Trend Micro has unveiled new Threat Management Services offering that provides enterprises with ‘network security overwatch’, a security layer which it claims to strengthen an organisation’s existing security infrastructure against active, data-stealing malware.

Trend Micro said that the new services will provide proactive early warning, containment and remediation, enabling enterprises to gain increased protection, visibility and less management complexity.

According to Trend Micro, the new services strengthen protection of corporate assets through three key components including, a network anti-malware technology that identifies, analyses and mitigates corporate-wide threat security issues; a signature-less cleanup technology effective against known and new malware; and with Trend Micro’s security experts to secure corporate data and offer security expertise for IT departments.

The new service is offered in three packages including, Threat Discovery Services that allows IT to identify, analyse and mitigate corporate-wide threat security issues including undetected infections, risky behaviours and practices, and potential malware entry points; and Threat Remediation Services that features 24×7 monitoring, proactive early warning alerts, and remediation advisory services.

The Threat Lifecycle Management Services includes automated threat remediation and root-cause analysis technology coupled with proactive security planning services from a Trend Micro threat management advisor, the company said.

Thomas Miller, executive vice-president and general manager of Trend Micro, said: Conventional security technologies such as endpoint antivirus, Web security gateways, email security gateways and IPS solutions are struggling to keep up with today’s targeted attacks that are designed to be stealthy and go undetected while they systematically steal sensitive data.

“Organisations need a security defense layer like Trend Micro Threat Management Services to provide visibility into where malware is hiding, proactive warnings, and effective measures to contain the threat and clean up the network.
