Trend Micro has earned a "Recommend" rating for its over-time protection rating and unique malicious site blocking score in the Q2 2010 NSS Labs Endpoint Protection Products Group Test Report covering socially-engineered malware. Not sponsored or funded by any security vendor, the NSS Labs test emulated the experiences of average users and focussed on threats active on the Internet gathered from the company’s extensive intelligence network.
"For the last two years, NSS Labs has been an instrumental leader in establishing a new scientific baseline of endpoint protection effectiveness based on threat detection rates and time-to-block," said Amit Nath, Country Manager, India & SAARC, Trend Micro. "The purpose of NSS Labs testing standards - to determine how well security products protect users from socially-engineered malware - aligns with Trend Micro's mission of going beyond simple detection rates and focussing on protecting the customer from 'real-world' threats, and the speed and aggressiveness with which cybercriminals are moving."
This year, the Trend Micro OfficeScan product was rated the best at protecting against socially-engineered malware. OfficeScan achieved an over-time protection rating of 95.2 per cent, a unique malicious site blocking score of 86 per cent, and caught 60.6 per cent of zero-hour blocks, the percentage of threats blocked upon first exposure to the endpoint.
Trend Micro OfficeScan is powered by the Trend Micro Smart Protection Network infrastructure. Through the Smart Protection Network, Trend Micro scans, filters and correlates more than 45 billion emails, websites and files every single day, and then leverages that data to rapidly identify and respond to emerging threats, and improve the existing response to known threats.
