Trend Micro enhances InterScan with reputation services

By Ellen Messmer, Network World, 07/02/07

Trend Micro on Monday announced it’s enhanced its InterScan Gateway Security Appliance line with filtering protection provided through Trend’s in-the-cloud reputation services to identify dangerous Web sites and e-mail sources.

The InterScan Gateway Security Appliance line is used for gateway-based URL filtering for corporate users as well as content filtering of spam, antivirus and antispyware. Trend Micro is bolstering this defense through its reputation services,which identify malicious Web sites and sources of spam.

“These reputation services are done in Trend’s data centers," says Bill Hansy, Trend Micro’s product marketing manager. There, an ongoing analysis of the life cycle of hundreds of millions of Web domains leads to an assessment of the trustworthiness of the site. Web sites that come and go at a very fast rate, for example, are probably involved in activities associated with botnets or spam, and InterScan users have the option of filtering this content out.

InterScan Gateway Security Appliance, which supports Trend Micro’s reputation services, is available in eight models that start at $4,490.
