Trend Micro Email Reputation Services
Stops Email Threats Before the Gateway
Overview:
Email-based threats are rising dramatically. Spam, spyware, phishing, botnets, zombies, targeted email attacks, and blended-threat attacks not only sap employee productivity, they endanger company networks. At the same time, administrative resources and budgets are overtaxed and existing security systems are stretched to the limit.
Trend Micro Email Reputation Services stop up to 80 percent of spam and other email threats at their source—before they can hit the gateway and flood messaging infrastructure. Email Reputation Services is the only solution to offer an administration console, which gives access to reports and provides the option to actively manage spam and blended email threats. As a highly effective first layer of security with extensive MTA support, the services complement your current email security and greatly reduce spam’s impact on the gateway, allowing your messaging security to run at optimal efficiency.
