Marketing description

Web threats are growing at an exponential rate, and according to TrendLabs, nearly 50% of all legitimate sites are hosting malware. URL filtering solutions that rely on periodic updates to local databases cannot keep pace with these rapidly-evolving threats. In addition, the growing complexity of IT infrastructure and Web 2.0 add to the security challenge. Administrators lack timely, actionable information about how the Internet is being used. At the same time, IT managers face economic pressure to reduce costs while improving web security.
InterScan Web Security Virtual Appliance addresses all of these problems with multi-layered, multi-threat web gateway security, which combines award-winning anti-malware with dynamic web reputation, and powerful URL filtering. When deployed with Trend Micro Advanced Reporting and Management, your administrators gain real-time visibility of Internet activity - enabling on-the-spot risk management. You will not only improve protection but also lower your costs.
