Trend Micro Equips Customers with Automated Bot Protection Powered by New
Trend Micro Behavioral Analysis Security Engine
CUPERTINO, Calif., Sept. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Trend Micro
Incorporated, (Nasdaq: TMIC; TSE: 4704), a leader in network antivirus and
content security software and services, today announced its next milestone
in content security innovation with the release of InterCloud Security
Service, the industry's most advanced solution for identifying botnet
activity and offering customers the ability to quarantine and optionally
clean bot-infected PCs.
InterCloud Security Service is designed to meet the performance and
scalability requirements of Internet Service Providers (ISPs),
universities, and other large network providers. The solution incorporates
a Service Delivery Platform and a service subscription that leverages Trend
Micro's expertise in threat identification, analysis, mitigation and
remediation.
InterCloud Security Service specifically addresses the mounting threat
posed by botnets -- networks of compromised machines that can be remotely
controlled by an attacker. Threats associated with botnets include click-
fraud, distributed denial-of-service attacks (DDoS), spam, identity theft
via phishing and pharming techniques and other crimeware-related activity.
Because bots are often specifically crafted to avoid the detection of
pattern matching, Trend Micro's new service relies on patent-pending
behavioral analysis technology known as Behavioral Analysis Security Engine
(BASE). Trend Micro's BASE technology analyzes aggregated application and
network infrastructure data, including DNS queries and Border Gateway
Protocol (BGP) routing tables, to detect aberrant botnet-related behavior.
As a result, Trend Micro's InterCloud Security Service can effectively
identify and isolate bots in real time whereby derailing their ability to
initiate attacks or spread infection.
InterCloud Security Service customers also receive access to a service
delivery platform that provides timely threat intelligence and security
updates from Trend Micro's Bot Identification Team -- a global group of
security specialists who monitor bot activity, analyze bot behavior and
investigate bot distribution mechanisms. Additionally, a web-based
management portal provides administrators with a holistic view of network
bot activity and enables centralized management of policies and updates as
well as customizable reports on recent violations of policies.
"Up to this point, ISPs have been largely at the mercy of botnet
activity robbing them of network resources and threatening the welfare of
consumers and businesses daily," said Dave Rand, chief technology officer
of Internet Content Security, Trend Micro. "With the release of this
service and the bot- expert resources devoted to it, Trend Micro offers
service providers and large institutions the first botnet mitigation
solution from a trusted name in security."
