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 system administrators to monitor and report on activities such as infections, security violations, or virus entry points. System administrators can download and deploy components throughout the network, helping ensure that protection is consistent and up-to-date. Control Manager allows both manual and pre-scheduled updates, and the configuration and administration of products as groups or as individuals for added flexibility.
