Trend Microis acquiring data leakage
prevention firm Provilla to augment its content-security
products.
Provilla provides fingerprint-based intelligent endpoint
products for data leak prevention (DLP) in organisations.
Under the agreement, Provilla will operate as a subsidiary of
Trend Micro, which will offer data leakage prevention systems for
both office-based and mobile workers.
Eva Chen, CEO at Trend Micro, said, "The acquisition of Provilla
strengthens our ability to execute on our content-security
strategy, with technology and products complementing our own."
Trend Micro will continue to offer Provilla's stand-alone
products in the near term as well as gradually integrate Provilla's
capabilities into its own enterprise and SME products.
