Trend Micro

Trend Micro announces a slate of cloud-based security services that it says protect servers for Amazon Web Services (AWS) customers.

Trend Micro has outlined a product-development strategy it calls "Custom Defense" intended to augment traditional signature-based anti-malware defense with custom-designed signatures to thwart stealthy, targeted attacks.

Trend Micro today broadened its cloud-based security infrastructure so that its products can receive actionable threat intelligence that lets the security software act like a "virtual shield" against many Web-based threats.

Virtualization -- in particular Trend Micro's close alliance with VMware -- is bringing about a strategic shift in Trend's anti-malware business as its products become designed for use with VMware's vShield technology.

There is a lot to be said for minimalism, but with Titanium Internet Security 2011 ($70 for one year, three PCs, as of 12/2/2010), Trend Micro takes it to the extreme. The suite's user interface is one of the most simplistic and stripped-down of the security apps we tested. A simple summary of threats stopped, a link to the utility's parental controls, and the date that your subscription expires are all the information the primary display offers. Below that, you can choose to scan your system, configure options, or check your logs. A large blue "Tools" button is actually a red herring, telling you only whether parental controls and "data theft prevention" (a rather useless utility that mysteriously claims to "prevent hackers from stealing credit card numbers, passwords" and so forth) are turned on.

Trend Micro is blazing a new trail with a service called SecureCloud intended to give enterprises a way to encrypt data in cloud-computing environments.

Trend Micro Monday is announcing an updated endpoint security product designed to go beyond protecting Windows environments to safeguard virtualized desktops based on Citrix XenDesktop and VMware View.
