Trend Micro's Interscan Web Security Suite is a feature-rich, well-developed security product. Installation could not have been any easier for such a relatively complex application. There is basically nothing to it, just answer a few simple routine install questions and let it run its course. The server needs to be rebooted, then the operator can access the browser interface.
Configuration is via a series of drop-down menus on the left-hand side of the interface. If the administrator is familiar with other Trend Micro applications such as the InterScan Messaging Security Suite, then they will find a similar look, feel, and terminology is used.
Administration and reporting is also comprehensively covered. As part of the installation routine, the administrator is given the option of installing to an included MSDE database, or for larger sites use an SQL Server database. There are several key routine updates included in the subscription, covering items such as Phishtrap and Spyware patterns. There is also a very comprehensive URL filtering database included if the administrator chooses to install and make use of that.
In conclusion, Trend Micro's Web Security Suite is robust, refined, and easy to implement and manage. Very good reporting tools and extra functionality should put it on the top of any administrator's short list for evaluation.
