Trend Micro Incorporated, a provider of network antivirus and content security, today announced InterScan Messaging Security Appliance, a comprehensive solution for enterprises to address email-based threats including spam, phishing, bots, spyware and viruses, as well as content compliance.

The company says that with the release of InterScan Messaging Security Appliance, customers can receive the same email security on either software or an appliance, enabling them to pick the solution that best fits their network environment. While InterScan Messaging Security Appliance offers the same security features and flexible policy implementation as its software predecessor InterScan Messaging Security Suite, the appliance form factor provides throughput with hardware redundancy to ensure continuous security.

A new version of Network Reputation Services is integrated into InterScan Messaging Security Appliance in addition to being available as a standalone service. Released today, Network Reputation Services provides a new portal that allows customers to set policies for their specific email environment while also enabling customers to easily set specific email blacklist/whitelist policies.

"Trend Micro remains the global leader in gateway security because we never lose sight of product innovation-everything from new and improved levels of threat protection to catering to the form-factor preferences of our broad customer base, with the release of InterScan Messaging Security Appliance, Trend Micro is combining its best-of-breed email security with the performance advantages of a hardware appliance to specifically address customers with exceptionally demanding network requirements," said Max Cheng, General Manager Trend Micro Enterprise Business Operations.
