise
to keep threats off the network, not just out of the inbox,
preserving valuable network resources. This effective multi-tiered
anti-spam is offered in Trend Micro gateway anti-spam solutions for
Small, Medium, and Enterprise business. Trend Micro Email
Reputation is also sold as a standalone service, Trend Micro Email
Reputation Services, which can be used as a first line of defense
to complement other content security products. In the anti-spam
tests, Opus One also tested Trend Micro's standalone Email
Reputation Services as part of a selection of standalone reputation
services, and the Trend Micro solution had the highest catch rate
of the tested reputation services at 72.7 percent. Trend Micro is
an industry leader in anti-spam effectiveness for both its gateway
anti-spam solution and its standalone reputation service. "Trend
Micro is very pleased with the recognition these benchmark results
provide. The company has worked hard and focused on providing
customers a superior layered and multi-tiered spam defense and the
Opus One report endorses these efforts," said David Spenhoff, vice
president of enterprise marketing, Trend Micro. "Spam has increased
in both volume and sophistication. Our anti-spam solutions are
evolving in order to efficiently mitigate the threat posed by spam.
This test proves that Trend Micro anti- spam solutions are ahead of
the pack, successfully protecting enterprises around the globe."
Trend Micro strategically applies its anti-spam technologies at
different network points to maximize overall layered protection,
including mail server and gateway anti-spam as well as standalone
reputation services. This protection is provided in a variety of
Trend Micro solutions to meet the varying needs of organizations,
including messaging security solutions, complete gateway security
for Web and email protection, as well as comprehensive network
security suites. In an effort to help raise awareness regarding the
evolution of spam and anti-spam techniques, Trend Micro will be
hosting a Webinar from North America entitled "Innovative Spam
Defense" taking place on May 10, 2007 at 10:00 a.m. PDT. For
