Trend Micro Security for Macintosh 1.5

Overview:

With the increased adoption of Apple Macintosh computers in business environments, it has become increasingly difficult for enterprises to provide comprehensive threat protection for the entire network. Administrators in heterogeneous corporate networks struggle to deliver the same level of protection to Mac OS-based endpoints and to prevent them from storing and propagating malware—even if targeted at other platforms. Furthermore the growing adoption of Mac OS makes it an increasingly interesting target for profit-driven malware writers, resulting in a growing number of malware attacks targeting the Mac OS platform.

Protecting Users and Supporting Corporate Antivirus Policies

As a plug-in for OfficeScan Client-Server Suite, Trend Micro Security for Mac 1.5 leverages Trend Micro™ Smart Protection Network to proactively limit exposure to threats. Real-time, in-the-cloud Web Reputation technology prevents users and applications from accessing malicious web content. Combined with powerful detection capabilities for malware that targets various operating systems, Trend Micro Security for Mac supports a consistent security deployment across all endpoints, regardless of their form factor or operating system. As part of Trend Micro Enterprise Security, this solution helps ensure immediate protection and less complexity for all endpoints.
