Trend Micro introduces Secure Message Archiving solution for Mid-Size
March 2008 by Emmanuelle Lamandé
Trend Micro Incorporated announces its message archiving solution
designed to help companies archive with accessibility and encryption,
reduce email management costs, and protect and preserve the integrity
of their electronic data.
Trend Micro™ Message Archiver (TMMA) delivers a fast, on-demand email
search capability so employees can quickly access any archived email
without leaving Microsoft™ Outlook™, or the need for IT support;
installation time averages 30 minutes. The solution’s tamper-
resistant design, combined with forensics technology that uses
digital fingerprinting and encryption, ensures that emails are
authentic and un-altered for automatic legal compliance. In today’s
regulatory environment, this is a critical component and another
reason why analysts predict the message archiving market will reach
$1.37 billion in 2011.[1]
In a recent survey of IT administrators for mid-size companies, more
than three quarters of them cite privacy safeguards to be especially
important in an email archiving solution.[2] Trend Micro Message
Archiver’s “privacy-guard,” a distinctive feature compared to other
solutions, tracks and logs email searches by authorized users and
sends an audit of them to a designated “data guardian” in order to
safeguard employee privacy. Privacy-guard avoids potential abuse by
privileged users and guarantees email searches occur for valid purposes.
Pricing and Availability for North America
Trend Micro Message Archiver is available immediately. Per user
pricing varies by seat count and price decreases with volume. For
the 501-1000 seat level, TMMA is dollars 33.70 per user. This price
includes search and compliance capabilities, as well as the first
year of maintenance.
