Trend Micro has announced Trend Micro LeakProof 3.0 that educates and interacts with endpoint users so that data leaks and security threats are prevented.

The new endpoint alerts of Trend Micro LeakProof 3.0 enable IT managers to define content-sensitive dialog boxes that appear directly onto an employee's computer screen. These alert boxes educate employees on the appropriate handling of confidential information, raise awareness of security issues and enlist their support in preventing data from “walking out of the door.”

According to the release, LeakProof 3.0 also includes new enhancements such as encryption support and a redesigned management console for easier monitoring and administration of security policies.

LeakProof 3.0 also gives administrators the option to require authorised employees to encrypt data first (before taking it out of the network) by using LeakProof’s built-in encryption facility. The product is compatible with other enterprise encryption solutions.

Other Trend Micro LeakProof 3.0 enhancements include enhanced management console workflow, discovery of data-at-rest, additional platform and application support, enhanced offline policies, Print-Screen (PrtSc) blocking, and configurable PC/LAN boundary filtering.
