DALLAS and WASHINGTON, July 15,
2014 /PRNewswire/ -- As more organizations transition
to the cloud for increased efficiencies and streamlined management
of IT infrastructure, Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE:
4704), a global leader1 in cloud security, today
announced upcoming new and enhanced capabilities for Microsoft™
Office 365™ customers. These expanded services demonstrate Trend
Micro's commitment to delivering solutions that help secure cloud
architectures combined with centralized management and
comprehensive protection controls to help guard against data loss
and advanced malware within Microsoft Corp.'s existing
infrastructure.
"Our history with Microsoft runs deep, and our approach to
providing customers with sound security-enhanced changes will
help users achieve the full benefits and ROI the cloud has to
offer," said Partha Panda, vice
president, global channels and strategic alliances, Trend Micro.
"This complementary approach to security will help enable Microsoft
partners to address their customers' concerns so they can more
effectively close deals. As the largest, pure-play security
software provider, we are deeply committed to being innovators in
cloud protection as adoption surges across global industries."
Trend Micro helps enhance Microsoft environments with
multi-layered threat and data protection that encompasses
endpoints, Web and email. To better support channel partners'
ability to sell Trend Micro's additional solutions for Microsoft
Office 365, these centrally managed solutions will be available as
part of the Trend Micro™ Smart Protection Complete suite. This
interconnected set of security offerings delivers protection at
endpoint, application and network levels to protect users with the
broadest range of anti-malware capabilities available to thwart
attacks such as Citadel, Luuuk, SpyEye and ZeuS. The suite enables
organizations to tailor their defense based on their unique
business requirements with flexible on-premise, cloud and hybrid
deployment models that fit dynamic IT environments as they
transition to the cloud.
"The cloud lets businesses stay focused on their customers and
profits, rather than worrying about the limitations of lengthy
deployment processes or outdated technology," said Kim Akers, general manager, Microsoft.
"Companies like Trend Micro have a breadth of knowledge about data
security that help secure cloud applications, and complement our
solutions."
At this year's Microsoft World Partner Conference , Trend Micro
will highlight new security offerings for Microsoft Office 365,
including:
Trend Micro™ Cloud App Security
This new offering
works directly with Office 365 using a Microsoft™ API for Exchange
Online, SharePoint™ Online and OneDrive™ for Business. By providing
data at rest encryption with customer-managed keys, customers will
have added control of their data while preserving Office 365
functionality.
It also helps reduce risk with advanced malware scanning through
sandbox analysis and simplifies compliance with data loss
prevention.
Trend Micro™ Hosted Email Security
Currently, Trend
Micro Hosted Email Security provides top performing
spam2 and malware filtering for Office 365, helping
protect users by scanning emails for malicious attachments and
URLs, spam and graymail, and phishing attacks. The coming update
includes enhanced spear phishing protection and hidden malware
detection.
"Working with both Microsoft and Trend Micro
allows us to offer powerful solutions that will help our customers'
businesses grow by providing user-friendly technology that drives
productivity and profitability," said Mike
Hogan, Microsoft General Manager, En Pointe Technologies.
"We are excited to learn that Trend Micro is continuing to invest
in its Microsoft relationship. Microsoft's cloud services meet the
needs of a wide variety of our customers, and the inclusion of
Trend Micro gives us the ability to create an even stronger selling
point."
