Cyber criminals are constantly developing increasingly sophisticated malware, putting businesses and consumers under threat of financial losses, identity theft, not to mention damaged reputations. As threats increase in number and complexity, conventional, pattern-based antivirus protection is falling short and security update deployment issues are impacting network and system performance.
A New Approach
Conventional security solutions can no longer adequately protect against the evolving set of Web threats, and users need a new approach. Trend Micro delivers just that with the Trend Micro Smart Protection Network.
The industry-leading Smart Protection Network powers Trend Micro’s security services. This next-generation, cloud-client content security infrastructure is designed to address the rapidly changing threat environment by providing instant security information via a cloud query while reducing network and system impact, and the reliance on traditional pattern file downloads.
In the Cloud
The Trend Micro Smart Protection Network collects information from multiple vectors to deliver comprehensive Web threat protection. It combines Internet-based (“in-the-cloud”) technologies with lighter-weight clients to help Service Providers break the infection chain and respond in real-time before threats can reach their or their customers’ machines or compromise an entire network.
Trend Micro leverages patent-pending technology to correlate the threat data gathered through a network of proactive email, Web, and file reputation technologies, Web crawlers, honeypots and global threat sensors of customers, partners, and threat research and support centers to combat even the most sophisticated sequential and blended threats. Built-in feedback loops and communication between Trend Micro products and services ensure automatic and immediate protection against the latest threats and provide “better together” security.
Comprehensive Protection
This global network of threat intelligence technologies and sensors provide comprehensive protection against all types of threats—from malicious files, spam, phishing, and Web threats, to denial of service attacks, Web vulnerabilities, and even data loss. By incorporating in-the-cloud reputation, scanning, and correlation technologies, the Trend Micro Smart Protection Network reduces reliance on conventional pattern file downloads and eliminates the delays commonly associated with desktop updates. Businesses benefit from increased network bandwidth, reduced processing power, and associated cost savings.
By checking URLs, emails, and files against continuously updated and correlated threat databases in the cloud, customers always have immediate access to the latest protection wherever they connect—from home, within the company network, or on the go.
