As more organizations transition to the cloud for increased efficiencies and streamlined management of IT infrastructure, Trend Micro Incorporated, a global leader1 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 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focused on their customers and profits, rather than worrying about the limitations of lengthy deployment processes or outdated technology," said Kim Akers, general manager, Microsoft.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."
