Trend Micro Mobile Security 5.5

Overview:

The wide use and increasing capabilities of smartphones and PDAs introduce security risks to the enterprise that parallel those for laptop computers. Analysts predict that data-centric mobile devices will become a major target for virus writers, hackers, as well as pose a risk to data confidentiality. Lost or stolen devices can endanger confidential business data, compliance efforts and business reputations. Businesses suffer the costs from downtime, stolen data, infections, lost employee productivity, and cleanup.

Trend Micro™ Mobile Security protects smartphones and PDAs from data loss, infections, and attacks from a central enterprise console that can also manage desktop protection. Encryption and authentication defends data integrity on lost or stolen devices. The anti-malware features block viruses, worms, Trojans, and SMS text message spam. Built-in firewall and IDS protects against hackers, intrusions, and denial-of-service attacks–potential threats to the increasing number of Wi-Fi-enabled mobile devices.

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 and enables robust policy compliance.

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.
