News Releases
Cupertino, CA – October 10, 2008 – The cloud is growing and, along with it, the volume of emerging Web and email threats that threaten company servers, workstations, and networks. Security experts predict over 25,000 new threats per hour by 2015, driving vendors to develop newer, faster paradigms to effectively protect their clients.
WHAT:
A new approach is needed to lighten the load on computers: Cloud-client security through the Trend Micro Smart Protection Network
In his presentation, John Maddison, vice president of core technology solutions for Trend Micro, will examine current IT management options for integrating cloud-client file reputation technology into current endpoint security architectures. He will discuss how this transition will lead to the evolution of an approach to data security that will provide rapid, real-time security status “look-up” capabilities in the cloud and further reduce the cost and overhead associated with corporate-wide signature deployments.
With such a high volume of threats, a new approach is needed to reduce the heavy burden computers have to store and deliver protection information. The Trend Micro™ Smart Protection Network is a unique, next-generation cloud-client content security infrastructure designed to protect customers from Web threats including data-stealing malware. Cloud-client file reputation technology, a component of the Trend Micro Smart Protection Network, is designed to offload the storage of traditional signatures from computers and into the Internet cloud.
