    18 July 2014 – As more organisations transition to the cloud for increased efficiencies and streamlined management of IT infrastructure, Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), a global leader in cloud security, today announced upcoming new and enhanced capabilities for Microsoft Office 365 customers.

    These expanded services demonstrate Trend Micro’s commitment to delivering solutions that help secure cloud architectures combined with centralized management, and comprehensive protection controls to help guard against data loss and advanced malware within Microsoft Corp.’s existing infrastructure.

    “Our history with Microsoft runs deep, and our approach to providing customers with sound security-enhanced options will help users achieve the full benefits and ROI the cloud has to offer,” said Goh Chee Hoh, Managing Director for Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia, Trend Micro Inc. “This complementary approach to security will help enable Microsoft partners to address their customers’ concerns so they can more effectively close deals. As the largest, pure-play security software provider, we are deeply committed to being innovators in cloud protection as adoption surges across global industries.”

    Trend Micro helps enhance Microsoft environments with multi-layered threat and data protection that encompasses endpoints, Web and email. To better support channel partners’ ability to sell Trend Micro’s additional solutions for Microsoft Office 365, these centrally managed solutions will be available as part of the Trend Micro Smart Protection Complete suite.

    This interconnected set of security offerings delivers protection at endpoint, application and network levels to protect users with the broadest range of anti-malware capabilities available to thwart attacks such as Citadel, Luuuk, SpyEye and ZeuS. The suite enables organizations to tailor their defence based on their unique business requirements with flexible on-premise, cloud and hybrid deployment models that fit dynamic IT environments as they transition to the cloud.

    “The cloud lets businesses stay focused on their customers and profits, rather than worrying about the limitations of lengthy deployment processes or outdated technology,” said Kim Akers, General Manager, Microsoft. “Companies like Trend Micro have a breadth of knowledge about data security that helps secure cloud applications, and complement our solutions.”

    At this year’s Microsoft World Partner Conference, Trend Micro will highlight new security offerings for Microsoft Office 365, including:

    Trend Micro™ Cloud App Security
    This new offering works directly with Office 365 using a Microsoft API for Exchange Online, SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business. By providing data at rest encryption with customer-managed keys, customers will have added control of their data while preserving Office 365 functionality.

    It also helps reduce risk with advanced malware scanning through sandbox analysis and simplifies compliance with data loss prevention.

    Trend Micro™ Hosted Email Security
    Currently, Trend Micro Hosted Email Security provides top performing spam and malware filtering for Office 365, helping protect users by scanning emails for malicious attachments and URLs, spam and graymail, and phishing attacks. The coming update includes enhanced spear phishing protection and hidden malware detection.

    “Working with both Microsoft and Trend Micro allows us to offer powerful solutions that will help our customers’ businesses grow by providing user-friendly technology that drives productivity and profitability,” said Mike Hogan, Microsoft General Manager, En Pointe Technologies. “We are excited to learn that Trend Micro is continuing to invest in its Microsoft relationship. Microsoft’s cloud services meet the needs of a wide variety of our customers, and the inclusion of Trend Micro gives us the ability to create an even stronger selling point.”

    Trend Micro offers a comprehensive range of security-enhanced solutions for Microsoft environments, including Deep Security™, SecureCloud™ and PortalProtect™ in support of Azure, SharePoint and Agent Extension. Additionally, Trend Micro solutions now support Exchange, SharePoint and Lync servers, on-premises or in the cloud. Trend Micro is also a member of Microsoft Active Protections Program to help protect against zero-day vulnerabilities announced in Microsoft Security Advisories.
