Review: Trend Micro IM Security

Review: Trend Micro IM Security

Trend Micro's IM Security suite is designed to sit on top of a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 machine already running Microsoft Live Communications Server 2005.

For starters, to activate the product you need to log into Trend Micro's website and use your registration key to get an activation code.

Fortinet says it enables organizations to segment networks into independent security "zones", each with unique access and security policies.
