Trend Micro will augment content-security solutions with the addition
of innovative data leak prevention experts, technology and products
CUPERTINO, Calif. and TOKYO, Nov. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Trend Micro
Incorporated (TSE: 4704), a leader in network antivirus and Internet
content security software and services, announced today a definitive
agreement to acquire Provilla, Inc., a leading provider of
fingerprint-based intelligent endpoint solutions for data leak
prevention (DLP) in organizations. Under the agreement, Provilla will
operate as a subsidiary of Trend Micro's U.S. affiliate. Provilla's
data leak prevention experts as well as technology and products will
enhance the Trend Micro portfolio of easily deployed and managed
multi-layered content-security solutions for business customers.
Organizations of all sizes are vulnerable to data leaks that expose
them to security, intellectual property, monetary, privacy and
compliance threats. On-the-move workers, equipped with unsecured,
unprotected mobile computers, may inadvertently or intentionally
expose confidential company information via wireless networks. With
an ever increasing array of USB-based devices, all corporate desktops
are now also at risk. An organization's time, money, and reputation
are at risk when such a data leak occurs, with security professionals
urgently attempting to recover sensitive data and mend the leak.
Enterprise security professionals are in constant battle: Even when
old leaks are controlled, new data leaks frequently occur through a
plethora of other endpoints. Provilla technology intelligently
controls leaks at multiple endpoints. The technology also lets
organizations know the exact locations of sensitive data for active
and effective control. Provilla products also educate and sensitize
end users to corporate policies and regulatory requirements.
"Trend Micro is focused on providing customers with the most useful,
intelligent, centrally-controlled content-security solutions to
address the latest unpredictable, malicious threats entering or
leaving organizations, and that includes intentional or inadvertent
data leaks," said Eva Chen, CEO and co-founder of Trend Micro.
"Solving this growing problem will require broader and deeper insight
into the multiple endpoint data leak vulnerabilities and the use of
intelligent solutions that can identify sensitive data and prevent
its misuse through endpoint devices and channels. The acquisition of
Provilla strengthens our ability to execute on our content-security
strategy, with technology and products complementing our own."
"As demand for DLP solutions has ramped quickly, we have been able to
meet the need with a steady stream of innovative products and
advancements primarily because of a stellar group of Provilla
technologists," said Shu Huang, chief technical officer, Provilla.
"Our people are excited by the opportunity to join forces with the
Trend Micro team, which is known for a commitment to technical
innovation and to customers globally that starts at the top and
permeates the ranks. We see this as an opportunity to build a
complete data leak prevention product suite that fits with Trend
Micro's philosophy of central security management." Trend Micro will
continue to offer Provilla's stand-alone products for the near term
as well as gradually integrate Provilla's capabilities into its own
enterprise, small and medium business solutions. Provilla products
are deployed in North America, China, Taiwan, Europe and Japan.
