Virus Protection for ATMs
Trend Micro intros virus protection for ATMs
LONDON — Trend Micro, a provider of network antivirus and Internet content security software and services, recently introduced its Network VirusWall 300 outbreak prevention appliance, designed to protect mission critical devices such as ATMs against the increasing threat of Internet worms.
According to a news release, Trend Micro Network VirusWall 300 deploys threat-specific knowledge from TrendLabsSM, Trend Micro’s global network of antivirus research centers, at network endpoints to help organizations proactively detect, prevent or contain and eliminate outbreaks. "Network worms continue to be problematic as financial institutions and enterprises deploy mission-critical devices such as ATMs and self-service kiosks on TCP/IP networks. Experience has shown that network worm attacks are particularly difficult to contain with traditional, signature-based client and parameter virus filtering," said Maria Kun, a research analyst at Gartner. "Enterprises are looking for proactive protection policies, rapid identification of rogue/infected devices, and the ability to isolate and remotely repair infected
devices during an outbreak."
Trend Micro Network VirusWall 300 is deployed in front of network endpoints such as ATMs to protect them from network threats. The appliance incorporates a Web-based management
console, Trend Micro Control Manager, for Network VirusWall 300 which allows network managers to centrally control Network VirusWall 300s. Raimund Genes, Trend Micro's president of European Operations,
said the product offers protection against network worms for IP-enabled ATMs from any ATM vendor. Trend Micro Network VirusWall 300 and Trend Micro Control Manager for Network VirusWall 300 are expected to be available in December. The Trend Micro Network VirusWall 300 is sold on a per-unit basis; The Trend Micro Control Manager for Network VirusWall 300 management software is sold on a per-system basis. Volume discounts will apply to both products.
Tokyo-based corporation Trend Micro has its European headquarters in Marlow, England, and business units worldwide. Trend Micro products are sold through corporate, value-added
resellers and managed service providers.
