Trend Micro Announces All-in-One Enterprise Security for Mobile Devices |
Trend Micro(TM) Mobile Security 5.0 protects enterprise data on mobile
devices from loss or theft. Newly-added data encryption and authentication,
along with firewall, intrusion detection and malware protection are all
managed by a single console.
CANNES, France, Nov. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Gartner ITxpo -- Trend
Micro Incorporated (TSE: 4704), a leader in network antivirus and content
security software and services, today announced the latest version of its
mobile device security solution, available to the market in December 2007.
The release of Trend Micro Mobile Security (TMMS) 5.0, girded with data
encryption and authentication, mitigates mobile security challenges such as
security breaches and data leakage while allowing enterprise administrators
to manage security for handheld devices from a single console.
Mobile devices have become small, powerful computers with large data
storage capacities and growing network bandwidth. A remote and mobile
workforce utilizing mobile applications on their handhelds are at risk for
losing confidential and sensitive information critical to their companies.
Mobile applications such as push email, customer relationship management,
and field service automation boost convenience and productivity, but make
data vulnerable. Enterprises need to ensure that both data and mobile
devices are secure and protected.
TMMS 5.0 features new data encryption and authentication capabilities:
If a mobile device is lost or stolen, the business-critical data contained
in it is encrypted unless it is unlocked with a password. Data on devices
that do not comply with policies can be wiped out by administrators. The
anti-malware features block viruses, worms, Trojans and SMS text message
spam. Built-in firewall and Intrusion Detection System (IDS) protects
against hackers, intrusions and denial-of-service attacks -- all potential
threats to mobile devices.
"Businesses are dispatching workers outside the corporate structure,
and are moving them through a variety of wireless networks. Workers are
going through airports, hotels, restaurants, and homes to do their jobs,"
said Thomas Miller, global vice president and general manager of the
Enterprise Business Unit. "Mobile devices that contain confidential data
are not only at risk for viruses, worms, Trojans and spam, they're also at
risk for theft or accidental loss. Trend Micro Mobile Security 5.0 provides
total mobile protection through a single, compact application."
TMMS 5.0 uses the OfficeScan(TM) Client/Server Edition (OSCE) 8.0
console which also manages medium business and enterprise PC and server
security. By installing TMMS 5.0 onto their OSCE 8.0 console, existing
customers use a single console to manage mobile devices, desktop PCs and
enterprise servers. Customers not presently using OSCE 8.0 receive an OSCE
8.0 console license with their TMMS 5.0 purchase.
Trend Micro Mobile Security 5.0 supports multiple leading platforms
such as Windows Mobile(TM) 5.0 (Smartphone.) Windows Mobile 6.0 (Standard
Edition); Windows Mobile 5.0 (PocketPC.) Windows Mobile 6.0 (Classic and
Professional); and Symbian S60/3rd Edition (Nokia E-Series.)
