With cybercrime becoming increasingly pervasive, attack methods and
tactics continue to evolve. To keep pace, risk-conscious organizations
need adaptive capabilities to quickly detect and respond to the
onslaught of threats faced on a daily basis. Trend
Micro Incorporated (TYO:
4704; TSE:
4704), a global leader in security software, today announced it will
showcase its solutions to support customers in their defense against,
and response to, targeted attacks at RSA
Conference 2015.
“Last year, hacking incidents accounted for 29 percent of data breaches
tracked by the Identity
Theft Research Center, making it the leading cause of breaches
tracked by the research firm,” said Eva Chen, CEO, Trend Micro. “The
tailor-made nature of these sophisticated attacks makes it imperative
for us to provide our customers with a solution that can constantly
enhance their protection capabilities based on specific threats.”
Trend Micro is helping protect the healthcare industry, a primary
segment targeted by cybercriminals, against the latest threats. For
example, University
of Florida Health Shands Healthcare, the Southeast’s most
comprehensive academic health center, which encompasses the University
of Florida Health Science Center and the UF Health Shands and UF Health
Jacksonville family of hospitals and services, relies on Trend Micro’s
solutions, such as Deep Discovery, for comprehensive protection against
targeted attacks. With Trend Micro, UFHSH is better able to protect its
patients’ personal data across cloud-based and on premise IT
infrastructure. In addition, patient data is secured from any endpoint,
from mobile devices to desktops, allowing physicians to quickly address
patient needs anywhere, anytime, with a dramatically reduced opportunity
to be compromised.
“The healthcare industry is a huge and growing target for cybercriminals
due to both the large volume of patient data and its value on the cyber
black market,” said Tim Nance, information security manager at UF Health
Shands Healthcare. “With Deep Discovery, we now have comprehensive
breach discovery – and it works with all of Trend Micro’s other
solutions to provide centralized visibility across our enterprise. From
endpoints and mobile devices to the data center, we can stay on top of
threats as they are detected to provide better protection.”
Featuring comprehensive monitoring and detection, Trend
Micro™ Deep Discovery enables organizations to rapidly detect,
analyze and respond to targeted attacks as well as the most advanced
threats. The solution proactively updates itself once suspicious
activity is detected by integrating its findings into all other Trend
Micro solutions to continually improve protection capabilities.
Trend Micro Deep Discovery detects and remediates threats by:
-
Monitoring all network traffic, all network ports and more than 80+
protocols and applications, in addition to web and email traffic
-
Using custom sandbox images to match desktop environments and maximize
detection of advanced and targeted threats
-
Using multiple layers of detection of advanced threats to identify
targeted attacks and advanced threats anywhere in the network and
across a broad range of systems, including Microsoft Windows, Mac OS
X, Android and Linux
“To protect against the growing proliferation of specialized
cyber-threats, organizations should consider employing synchronized
solutions that detect, analyze and prevent threats by sharing
intelligence across the platform,” said Chris Christiansen, program vice
president, Security Products and Services, IDC. “Deep Discovery helps
achieve this end by sharing intelligence across Trend Micro solutions,
thereby providing adaptive threat detection and remediation capabilities
as the threat landscape evolves.”
Customers
also benefit from integration with solutions from alliance partners such
as HP
and IBM
that combine the power of those platforms with Deep Discovery’s threat
defense capabilities.
At RSA
Conference 2015, Trend Micro security experts will be on-hand at
booth No. 1607 to discuss security strategies and solutions to defend
organizations against targeted attacks. Attendees will also have the
opportunity to test their skills during the “Targeted
Attack: The Game” experience that allows users to make first-hand
decisions before, during and after a simulated targeted attack.
In addition to demos, the company’s chief cybersecurity officer, Tom
Kellermann, will present with FBI Special Agent, Mark Ray, at the
following session:
