Calling it a strong security ecosystem focused on mitigating risk, RSA FraudAction customers will get a bit of a boost as RSA joins forces with Trend Micro to use Trend’s Smart Protection Network.
RSA and Trend Micro team up to thwart online attacks.
RSA’s FraudAction is a service available though the RSA Identity Protection and Verification Suite. It’s designed to track, block and eventually shutdown Phishing, Trojan and other attacks online. According to RSA’s figures, the service has closed more than 260,000 illegal sites across the globe in 140 countries.
"This inventive collaboration between two leaders in online security is another step ahead in the fight against the global cyber-threat that continues to escalate as online fraudsters become more organized and effective than ever," said Tom Corn, vice president of Product Marketing at RSA.
"The ability to combat cybercriminals requires a far more purposeful collaboration within the industry - such as that between RSA and Trend Micro - and a strong security ecosystem focused on mitigating risk."
What the partnership with Trend Micro will focus on is a deeper level of detection. Trend Micro will hook FraudAction into their Smart Protection Network so they can get faster insight into all of the things they were protecting against before.
Trend Micro’s Smart Protection Network is a hybrid of protection models. Trend Micro developed the offering by combining traditional threat databases, with reputation-based technology that monitors both email and the Web for problems. The backbone of the Smart Protection network is the cloud operations. As more customers hook into Trend Micro’s community, the larger the detection and coverage base grows.
While no technical specifics were included with the announcement, the actual partnership is well underway, so FraudAction customers are already seeing results from it.
