Trend Micro Mobile Security

Overview:

Trend Micro™ Mobile Security is an integrated mobile device, security and mobile application management solution within a single management framework that enables organizations to manage the security of their PC s* and mobile devices from a single console. With the proliferation of high-end mobile devices, many employees are bringing their consumer-grade PCs, tablets, and smartphones into the workplace. They are using these personal devices in both their personal and professional lives.

By restoring visibility and control of mobile devices, Mobile Security allows IT managers to embrace a BYO D work structure, resulting in improved productivity and flexibility of the workforce as well as reduced IT costs. It also extends protection beyond traditional PC s to help businesses manage and secure these mobile devices and the data they contain by enforcing the use of passwords, encrypting data, and when necessary, remotely wiping data from lost or stolen devices.

Regain Control

As personal and professional lives become more intertwined, employees are using their own consumer-grade PC s, tablets, and smartphones for work. The emergence of the "Consumerization of IT ," is forcing organizations to not only allow, but also support powerful, high-end mobile devices purchased by the individual.

Consumerization raises new and significant challenges for corporate IT departments, such as:

• How do we support these devices if we don't know what they are?
• How can we maximize visibility?
• How can we secure our networks and data, if we can't control the devices?
• How do we differentiate between corporate and personal data on employee-owned devices that are accessing the network?

Mobile Security provides management and security to enterprises and medium-sized businesses that want to embrace consumerization and unlock opportunities without compromising their IT infrastructure.

Protecting the wide range of consumer-grade mobile devices, such as iPhones, iPads, Android, and Blackberry devices, Mobile Security integrates mobile device management and uses threat prevention, data protection, and app management in a single point of control. It allows businesses to regain visibility and control, while offering staff the freedom to securely share data across physical, virtual, and cloud environments.

Data Encryption, Authentication, and Policy Enforcement

In-place real-time data encryption minimizes potential data leakage caused by lost or stolen devices. It also automatically encrypts emails, contacts, and calendars as well as the data on memory cards. On-device authentication policies enable device wiping for policy noncompliance, password history, time access restrictions, and use of PIN or password for access. This approach avoids the need for special “containers” or specific encrypted folders

Malware Scanning

Award-winning Trend Micro anti-malware technology detects and blocks viruses, worms, Trojans, spyware and evolving malicious mobile code on handhelds and storage cards. It performs automatic, real-time virus scans and allows mobile users to initiate manual scans.

Flexible Update

New pattern files and updates are developed by TrendLabs, a global research and support team that works around the clock to monitor malware activity, develop protection from new threats, and deliver effective security. Trend Micro Mobile Security delivers updated pattern files to the mobile device according to the administrator’s choice. Updates can be received via wireless data connection (WiFi, GPRS, EDGE, EV-DO, etc.) or by synchronizing with a PC via ActiveSync.

Firewall Security

A built-in firewall provides critical protection for the increasing number of Wi-Fi-enabled mobile devices. The firewall monitors inbound and outbound network traffic and blocks unauthorized activity, preventing data theft and disruption of service. Enterprise can adjust the firewall protection level and create a rule list based on their security needs.

Feature Lock

To align the use of smartphones and PDAs with corporate policies, Mobile Security 5.5 provides administrators with granular control over smartphone features such as built-in cameras, GPS receivers, or WiFi.

Centralized Management

The OfficeScan™ console enables administrators to centrally provision and manage Trend Micro Mobile Security policies and settings on handsets. IT managers can save resources by managing security for mobile devices and other endpoints from a single console.

Anti-Spam for SMS Text Messages

To block SMS text message spam, Trend Micro Mobile Security provides flexible anti-spam options including an approved sender list, a blocked sender list, and the ability to block SMS messages from unknown senders.
