Depending on endpoint security and existing infrastructure needs, you can manage Endpoint Encryption using only one management console or a combination of several management consoles. The following table describes the management consoles available to manage Endpoint Encryption.

Endpoint Encryption Management Consoles

Management Console
Description
PolicyServer MMC
The PolicyServer Microsoft Management Console plug-in (PolicyServer MMC) is the native management console for Endpoint Encryption policy, user, and device administration.
Use PolicyServer MMC to centrally manage:
  • All Endpoint Encryption users, devices, and groups
  • All policies including encryption, password complexity and authentication
  • Remote device actions, including killing a device, erasing data, or delaying authentication
  • Event logs about authentication events, management events, device encryption status, and security violations
  • Remote Help password reset process
  • Auditing and reporting options
Control Manager
Trend Micro Control Manager is a central management console that manages Trend Micro products and services at the gateway, mail server, file server, and corporate desktop levels. Administrators can use the policy management feature to configure and deploy product settings to managed products and endpoints. The Control Manager web-based management console provides a single monitoring point for antivirus and content security products and services throughout the network.
Create multilayer security by integrating Endpoint Encryption with Control Manager as a managed Trend Micro product.
Flexibly manage Endpoint Encryption using only PolicyServer MMC or manage Endpoint Encryption using Control Manager for policy, user and device management and PolicyServer MMC for advanced log management and reporting.
OfficeScan
OfficeScan protects enterprise networks from malware, network viruses, web-based threats, spyware, and mixed threat attacks. An integrated solution, OfficeScan consists of an agent that resides at the endpoint and a server program that manages all agents.
Use the OfficeScan Endpoint Encryption Deployment Tool plug-in to centrally deploy or uninstall Endpoint Encryption agents to any endpoint currently managed by OfficeScan.
