Trend Micro 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. The Control Manager Web-based management console provides a single monitoring point for managed products and services throughout the network.

Control Manager allows both manual and pre-scheduled updates, and the configuration and administration of products as groups or as individuals for added flexibility.
