Trend Micro Unveils Next-Gen Email Security

Trend Micro Incorporated , a prominent player in the field of cybersecurity, has announced the introduction of its new Trend Micro Email Security system. This state-of-the-art cybersecurity solution employs a comprehensive mix of advanced threat detection techniques that span multiple generations, including machine learning, sandboxing, data loss prevention (DLP), and other strategies to combat all forms of email threats. Geared towards serving the Middle East and Africa, this solution will be hosted within the United Arab Emirates.

In the modern era where digital communication is vital for business operations, email remains an essential yet vulnerable channel. It faces a myriad of security challenges, including the threats of ransomware and business email compromise (BEC). Trend Micro’s Mid-Year Cybersecurity Report highlights the gravity of this situation in the MEA region. In just the first half of the year, the company’s solutions identified and neutralized over 475 million threats, with 281 million being email-based. These staggering numbers demonstrate the critical need for robust email security measures to adapt to the constantly changing threat environment.

Dr. Moataz Bin Ali, Regional Vice President and Managing Director, MMEA, at Trend Micro, emphasizes the importance of email as a key element in organizational communication, while also acknowledging its vulnerability to a wide range of cyber threats. “In an era where digital communication is fundamental, email has become a primary target for persistent cyber threats,” he stated. “In these challenging times, Trend Micro remains a dedicated protector in the realm of digital security. Our latest product launch reinforces our steadfast dedication to ensuring a safe digital space, allowing organizations to operate with assurance and tranquility.”
