Trend Micro expands network security product line

November 17, 2004

CUPERTINO, Calif. - Trend Micro, Inc. expanded its Trend Micro Network VirusWall line of outbreak prevention appliances with the introduction of Trend Micro Network VirusWall 2500 and 300, according to a news release.

Network worms have become growing threats to productivity and business continuity in the past year. Threats like "Nachi" and "Sasser" were even known to disrupt automated teller machines and self-service kiosks owned by leading banks and airlines. Trend Micro estimates there are currently more than 1,000 known network worms, variants and exploits.

Network VirusWall 300 is designed to help IT security administrators protect mission-critical devices that may not easily be protected using traditional software or server-based antivirus solutions, such as bank ATMs or self-service kiosks. Blocking unauthorized access to such devices, Network VirusWall 300 creates a two-way security barrier that protects customer-facing service machines from becoming launching points of infection to both the internal and the external networks to which they are connected.

Network VirusWall 2500 builds upon Network VirusWall 1200 by enabling IT security administrators to secure multiple network segments and mission-critical application servers through a single appliance. Gigabit Ethernet support provides IT security administrators with the flexibility to protect today's newer, high-bandwidth network infrastructures. Network VirusWall 2500 is ideal for large complex organizations capable of supporting thousands of concurrent users through a single appliance device.
