Trend Micro Advanced Reporting & Management

Overview:

To combat the recent dramatic rise in web threats, enterprises need immediate access to critical information about the safety of their networks and how the Internet is being used. Many management systems display rows and rows of historical data that is difficult to interpret or act on. Fragmented information also increases management challenges, making it more difficult to get a complete picture of users’ Internet activity. To adequately protect against today’s threats, enterprises need clear visibility into users’ Internet activity with real-time monitoring and detailed forensics.

Trend Micro™ Advanced Reporting and Management is a new module for InterScan™ Web Security solutions that provides customers with unprecedented visibility into how the Internet is impacting their organization. Advanced Reporting and Management applies state of the art database technology and user interface design to help reduce the organization’s exposure to non-business Internet use and increase their security posture against the latest web threats. Administrators and management now have the ability to quickly and easily understand what is happening across their network, drill down into specific areas of interest, and set filters to monitor activity in real time.

Advanced Reporting and Management centralizes the logging, reporting, configuration management and policy synchronization across multiple InterScan Web Security servers. Through a single console, administrators can more effectively monitor, manage, and secure their organizations Internet gateway. And through deployment as a software virtual appliance, IT can continue to reduce the complexity and cost of their web gateway security implementations.

Trend Micro™ Advanced Reporting and Management provides flexible deployment options to support your gateway security strategy. Implement this InterScan Web Security add-on either as a software or virtual appliance, supporting both standalone servers and VMware.

• Software appliance mode converts a standard server into hardened, high-performance security management appliance.
• Virtual appliance mode supports hardware consolidation and leverages the failover and resource optimization features of VMware
