New_in_this_Release
Trend Micro OfficeScan includes the following new features and enhancements:
OfficeScan leverages Microsoft™ Active Directory™ so you can manage the OfficeScan client tree and perform a variety of OfficeScan administration tasks.
See the following topics for details:
Smart protection solutions is a next-generation, in-the-cloud based, endpoint protection solution. At the core of these solutions is an advanced scanning architecture that leverages anti-malware signatures and Web reputation data that are stored in-the-cloud. For more information, see Smart Protection Solutions.
Ensure that OfficeScan client services, settings, scanning, and components comply with security settings for overall endpoint protection. Administrators can use this feature to do the following:
Generate reports on non-compliant clients
Determine and ensure compliance for endpoints in the network that are not managed by OfficeScan servers
Refer to Security Compliance.
Regulate virtual machines that form part of the server to limit the number of virtual desktops that perform updates or scanning at the same time. This ensures proper management of resources for virtual machines with OfficeScan clients. Separately obtain the license for this feature and then manage virtual desktop scanning and updating tasks from Plug-in Manager.
Refer to Trend Micro Virtual Desktop Support.
Delegate Web console management tasks to other administrators and allow non-administrators to view Web console items. Start by creating user roles with certain access privileges to OfficeScan Web console functions and then assign these roles to users. Manage users by creating custom user accounts or using existing Active Directory accounts.
Single sign-on support enables users to log on to the OfficeScan Web console from Trend Micro Control Manager™. Refer to Role-based Administration for details.
This product release includes the following enhancements:
