GvTechSolutions has partnered with Trend Micro, Inc. (Nasdaq: TMIC; TSE: 4704), a worldwide leader in network antivirus and Internet content security solutions to win the contract. “As a major provider of security solutions to Department of Defense users worldwide, we recommend only Trend Micro antivirus solutions,” said Robert Deitz II, president of Government Technology Solutions, Inc. “We have worked with Trend Micro to build a long and productive relationship with the Department of Defense and see this contract award as validation for those efforts.” “Trend Micro is honored to enhance our partnership with the Department of Defense and the Coast Guard by providing our multi-layered ‘best of breed’ products and award-winning support,” said Mike Lisi, vice president, government and enterprise sales for Trend Micro. “As the global leader in server-based antivirus and content security solutions*, we recognize the increasing importance of stopping email- and network-based viruses at the server before they ever reach a desktop computer, a key to DISA’s Enterprise Antivirus Software Initiative.” Under the terms of the five-year contract, GvTechSolutions will provide Trend’s server-based antivirus software including InterScan Virus Wall for NT/2000, Solaris and Linux platforms; Scan Mail for Microsoft Exchange for NT/2000; Trend Micro Control Manager; Premium Support Program, and customer training.
