MetaDefender Drive vs Trend Micro ScanMail comparison

MetaDefender Drive is a durable USB drive that creates a portable perimeter, in any location where maintaining an air-gap is critical.

Once plugged into a USB port, the computer can be booted safely from Drive, by running off of Drive’s own operating system. This separation allows analysis without software installation — a scan of the entire device for malware, vulnerabilities and a determination of the device’s integrity.

Deep forensic analysis is conducted on every possible file, and detailed threat reports pinpoint which files need to be removed and remediated.

The result? Only trusted devices enter your environment.

More than 90 percent of targeted attacks begin with a spear phishing email, which means your mail server security is more important than ever. Unfortunately, most mail server security solutions, including the limited set of built-in protections in Microsoft® Exchange™ 2013 and 2016, rely on pattern file updates, which only detect traditional malware. They don’t include specific protections to detect malicious URLs or document exploits commonly used in targeted attacks or advanced persistent threats (APTs).

ScanMail™ Suite for Microsoft® Exchange™ stops highly targeted email attacks and spear phishing by using document exploit detection, enhanced web reputation, and sandboxing as part of a custom APT defense—protection you don’t get with other solutions. In addition, only ScanMail blocks traditional malware with email, file, and web reputation technology and correlated global threat intelligence from Trend Micro™ Smart Protection Network™ cloud-based security.

Time-saving features like central management, search and destroy, and role-based access have earned ScanMail its reputation as one of the simplest security solutions to setup and operate.
