Trend Micro Announces Comprehensive Capabilities for Microsoft Office 365 Customers

DALLAS and WASHINGTON, July 15, 2014

"Our history with Microsoft runs deep, and our approach to providing customers with sound security-enhanced changes will help users achieve the full benefits and ROI the cloud has to offer," said Partha Panda, vice president, global channels and strategic alliances, Trend Micro. "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 defense 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focused on their customers and profits, rather than worrying about the limitations of lengthy deployment processes or outdated technology," said Kim Akers, general manager, Microsoft.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 help 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 spam² 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.
