Trend Micro Offers Anti Virus for Domino on i5/OS

August 4, 2009 Alex Woodie

System i shops that are looking for anti virus software to protect their IBM Lotus Domino version 8.5 e-mail environment may want to check out Trend Micro. Last month, the Silicon Valley firm unveiled ScanMail 5.0 for Lotus Domino, which runs on i5/OS, as well as current releases of other major server operating systems.

ScanMail for Lotus Domino provides multiple layers of security protection at the mail server level. The software is designed specifically to protect Domino mail servers against viruses, worms, Trojan horses, spyware, and assorted malware using signature-based and independent detection mechanisms. It also offers content filtering to decrease the likelihood of information leakage, and employs pattern matching and heuristics to detect spam and phishing attempts.

With version 5.0, ScanMail for Lotus Domino has been updated to work with the latest release of Domino, version 8.5. The major milestone here was ensuring that ScanMail is compatible with the 64-bit version of Domino.

Trend Micro’s work with the 64 bit version of Domino impressed IBM executives. “We’re impressed that Trend Micro is the first company to offer this type of support for 64-bit Domino 8.5, allowing IBM customers to reap the full security benefits of our software,” Kevin Cavanaugh, vice president of messaging and collaboration in IBM’s software division, stated in a press release.

The other big new feature in ScanMail for Lotus Domino 5.0 is support for Web reputation, which the company bills as a component of its “Smart Protection Network.” Web reputation analyzes Web traffic for malicious URLs, and blocks malicious links before they get to users, thereby preventing users’ computers from being breached and leading to a bigger security headache.

ScanMail for Lotus Domino 5.0 is available now. On the IBM Power Systems (System i, iSeries, i5, AS/400) platform, the software runs (natively) on i5/OS V5R4 and V5R3. It also runs on Windows, AIX, Solaris, Linux for X86, Linux for zSeries, and z/OS. Pricing starts at about $29 per user for a license for 1,000 users.

CYBER-ATTACKS ON THE RISE. PROTECT WITH THE TRIPLE PLAY.

COVID-19 has not only caused a global pandemic, but has sparked a “cyber pandemic” as well.

“Cybersecurity experts predict that in 2021, there will be a cyber-attack incident every 11 seconds. This is nearly twice what it was in 2019 (every 19 seconds), and four times the rate five years ago (every 40 seconds in 2016). It is expected that cybercrime will cost the global economy $6.1 trillion annually, making it the third-largest economy in the world, right behind those of the United States and China.”¹

Protecting an organization’s data is not a single-faceted approach, and companies need to do everything they can to both proactively prevent an attempted attack and reactively respond to a successful attack.

UCG Technologies’ VAULT400 subscription defends IBM i and Intel systems against cyber-attacks through comprehensive protection with the Triple Play Protection – Cloud Backup, DRaaS, & Enterprise Cybersecurity Training.

Cyber-attacks become more sophisticated every day. The dramatic rise of the remote workforce has accelerated this trend as cyber criminals aggressively target company employees with online social engineering attacks. It is crucial that employees have proper training on what NOT to click on. Cyber threats and social engineering are constantly evolving and UCG’s Enterprise Cybersecurity Training (powered by KnowBe4) is designed to educate employees on the current cutting-edge cyber-attacks and how to reduce and eliminate them.

A company is only as strong as its weakest link and prevention is just part of the story. Organizations need to have a quick response and actionable plan to implement should their data become compromised. This is the role of cloud backup and disaster-recovery-as-a-service (DRaaS).

Data is a company’s most valuable asset. UCG’s VAULT400 Cloud Backup provides 256-bit encrypted backups to two (2) remote locations for safe retrieval should a cyber-attack occur. This is a necessary component of any protection strategy. Whether a single click on a malicious link brings down the Windows environment or an infected SQL server feeds the IBM i, once the data is compromised, there is no going back unless you have your data readily available.

Recovery is not a trivial task, especially when you factor in the time sensitive nature of restoring from an active attack. This leads to the third play of the Triple Play Protection – DRaaS. Companies have myriad concerns once an attack is realized and a managed service disaster recovery allows employees to keep focus on running the business in a crisis state.

The combination of training employees with secure backup and disaster recovery offers companies the best chance at avoiding financial disruption in an age of stronger, more frequent cyber-attacks.

Reach out to UCG Technologies to discuss your company’s security needs and develop a data protection plan that fits you best.
