IDG News Service - Security vendor Trend Micro Inc. today is expected to announce its first antispyware product for enterprise users. The product, called Anti-Spyware Enterprise Edition, incorporates software the company gained in its May acquisition of InterMute and is one of multiple product announcements Trend Micro plans to make.
The enterprise antispyware product will give security administrators more detailed control over security settings than Trend Micro's existing antispyware offerings. It can automatically discover and then "silently" deliver software to desktops without disturbing desktop users, said Bob Hansmann, a senior product marketing manager at Trend Micro.
Trend Micro has integrated InterMute CWShredder software into the new product, which makes it particularly effective at detecting the CoolWebSearch spyware variants. Anti-Spyware Enterprise Edition has also been designed to work with other desktop security products, so users can adopt the product without necessarily using Trend Micro's antivirus products, Hansmann said.
Also expected is an update of the company's PC-cillin Internet Security suite and an updated 3.0 version of the company's Client Server Security and Client Server Messaging Security products for small and midsize businesses.
PC-cillin Internet Security 2006 will include new antiphishing features as well as improved antivirus, antispyware and home network protection, Trend Micro said.
A one-year subscription to Anti-Spyware Enterprise Edition costs $11.55 per user for companies with more than 500 users. Pricing for PC-cillin will remain unchanged at $49.95, with a $24.95 renewal fee. Both products will be available today.
Client Server Security for SMB 3.0 will ship in November and is priced at $23.63 per user per year. Client Server Messaging Security, which includes antispam and antiphishing software, is priced at $45.15 per user per year. Trend Micro also expects to begin shipping the new Client Server Security products sometime next month.
