New solution helps customers securely store and quickly access archived email; includes rapid e-discovery, compliance, tamper-proof architecture, and “privacy-guard.”
Cupertino, Calif. – March 10, 2008 – Trend Micro Incorporated (TSE: 4704), a leader in network antivirus and Internet content security software and services, announced today its message archiving solution designed to help companies archive with accessibility and encryption, reduce email management costs, and protect and preserve the integrity of their electronic data.
Trend Micro™ Message Archiver (TMMA) delivers a fast, on-demand email search capability so employees can quickly access any archived email without leaving Microsoft™ Outlook™, or the need for IT support; installation time averages 30 minutes. The solution’s tamper-resistant design, combined with forensics technology that uses digital fingerprinting and encryption, ensures that emails are authentic and un-altered for automatic legal compliance. In today’s regulatory environment, this is a critical component and another reason why analysts predict the message archiving market will reach $1.37 billion in 2011.[1]
In a recent survey of IT administrators for mid-size companies, more than three quarters of them cite privacy safeguards to be especially important in an email archiving solution.[2] Trend Micro Message Archiver’s “privacy-guard,” a distinctive feature compared to other solutions, tracks and logs email searches by authorized users and sends an audit of them to a designated “data guardian” in order to safeguard employee privacy. Privacy-guard avoids potential abuse by privileged users and guarantees email searches occur for valid purposes.
“It’s no surprise that email volume for companies is growing rapidly – nearly everyone uses it on a daily basis. And because of the tremendous amount of intellectual property that’s stored in email, our customers have been asking for efficient message archiving to complement their Trend Micro content-security solutions,” said Steve Quane, executive general manager for Trend Micro’s small and medium business unit. “Message Archiver addresses our customers’ need for compliance, data protection, authenticity of data, easy management of large quantities of email, and employee privacy.”
“Trend Micro Message Archiver was a quick installation; it was also easy to learn how to manage the system – no extra training was needed,” said Seth Bjorn, network engineer for Goodwill Industries of Orange County. “As a mid-size company, we need something that is effective but doesn’t consume a lot of time and money. Trend Micro Message Archiver addresses our need for compliance, our need to store huge amounts of emails securely, and our need to be able to access and search for these archived emails quickly and easily.”
