Comparative Testing continued malicious website is registered in the Trend Micro reputation database, a warning box is displayed informing the user that the website is dangerous and is then blocked. For additional protection against webthreats, Trend Micro has included TrendProtect reputation scanning of search engine results, another proactive technology which rates the safety of websites provided in web search engine results before the sites are accessed. WFBS-A was one of two products that includes this functionality and was able to classify more results on Google than the other products tested. In order to protect against financially motivated malware, which targets keystrokes entered into web-browsers, Trend Micro has also included a Transaction Protector which helps block keylogging activities by encrypting passwords, social security card numbers, and credit card numbers so keyloggers can’t get your data.* Without having access to the samples before the independent testing, WFBS-A was able to detect and nullify all the keyloggers used in the tests. In the event of a malware outbreak it’s important to have a product which makes threat containment and malware cleanup simple and easy. WFBS-A has the Outbreak Defense and Damage Cleanup features to address threat containment needs, backed by a policy-based technology which prevents the spread of a malware outbreak whilst automatically disinfecting and cleaning any machines that might already be infected. In addition to protecting against keyloggers, WFBS-A adds the ability to filter IM and email content for sensitive data, protecting against the malicious or accidental external transfer of confidential corporate data. As this technology feature is customisable, not only can users prevent their own proprietary data from s *Trend Micro has removed the keystroke encryption function in post-5.0 versions of Worry-Free Business Security Standard and Advanced. 8

WFBS-A was the only product tested that allowed the user to dictate what content should be protected in their unique business environment. Securing the email attack vector poses increasing challenges. With an everincreasing level of unwanted emails such as those with malware as well as phishing and spam, it’s imperative to have good multi-layer protection against these ever-present threats. All the vendor products tested provide malware detection for email-based malicious threats, but WFBS-A was the only product which offered host-based spam blocking capabilities based on IP addresses. This IP-based spam technology was able to detect 89% of spam with all functionality except the POP3 plug-in disabled. When the spam content filtering technology was fully enabled WFBS-A’s multi-layered antispam technologies blocked 96% of the spam it received, using a combination of IP-reputation technology and content scanning technology. To help protect the mobile user, Worry-Free Business Security now contains Location Awareness, which provides both in- and outof-office security policy control for the Trend Micro Firewall, Web Threat Protection, and TrendSecure technologies, which are key components of the overall WFBS-A solution. In the tests carried out by West Coast Labs, Worry-Free Business Security accurately identified the transition from the known-good network to that of the new one. The settings were recorded as switching to the Out-of- Office technology and users were protected as if they were still within the corporate network. The tests showed that Trend Micro’s s 9
