Trend Micro Smart Protection Network (White Paper)
As the underground economy has grown and prospered, cyber criminals have developed increasingly sophisticated malware as tools of their trade. Yet, as these criminals prosper, businesses and consumers alike are suffering financial losses, identity theft, and damaged reputations, creating a security environment that is ripe for change. Security professionals are scrambling to catch up—both with the newest malware variations and with the exploding number of Web threats. As threats have increased in number and complexity, conventional, pattern-based anti- virus protection is falling short and security update deployment issues are impacting network and system performance.
Clearly, a new approach is needed to combat evolving Web threats. Trend Micro offers that approach to threat
protection today—with the Trend Micro Smart Protection Network, a next-generation cloud-client content security
infrastructure designed to protect customers from Web threats. The Trend Micro Smart Protection Network
combines Internet-based (“in-the-cloud”) technologies with lighter-weight, clients to help businesses close the
infection window and respond in real time before threats can reach a user’s PC 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—much like the neighborhood watch crime-fighting systems that exist today in many communities.
This white paper provides an overview of today’s dangerous cyber crime world and outlines the challenges that
security professionals face in developing solutions to address the growing number and variety of Web threats.
Finally, this paper explores how the Trend Micro Smart Protection Network can deliver next-generation security to automatically protect digital information wherever users connect.
