Overview
More than 90 percent of all email is spam. With the rise of targeted spear phishing, even your savviest employees can mistakenly click on a malicious link and expose your enterprise to cybercrime.
Trend Micro Interscan Messaging Security provides the most comprehensive protection against both traditional and targeted attacks. Using the correlated intelligence from Trend Micro™ Smart Protection Network™ and optional sandbox execution analysis, it blocks spam, phishing, and advanced persistent threats (APTs). The included hybrid SaaS deployment option combines a powerful gateway virtual appliance with a SaaS prefilter that stops majority of threats and spam in the cloud—closer to their source. This hybrid solution delivers the best of both worlds: the privacy and control of an on-premises appliance with an in-the-cloud pre-filter for resource efficiency and proactive protection. The Data Privacy and Encryption Module solves the toughest regulatory compliance and data protection challenges by securing outbound data. This optional module offers easy-to-use identity-based encryption and customizable data loss prevention (DLP) templates for quick deployment.

Targeted attacks require a network defense
Trend Micro messaging security products provide protection against targeted attacks with enhanced web reputation, an advanced threat scan detection engine, social engineering attack protection, and a threat analysis appliance that blocks highly targeted email attacks by using sandbox execution analysis. Integration of these components provides a network defense that enables you to detect, analyze, adapt, and respond to targeted attacks.
Interscan Messaging Security Components
InterScan Messaging Security has been enriched with built-in protections against targeted attacks.
- Enhanced Web Reputation blocks emails with malicious URLs in the message body or in attachments. Its powered by the Trend Micro™ Smart Protection Network™ which correlates threat information with big data analytics and predictive technology
- Advanced Threat Scan Engine detects advanced malware in Adobe PDF, MS Office, and other documents formats using static and heuristic logic to detect known and zero-day exploits. When integrated with Deep Discovery Analyzer, it quarantines suspicious attachments for automatic sandbox execution analysis which occurs in-line without impacting the delivery of majority of messages
- Social Engineering Attack Protection identifies targeted attack emails by correlating email components such as the header, body, and network routing
Deep Discovery Analyzer Components (Additional Purchase)
Deep Discovery Analyzer is a hardware appliance that provides sandboxing, deep threat analysis, and local security updates in a unified intelligence platform that is the heart of Trend Micro Network Defense.
- Custom Threat Analysis provides automatic in-depth simulation analysis of potentially malicious attachments, including executables and common office documents in a secure sandbox environment. It allows customers to create and analyze multiple customized target images that precisely match their host environments
- Custom Threat Intelligence analyzes logs of Trend Micro products and third-party solutions combined with Trend Micro threat intelligence to provide in-depth insights for risk-based incident assessment, containment and remediation
- Adaptive Security Updates issues custom security updates on new malicious download sites and targeted attack command and control (C&C) locations found during sandbox analysis. Custom updates enable adaptive protection and remediation by Trend Micro endpoint, data center, and web security products, and third-party security layers
