Trend Micro buys UK encryption firm
Trend Micro has acquired Identum, an e-mail encryption software vendor based in Bristol, U.K. The server software will automatically encrypt messages, depending on the user’s corporate security policy, and can be used alongside existing e-mail and compliance products.
Identum will likely strengthen Trend’s software-as-a-service product portfolio, however, because it gives the company a way to add e-mail encryption to its InterScan Messaging Hosted Security product line.
Like other security vendors, Trend has been trying to beef up its software-as-a-service lineup in recent months, offering customers a simpler way to keep on top of the latest threats than is found with traditional security products. The acquisition will “ensure an even safer, more secure Internet experience for the company’s global customers,” Trend said in a statement.
