Follow UsBANGALORE: Wipro Net, the communications services division of Wipro Infotech,
has joined hands with Trend Micro to provide Internet gateway scanning of
viruses and other malicious codes. Trend Micro is a leading network anti-virus
and Internet content security solutions provider.
Through this partnership, Wipro Net will provide protection in terms of
scanning, detection and removal of malicious code at the gateway level. The
division will use the "catch on the fly" technology of Trend Micro
i.e. viruses are detected without actually having to open the attachments. Mails
are scanned at gateway level, before the mail enters the customer’s network.
Wipro Net will also offer 24x7 monitoring and update of signature files at
the Network Operating Center (NOC). This will ensure that there is minimal delay
between the time a virus cure is put up on the Net and rolled out by the
company.
"The level of specialized skills required to offer virus protection at
the gateway level is very high, which we believe this partnership will address
most effectively," said Wipro Net Head-Corporate Business P Muralidharan. A
combination of Wipro’s technical skills and robust delivery mechanism through
its fault tolerant backbone and state of the art Network Operating Centre, and
the ability of Trend Micro to manage Internet security even in high traffic
levels, will help us deliver reliable security solutions to our customers, he
added.
"The anti-virus security is becoming more value-added. Our partnership
with Wipro Net leverages their high-end security implementation skills and
strong service orientation", said Trend Micro regional manager - business
development, Overseas Business Unit, Goh Chee Hoh.
Multi-layered protection is essential to manage the email virus threat
effectively, guarding all major entry points into an organization to minimize
the threat of infection. Organizations will need an advanced, best-of-breed
anti-virus solution at the Internet gateway.
