Trend Micro Control Manager 5.0

Overview:

Security administrators face a whole new challenge due to the sophisticated and deceptive nature of malware today. You’re forced to weigh the complexity of managing geographically distributed clients and servers against the pressure to reduce time and money spent on routine administration. Today’s businesses need powerful, centrally-managed security—for superior protection at a lower cost.

Trend Micro Control Manager™ gives you greater control, visibility at the client level, and more threat intelligence to optimize security throughout your enterprise. This centralized security management console streamlines management and improves security for Trend Micro solutions with customizable reports and role-based administration, plus automated updates, alerts, threat response, and license renewal. Unlike other solutions, Control Manager does not require additional client software and offers greater scalability with multi-tiered, cascading management.

Trend Micro Control Manager provides a centralized threat management console to configure, monitor, and control
Trend Micro software, hardware and services deployed throughout your network.

Trend Micro Control Manager™ 5.0 is available in two versions: Standard and Advanced.

• Control Manager Standard enables baseline centralized security management without the reporting features and multi-tiered management.
• Control Manager Advanced enables multi-tiered, cascading management for Trend Micro security, including customizable and flexible reporting, third-party manageability, and visibility into client-level security.
