Trend Micro(TM) Deep Discovery Delivers Breakthrough Protection Against Advanced Persistent Threats and Targeted Attacks

New threat management solution focuses on targeted attack detection and analysis, SIEM integration and other Global 1000 requirements

CUPERTINO, Calif., Feb. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), a global cloud security leader, today announced Deep Discovery, the third generation of Trend Micro's threat management solution. Deep Discovery delivers breakthrough features and performance designed to help large enterprise and government organizations combat advanced persistent threats (APTs) and targeted attacks.

APTs and Targeted Attacks are the New Norm

    --  Targeted attacks and APTs are becoming commonplace across a wide range
        of industries and company sizes requiring organizations of all sizes to
        take action.
    --  Technology trends such as consumerization, virtualization and cloud
        computing are weakening the role of perimeter security and further
        opening the network to these attacks.
    --  Because standard security defenses cannot detect or prevent these
        attacks, analysts recommend new proactive measures and specialized
        technology as part of risk management due diligence.
    --  Large enterprise and government organizations are among the most
        concerned and are demanding specialized threat detection and analysis
        capabilities to reduce their risk of attack and data loss.

Trend Micro Deep Discovery provides customers with the network-wide visibility, insight and control needed to reduce the risk of APTs and targeted attacks.

Additionally, real-time dashboards provide the in-depth analysis and actionable intelligence needed to prevent, discover, and contain attacks against corporate data.

"Deep Discovery is the result of Trend Micro's thorough investigations of targeted attacks around the world, interviews with major customers, and the participation of a special product advisory board made up of leading G1000 organizations and government agencies," said Steve Quane, chief product officer at Trend Micro. "We used our research and customer feedback to create an innovative solution to effectively combat APTs and targeted attacks."
