Trend Micro tackles data protection and consumerization needs with Integrated OfficeScan release

Trend Micro announced enhancements to its OfficeScan, Mobile Security and Data Protection solutions, which includes the ability to integrate management of security, data protection, and mobile management. This allows IT organizations to reduce the costs and complexity required to protect their users, data and computing assets. 

While businesses have worked diligently to reduce incoming IT threats in recent years, they have struggled to keep up with emerging ‘multi-faceted’ security concerns related to data loss, virtualization, cloud migration, mobile device management and consumerization. A recent Trend Micro study shows that IT departments serving more than 200 users have added security point solutions at an alarming rate – in some cases they have a dozen types of software, each with a different directory, administration console and server.

“We have quickly found ourselves in a situation where IT organizations must consolidate their security solutions, or risk errors and solution gaps due to this added complexity,” said Ron Clarkson, Trend Micro’s senior director, endpoint business. “The good news is, Trend Micro has anticipated this situation and provides a reliable way out of it.”

Helping Companies Efficiently Navigate Today’s Top Emerging Security Concerns

Trend Micro’s new software releases provide businesses with a sensible consolidation path based on its award-winning Trend Micro™ OfficeScan™ endpoint security framework. They can now benefit from a single client and management infrastructure, single vendor source for software updates and upgrades, and the enhanced ability to correlate threat intelligence across the network for greater visibility and control. Below are details of the new solution updates from Trend Micro organized by the security initiatives which they support:

Data Loss Prevention

Trend Micro OfficeScan 10.6 includes an optional data loss prevention (DLP) plug-in that enables customers to deploy endpoint DLP in minutes rather than months, resulting in quick wins on corporate data security objectives. This helps organizations avoid costly fines and data breaches by ensuring that sensitive data is handled properly. 

Consumerization of IT

Trend Micro Mobile Security 7.1 adds support for Apple iPad and iPhone, as well as Android and Blackberry devices, with an expanded set of mobile device management capabilities, all integrated within the OfficeScan management environment. Trend Micro Mobile Security 7.1 helps organizations overcome their security, data protection and support risks so they can realize the increased productivity, business agility, customer and employee satisfaction that the consumerization of IT can bring. 

Endpoint Encryption

Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption 3.1 provides strong encryption for any device that may carry sensitive corporate data including laptops, USB drives and removable media. Real-time auditing capabilities support “evidence of control” requirements during audits and following a data breach. In addition, Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption’s advanced pre-boot authentication provides the highest level of security to encrypted devices.
