Trend Micro Enterprise Security Provides Jenny Craig With Comprehensive Multi-Threat Protection

Posted on: Tuesday, 17 March 2009, 11:00 CDT

CUPERTINO, Calif., March 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Trend Micro Inc. (TSE: 4704), a global leader in Internet content security, announced today that Jenny Craig, one of the largest weight management service companies in the world, switched security vendor and solutions to the Trend Micro Enterprise Security offerings, including Trend Micro NeatSuite(TM) Advanced for a more robust solution that can keep up with the emerging threats.

The Jenny Craig enterprise network delivers business applications, Web access, and email communications for approximately 7,000 employees globally. A small IT group manages the infrastructure from the company's main data center in Carlsbad, California and 300 global servers.

"Industry ratings for Trend Micro are consistently very high, so we did a comparison of our previous security solutions and Trend Micro NeatSuite Advanced. We were looking for a solution and a security vendor that could keep up with the emerging threats," said Jeffrey A. Rapini, engineering manager, Jenny Craig International. "Additionally, automation is very important to us -- security has to be easy to manage. The cost-benefit analysis alone showed that NeatSuite Advanced would be more than worth the effort of changing."

Jenny Craig globally deployed NeatSuite Advanced for fully integrated, centrally managed gateway-to-endpoint protection provided by Trend Micro Enterprise Security. The highly scalable suite maximizes administrative efficiencies for IT, and meets the company's objectives for multilayered defense against viruses, spyware, spam, phishing, and blended attacks including Web threats.

Trend Micro Enterprise Security is powered by Trend Micro(TM) Smart Protection Network, a next-generation cloud-client security infrastructure that protects customers from content security risks. As part of their NeatSuite Advanced license, Trend Micro provides Jenny Craig with:

• PC and file server protection: with Trend Micro(TM) OfficeScan(TM) Client Server
• Corporate email server protection: with Trend Micro(TM) ScanMail(TM) Suite for Microsoft(TM) Exchange
• Anti-spam and email protection: with Trend Micro(TM) InterScan(TM) Messaging Security Suite

Powered by Trend Micro(TM) Smart Protection Network, Trend Micro(TM) Enterprise Security solutions rely on an innovative cloud-client architecture to help enterprises fight the explosion of malicious threats. To shorten the time to protection and reduce the complexity of on-site solutions, a client queries Web, email, and file reputation databases that are correlated in the cloud. Threats are stopped in real-time at their source -- before they impact local networks and systems.

Before deploying NeatSuite Advanced, Jenny Craig received approximately 48,000 email messages a day. Only about 5,000 messages were legitimate communications, but the previous security solution was also letting through approximately 7,000 to 8,000 spam messages a day. Now, spam has virtually dropped to zero companywide.

"We don't have spyware issues anymore with NeatSuite Advanced," said Rapini. "In fact, with Trend Micro across the enterprise, I can't recall one instance of an outbreak of any malicious code -- no viruses or Trojans -- nothing. They come in and they are caught every single time and quarantined."

"By implementing a comprehensive Trend Micro security solution that provides protection from gateway to endpoint, we've seen significant cost savings when it comes to managing our security," said Rapini.
