Our partners over at Trend Micro have given us a few network assessments to provide to our most valued clients, and we would like to extend this offer to a larger audience via our blog as an opportunity to earn your business. This service is a billable engagement ranging from $25 - $35k depending on the size of the environment, but there will be no cost to you at all for this courtesy assessment. The assessment period runs for two weeks, and at the end of the engagement your company will be provided a detailed executive report—which we know you will find beneficial.<!--more-->

eGroup can also arrange a “live portal” presentation in advance so that you can see the dynamic values and reporting information that would be available during the assessment.

The installation takes just about an hour or so depending on your environment. One of the Trend Micro engineers will connect a Trend Micro Threat Discovery appliance (TDA) to a mirror SPAN port on your core switch.

The TDA is passive:

• It does not interfere with network operations / it is non-evasive and no configuration changes are needed to your environment

• It does not write anything

• It only listens to mirrored traffic for two weeks

Below are some of the marketing material that Trend provides when selling the service—please call 1-877-eGROUP-1 to discuss.

Introducing the Trend Micro Threat Management Services network security assessment—<em>2-week Threat Management Services assessment</em>

No matter where you are in the threat cycle:

• You think you’ve never been attacked

• You know you’ve been attacked but are unclear how far reaching the damage is

• You are in recovery mode but are not sure if the cleanup is complete

…you’ll find this non-intrusive assessment to be insightful, and in some cases, shocking.
