Trend Micro Web Reputation Technology Introduced

Adds to the Trend Micro multi-layered approach to dealing with evolving multi-component Web threats.
Trend Micro Incorporated, a company in network antivirus and Internet content security software and services, has introduced Web threat protection technology. Trend Micro Web Reputation technology is a key new innovation being added to the Trend Micro multi-layered approach to dealing with evolving multi-component Web threats that take advantage of the interactive nature of the Internet.

Total Web threat protection is a key component within Trend Micro secure content and threat management security solutions portfolio. Owing to the evolution of threats and security solutions created to combat them, IDC estimates that the secure content and threat management market reached $11.6 billion in 2005.

"When an employee of a business uses the Web, whether for company research, to surf or socialise, they are automatically increasing the security risk to their organisation and corporate managers need tools to better understand and make decisions about that risk," said Eva Chen, CEO, Trend Micro.

He added, "The ability to track the credibility and reputation of a site before entering it is like running a credit check prior to entering into a business agreement. With such insidious and
often targeted attacks, a normally trustworthy site could unwittingly become hijacked by malicious code. Trend Micro total Web threat protection provides security readings and restrictions that lessen the risk of confidential information leakage and identity loss, and damage to company image as a result of Web-based attacks."
