Trend Micro InterScan Web Security Suite 3.1
Comprehensive web-threat protection at the gateway

Overview:
Cyber criminals are increasingly spreading profit-driven malware using the web. It’s the fastest growing threat vector today. These sophisticated web threats are designed to embed in PCs and adapt rapidly to avoid detection by signature-based security. Without a strong defense at the Internet gateway, web threats can enter your network, steal customer data, degrade productivity, and hurt your bottom line.
InterScan™ Web Security Suite provides immediate protection against web threats by integrating multiple layers of protection at the internet gateway. This high-performance software combines award-winning antivirus and antispyware with cloud-based Web Reputation security, which leverages the Trend Micro™ Smart Protection Network to detect and block web threats based on source reputation. InterScan Web Security Suite also filters HTTP and FTP traffic and triggers agent-less cleanup when spyware activity is detected. As a key component of Trend Micro™ Enterprise Security, it offers a highly scalable platform and centralized management—for immediate protection with less complexity.

Trend Micro™ Smart Protection Network
Trend Micro’s gateway security is powered by the Trend Micro™ Smart Protection Network, which
correlates web, email, and file threat data in the cloud to block threats before they can attack. If
one component of a threat is rated with a bad reputation, it is automatically blocked across all
components—so you are protected immediately whether it’s embedded links, dangerous downloads,
or websites with malicious content.
