Trend Micro InterScan Messaging Security Virtual Appliance

Overview:

More than 90% of all email is spam. And even your savviest employees can click on a malicious link, exposing your enterprise to cybercrime.

Trend Micro™ InterScan™ Messaging Security Virtual Appliance, is a hybrid SaaS email security solution that integrates proactive protection in the cloud with the privacy and control of an on-premise, virtual appliance.
