Unique Email and Web Reputation

Our reputation services are powered by the Trend Micro Smart Protection Network with more than a hundred million threat sensors in the cloud—so you get faster protection against rapidly evolving threats. Email, web and file threat data is correlated in the cloud, giving you the benefit of better accuracy and responsiveness.

Hybrid SaaS Email Security

InterScan Messaging Security delivers fully integrated, multi-layered security that starts filtering spam and malicious email in the cloud. At the next layer, it queries cloud-based reputation databases and performs a final sweep at the network perimeter.

1. The cloud pre-filter is a SaaS offering included in the licensing agreement; deployment is optional. As a first layer of defense, it stops spam, phishing and malware, including malicious links—before they can reach your network. It reduces total email volumes up to 95%, minimizing the impact on your mail gateway and the drain on IT resources. No email is stored in the cloud to ensure data privacy.


2. Email and Web Reputation deliver immediate protection by sending real-time queries to the Trend Micro Smart Protection Network. Based on up-to-the-minute threat intelligence in the cloud, Email Reputation blocks mail from known spammers and cybercriminals, and Web Reputation blocks access to malicious websites.


3. Our advanced antispam engine identifies additional spam and phishing threats using signature files—for a layered defense.


4. Industry-leading anti-malware blocks the wide range of known threats based on signatures and heuristics.


5. The on-premise virtual appliance takes over once the heavy lifting is done. It scans inbound and outbound email based on flexible and customizable policies, including DLP filtering and encryption.
