Trend Micro Network VirusWall

Trend Micro Authorised Reseller

Trend Micro Network VirusWall is an outbreak prevention appliance that helps organisations stop network viruses (Internet worms), block high threat vulnerabilities during outbreaks, and quarantine and clean-up infection sources including unprotected devices as they enter the network, using threat-specific knowledge from Trend Micro deployed at the network layer. Unlike security solutions that only monitor threats or provide threat information, Network VirusWall helps organisations take precise outbreak security actions and proactively detect, prevent or contain, and eliminate outbreaks. By deploying Network VirusWall in network LAN segments, organisations can significantly reduce their security risk, network downtime, and outbreak management burden. Network VirusWall supports the Trend Micro Enterprise Protection Strategy and is managed by Trend Micro Control Manager 3.0.

Automated Damage Cleanup

Automated damage cleanup*** helps prevent re-infections by targeting sources of infection on the network and isolating them until cleanup. Designed to minimize cost and administrative burden associated with manual cleanup and restoration, automated damage cleanup automates agent-less, remote cleanup of infected host machines with damage cleanup templates from TrendLabs. Damage cleanup includes cleanup of or fixing of unwanted registry entries created by worms or Trojans, memory resident worms or Trojans, garbage and viral file drop by worms or Trojans, and system file configuration such as system.ini, after they have been infected or altered by viruses.

Ease of Use, Manageability, and Security Control

Network VirusWall is an integrated appliance architecture, designed to deploy critical outbreak prevention services for ease of use, configuration, installation, and management. SNMP Monitoring provides enhanced manageability and viewing capabilities. An in-built local host firewall helps prevent attacks to the Network VirusWall appliance. Active Update and Trend Micro Control Manager deliver periodic and automated threat-specific updates.

Network Outbreak Monitoring

Network VirusWall enables organisations to implement proactive and timely security measures by providing early warning information of outbreaks in the network segment(s) using heuristics. Monitoring methods include, but are not limited to analysing traffic flow delta, number of connections initiated to and from a single client at any given time, sudden increases in traffic through specific ports or protocols (TCP, UDP, ICMP, and IGMP). Network outbreak monitoring identifies infected host machines, virus attack targets, and attacks on specific vulnerabilities and notifies IT managers through TMCM 3.0.

Network Outbreak Prevention

Network VirusWall helps prevent or contain network viruses with timely, granular, threat-specific prevention policies** from TrendLabsSM that can be deployed at the network LAN segment(s) to block one or a combination of the following in the event of an outbreak:

  • Range or specific IP addresses (to prevent these machines from infecting machines outside of the LAN segment), ports, and protocols (TCP, UDP, ICMP)
  • Instant Message Channels (AIM, MSN, Yahoo, ICQ)
  • File type extensions
  • File Transfers (FTP, HTTP, Windows file sharing)

Deployment of these policies can be automated to maximize protection or manually deployed to provide greater control and flexibility.

Network Scanning and Detection

Viruses (Internet worms) propagating at the network layer can be eradicated by scanning and detecting using network signatures from TrendLabs and by dropping infected packets. Antivirus products work in concert with network scanning and detection, to help identify viruses at the application layer for comprehensive virus protection.

Security Policy Enforcement

Security policy enforcement enables organisations to enforce antivirus security policies and minimize network infections and re-infections. Policy enforcement actions which can be taken include detection of antivirus client products (Symantec, Network Associates and Trend Micro) and the latest scan engine and pattern files (from Trend Micro) as users access the network, blocking network access, if not in compliance, and enabling users to update antivirus scan engine and pattern files or download antivirus products in accordance with their company’s security policies. Network VirusWall detects Symantec - Norton Antivirus Corporate Edition, NAI - McAfee VirusScan 7.0 with Orchestrator agent and Trend Micro OfficeScan (add hyperlink to OfficeScan product overview page) and ServerProtect for NT (add hyperlink to ServerProtect for NT product overview page). It does not require installation of host-based agents, program updates or changes to network configuration.

Vulnerability Isolation

Network VirusWall helps prevent viruses from exploiting vulnerabilities* on the network by enabling organisations to selectively isolate vulnerable (e.g.- unpatched) machines for specific high-threat vulnerabilities (currently identifies major Microsoft vulnerabilities only) before an attack or as an attack occurs. By prohibiting unpatched machines from infecting machines in other network segments during outbreaks, Network VirusWall can help minimize traffic congestion caused by viruses.
