Trend Micro Excels in Latest Third-Party Testing of Its Network Defence Solution

SYDNEY, February 23, 2018 – Trend Micro Incorporated, a global leader in cybersecurity solutions, announced it earned the prestigious “Recommended” rating from NSS Labs in the Data Center IPS category. This accomplishment is the latest in a series of top ratings from NSS Labs, spanning the key disciplines of Data Center IPS, Next Generation IPS and Breach Detection Systems.

The latest achievement of Trend Micro’s TippingPoint TX Series demonstrates its ability to provide effective, high-speed inline network inspection without sacrificing performance.

“The challenges of running a modern data center demand a powerful IPS solution capable of blocking threats at high speeds without sacrificing performance,” said Don Closser, general manager of TippingPoint for Trend Micro. “We believe this recognition reinforces our ability to go beyond next-generation IPS to achieve accelerated, automated time-to-protection and deliver high performance for the most demanding network environments. Leading companies out on our TX Series is a key piece of their multi-layered, cross-generational approach to cybersecurity.”

NSS Labs rated throughput at 82,076 Mbps for IPv4 traffic, which is higher than the TX Series claimed performance of 80 Gbps (80,000 Mbps), and latency was tested at 8 microseconds or lower. Total cost of ownership for the TX Series stands at under $7 per protected Mbps.

The TippingPoint TX Series delivers unprecedented security and performance for high-capacity, high-demand enterprise networks. It scales operations requirements to protect data, critical infrastructure, and vulnerable applications in real-time without adversely affecting network speed. Additionally, the solution enables enterprises to take a proactive approach to security by providing comprehensive contextual awareness and deeper analysis of network traffic. This awareness, combined with threat intelligence from the Trend Micro Smart Protection Network and the Zero Day Initiative, provides the visibility and agility necessary to keep pace with today’s dynamic, evolving enterprise networks.
