Trend Micro Core Protection Module for Endpoint Security Platform

Overview:

The endpoint has become the most at-risk point in the network, with two thirds of your enterprise’s endpoint devices likely to get infected this year.* Enterprises are struggling to keep up with the thousands of faster, more insidious content security attacks released every day, such as data-stealing malware, botnet infections, and other blended threats. The clean-up and lost productivity costs can add up quickly. And if the infection results in a security breach, the costs can rise to the millions.

Conventional content security solutions are too slow, taking hours and even days to deploy signatures across clients and servers—all the while consuming valuable network resources. This approach quickly proves ineffective, with signature file updates taking too long and creating a dangerous security gap. Over time, larger and larger signature updates trying to keep up with growing threat volumes will lengthen your deployment, overburden your endpoints, and impact user productivity.

Get immediate protection on every endpoint

Trend Micro Core Protection Module provides a complete set of anti-malware prevention and removal capabilities, firewall protection, as well as security against malicious web sites, featuring Trend Micro Web Reputation. Combining innovative Trend Micro security architecture with the highperformance systems management framework of the Endpoint Security Platform, enterprises are able to quickly deploy protection across all endpoints and receive the visibility and control needed to ensure effective security to desktops, laptops, and servers—regardless of connectivity.

Leveraging the Trend Micro Smart Protection Network cloud-client architecture, Web Reputation has clients query in-the-cloud technologies to reduce the burden on endpoints while providing immediate access to threat intelligence. The Smart Protection Network’s unique approach correlates in-the-cloud web, email, and file reputation databases, protecting your endpoints at all points of an attack before threats impact your business. Web Reputation complements the anti-malware security, including virus and spyware protection, anti-rootkit security, and malware and remnant removal. In addition, an enterprise client firewall regulates communications to secure the network. Through delivering immediate protection, the Core Protection Module helps to eliminate infection, identity theft, data loss, network downtime, lost productivity, and compliance violations—reducing business risk and cost.

High-performance platform for visibility, scalability, and control

As part of the Endpoint Security Platform, Core Protection Module leverages a single console to centrally manage endpoint security—all on a single server that easily scales to support over 250,000 endpoints, regardless of their location, connection type, or status. Core Protection Module provides the instant visibility and access needed to ensure real-time control during an outbreak, and offers real-time reports on endpoint protection even across geographically-distributed environments. When this module is combined with other Endpoint Security Platform modules, enterprises are able to view endpoint security, patch management, and power management status together in the same console, providing more effective endpoint protection and saving time, effort, and cost through system consolidation. At Trend Micro, we help you rethink your endpoint security with faster protection that also lowers the burden on endpoint resources, provided on a platform that gives unparalleled visibility and control.
