The Data Protection module includes the following features:
  • Data Loss Prevention (DLP): Prevents unauthorized transmission of digital assets
  • Device Control: Regulates access to external devices

Note
OfficeScan out-of-the-box has a Device Control feature that regulates access to commonly used devices such as USB storage devices. Device Control that is part of the Data Protection module expands the range of monitored devices. For a list of monitored devices, see Device Control.
Data Loss Prevention and Device Control are native OfficeScan features but are licensed separately. After you install the OfficeScan server, these features are available but are not functional and cannot be deployed to clients. Installing Data Protection means downloading a file from the ActiveUpdate server or a custom update source, if one has been set up. When the file has been incorporated into the OfficeScan server, you can activate the Data Protection license to enable the full functionality of its features. Installation and activation are performed from Plug-in Manager.

  • You do not need to install the Data Protection module if the standalone Trend Micro Data Loss Prevention software is already installed and running on endpoints.
  • The Data Protection module can be installed on a pure IPv6 Plug-In Manager. However, only the Device Control feature can be deployed to pure IPv6 clients. The Data Loss Prevention feature does not work on pure IPv6 clients.
