Trend Micro Web Protection Module for Endpoint Security Platform

Overview:

Two thirds of your enterprise endpoints will likely get infected this year. And as the leading delivery mechanism for malware and other cybercrime attacks, the web will cause the most infections. Companies like yours are paying the biggest price with employees risking endpoint infection each time they open a web page. 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.

By merely opening a web page, hidden spyware, Trojans, viruses, or other malware can be triggered to download. Users can also be redirected to a malicious site where cybercriminals use social engineering to entice visitors to disclose confidential data. Your most valuable business assets are at risk, especially if your enterprise depends on safely using ecommerce, integrating your supply chain, collaborating with customers, or empowering your mobile workforce. Whether browsing the web for business or employing company computers for personal use, in just minutes an employee can access a single web-based threat that steals confidential business information or customer data, damages your brand reputation, drains IT resources, and erodes customer confidence.

Get immediate protection on every endpoint

Trend Micro Web Protection Module secures your endpoint, web-based business initiatives, using Trend Micro Web Reputation powered by our unique Smart Protection Network. Web Reputation works in real time to prevent both users and applications from accessing malicious or infiltrated websites, using our innovative cloud-client architecture instead of relying on distributed updates. The client queries in-the-cloud technologies, reducing the burden on endpoints while providing immediate access to threat intelligence. With the in-the-cloud queries, even mobile users are safe while browsing the web off the corporate network.

Web Protection Module is based on mature technology that has been securing businesses for almost two years. The module is a lightweight solution designed to work alongside your existing desktop protection, including solutions from other vendors. Easily added to your Endpoint Security Platform deployment, Web Protection Module proactively protects your company against web threats or bot-related activity—whether accessed through the browser or an application. Alerts are provided when threats are detected, showing you what your current solution is missing.

High-performance platform for visibility, scalability, and performance

As part of the Endpoint Security Platform, Web Protection Module combines innovative Trend Micro security architecture with the high-performance systems management framework—all on a single server that easily scales to support over 250,000 endpoints. Enterprises can quickly deploy protection and policy-enforcement across all endpoints and receive the visibility and control needed to ensure effective security to desktops, mobile/laptop machines, and servers—regardless of connectivity. 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. With the Web Protection Module you are better protected and have more time to grow your business, using web-based tools with confidence.
