i-FILTER® Integrated with Deep Discovery™ Inspector
For Proven Protection Against Targeted Attacks
～Internal network visibility for early detection: a one-stop solution
for improved internal controls and monitoring of incoming/outgoing traffic～

TOKYO, Japan (December 13, 2016) – Digital Arts Inc. (headquartered in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Japan; CEO Toshio Dogu; “Digital Arts”; Code 2326), a provider of information security software and solutions, announced the launch of an optional feature that integrates i-FILTER, its enterprise-grade web filtering software to stop data loss and improve internal controls, and Deep Discovery Inspector (“DDI”), a network monitoring appliance by Trend Micro Inc. (headquartered in Shibuyaku, Tokyo, Japan; CEO Eva Chen; “Trend Micro”; Code 4704). This optional integration will be available in January 2017.

A rapid increase in zero-day exploits attacking software vulnerabilities along with targeted attacks and complex/advanced threats towards specific corporate and individual targets to steal sensitive information calls for an urgent need for next-generation security solutions. Standard signature-based defense is effective for identifying “known” viruses, however these conventional methods are inadequate in terms of detecting “unknown” threats that may attack in the future.

In order to enhance protection against “unknown” threats in addition to increasingly complex targeted attacks, Digital Arts currently provides an optional integration feature with Fire Eye, and today, it announced to integrate i-FILTER with Trend Micro DDI Series, a proven solution that establishes visibility of the overall internal network, based on the presumption that malicious programs can break into any system, to improve internal controls and monitor incoming and outgoing traffic for early detection and response. In addition to behavioral analysis, Trend Micro DDI Series utilizes and conducts in-depth analysis of multiple engines that detect malicious communication and vulnerability attacks to detect suspicious activities early and prevent serious damage.

This integration automatically registers C&C communication detected by the DDI Series sandbox onto i-FILTER database to instantly block all call-back communication to the C&C server, protecting loss of sensitive data by complex and advanced network threats.
