Trend Micro promises to improve its DLP
On the heels of an analyst report critical of its data leakage protection strategy, Trend Micro Inc. is revamping its DLP product, adding network-based capabilities by integrating it into its threat management appliances.
Eva Chen, CEO of the Tokyo-based security firm, said the network DLP threat management appliance will analyze up to 80 protocols, including Web, email or instant messaging traffic. The appliance will use the same engine as Trend's client-based DLP. The changes could come as early as next quarter.
"If anyone is sending sensitive information through, we can monitor it, notify, record it and, if they have the client agent installed, we can also block it," Chen said in an interview with SearchSecurity.com.
