BANGALORE, INDIA: Trend Micro Incorporated, Internet content security software and services provider, has announced a definitive agreement to acquire Provilla Inc, a provider of fingerprint-based intelligent endpoint solutions for data leak prevention (DLP) in organizations.

According to the agreement, Provilla will operate as a subsidiary of Trend Micro's US affiliate. Provilla's data leak prevention experts as well as technology and products will enhance the Trend Micro portfolio of easily deployed and managed multi-layered content-security solutions for business customers, Trend Micro said in a statement.

"Trend Micro is focused on providing customers with centrally-controlled content-security solutions to address the malicious threats entering or leaving organizations, and that includes intentional or inadvertent data leaks," said Eva Chen, CEO and co-founder of Trend Micro.

"Solving this growing problem will require broader and deeper insight into the multiple endpoint data leak vulnerabilities and the use of intelligent solutions that can identify sensitive data and prevent its misuse through endpoint devices and channels. The acquisition of Provilla strengthens our ability to execute on our content-security strategy, with technology and products complementing our own," Chen added.

Shu Huang, chief technical officer, Provilla, said, " We see this as an opportunity to build a complete data leak prevention product suite that fits with Trend Micro's philosophy of central security management."

Trend Micro will continue to offer Provilla's stand-alone products for the near term as well as gradually integrate Provilla's capabilities into its own enterprise, small and medium business solutions. Provilla products are deployed in North America, China, Taiwan, Europe and Japan.
