Comprehensive solution addresses developing need for mid-market
appliances that provide a combination of agent-less policy
enforcement and anti-malware at the critical endpoints of the
network. CUPERTINO, Calif., April 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Trend Micro Incorporated (TSE:4704TSE:Nasdaq:TSE:TMIC), a leader in
network antivirus and content security software and services, today
offered Network VirusWall(TM) Enforcer 1200, a second-generation
Network Access Control (NAC) appliance for the mid-market. Network
VirusWall Enforcer 1200 is designed to enable support teams to
automatically require that all devices - managed or unmanaged,
local or remote - comply with security policies before they're
granted access to corporate networks. Designed for medium to large
organizations, Network VirusWall Enforcer 1200 is ideal for smaller
sites, remote offices and VPN- connected networks. One of the first
NAC appliances for mid-sized organizations, Network VirusWall
Enforcer 1200 has been tuned to meet the performance needs of mid-
sized businesses, and includes functionality that scans devices for
security software, critical patches, and current updates. It
combines granular policy enforcement with automatic worm
prevention. Many web-based threats, including worms and bots,
infect instantly upon connection to the Internet -- before policy
enforcement takes effect. Network VirusWall Enforcer provides
immediate protection by filtering network traffic to detect and
prevent such threats. Trend Micro(TM) Network VirusWall Enforcer
1200 network access control device caters to a largely under-served
and yet massive population of mid- sized business. While these
businesses often lack significant IT resources, they typically
require enterprise-class functionality and performance while
looking to establish long-standing, strategic partnerships with
technology vendors. In fact, Trend Micro recently received the
highest overall ranking among major mid-market technology vendors
according to US-based CIOs surveyed CIO Insight. The 2006 survey
included three main categories -- vendor value, reliability and
loyalty -- and elicited CIO's response to each vendor's ability to
meet expectations, solve business problems, and demonstrate
flexibility and responsiveness when working with their mid-market
customers. Overwhelmingly, Trend Micro received high marks and was
the only content security vendor within the top 10 technology
companies recognized. Part of the Network VirusWall family of
appliances, Network VirusWall Enforcer 1200 is priced to meet the
requirements of mid-market customers. In a February 5 network
access control product round-up conducted by InfoWorld Magazine,
the enterprise-class Trend Micro Network VirusWall Enforcer 2500
received the top score. In the article, "NAC Smorgasbord: Four Ways
to Police the Network," InfoWorld praised Trend Micro's Network
VirusWall Enforcer 2500 for offering a comprehensive, browser-based
NAC policy management interface that simplifies policy
configuration and provides administrators an effortless cleanup
option for end points. InfoWorld also found Network VirusWall
Enforcer's integration with Active Directory and LDAP to be a clear
advantage in that administrators could differentiate between
authenticated and unauthenticated guests and employees in those
environments. Pricing and Availability Network VirusWall Enforcer
1200 is available immediately in North America with prices starting
at $8995.00 USD. About Trend Micro Incorporated Trend Micro
