Trend Micro Enterprise Security for Communication and Collaboration

Overview:

Email, instant messaging, and collaboration systems connect your employees, partners, and customers, but they also open doors for cybercriminals. In this real-time environment, attackers can spread malware, hijack systems, and steal data in a flash—especially when you share data with external users. That’s why immediate, ongoing protection is critical.

Trend Micro™ Enterprise Security for Communication and Collaboration protects your Microsoft® email, collaboration, and IM systems by stopping threats in real time—before they can strike. Powered by our cloud-based Trend Micro™ Smart Protection Network™, real-time threat protections like Email Reputation and Web Reputation work together with leading content security technologies, allowing you to connect and collaborate with confidence.

Real-Time Communication and Collaboration

Email, instant messaging, and collaboration systems connect your employees, partners, and customers. Together, these tools build stronger business ties and improve productivity.

Fast-Moving Threats Strike in an Instant

While instant connections are essential for your business to keep pace, they also open doors to cybercriminals who are continually looking for new ways to enter your network. In this real-time environment, attackers can spread malware, hijack systems, and steal data—in the blink of an eye.

Blended, multi-staged, and serial email attacks have grown more deceptive, often luring victims to visit fraudulent sites or execute malicious code.

Similar sophisticated attacks are targeting instant messaging and collaboration systems where activities like file sharing, chat, and blog posting elevate your risk—especially when it is opened to external parties.

Instant Connections Require Instant Protections

To prevent instant exposure, instant protection is critical. Trend Micro™ Enterprise Security for Communication and Collaboration protects your Microsoft mail, IM, and collaboration servers by stopping threats—fast—before they can strike.

The Power of Four: Enterprise Security for Communication and Collaboration

This 4-in-1 solution locks down all avenues of attack. And with centralized management, optimized performance, and tight platform integration, the suite reduces administration.

Less Time on the Defense. More Time to be Proactive.

With Trend Micro Control Manager™, the integrated suite simplifies security updates, threat response, and remote management across products. This means you have more time to be proactive and optimize security.
