Trend Micro: InterScan Gateway Security Appliance

Trend Micro InterScan Gateway Security Appliance is designed for mid-sized organizations looking for an easy to install, easy to maintain content security solution. Their press release reads - While protecting corporate and personal data, the appliance supports employee productivity and it includes an anti-bot functionality to help prevent internal PC's from becoming zombies.

This new all-in-one secure content management appliance incorporates antivirus, anti-spyware, anti-spam, content filtering and URL filtering into one seamless unit. Unlike UTM (unified threat management) appliances, InterScan Gateway Security Appliance sits behind a customer's existing firewall/VPN solution adding an additional layer to their Internet gateway security.

For medium-sized organizations, Trend Micro has launched a choice of solutions, dependant on infrastructure and business need. Trend Micro has levered its expertise in enterprise security and small business security to develop new hardware, software and services that fit appropriately into the evolving mid-market infrastructure.

Smaller organizations are supported through Trend Micro worry-free solutions, providing smaller businesses with easy to install, easy to deploy and maintain, worry-free security protection. The single solution offers a combination of features including antivirus, anti-spyware and anti-spam.

"The option of a security appliance at the gateway can yield significant savings for SMB customers from a management perspective," observed Chris Christiansen, vice president, Security Products & Services for IDC. "Having a single cohesive security architecture, such as that offered by Trend Micro, to handle multiple types of threats, provides simplified means to enable security policies with fewer resources."

With six models to choose from (IGSA 100, 200, 300, 600, 800, and 1000) list pricing starts at $4,490.
