Features and Benefits

OfficeScan protects your networked computers from viruses/malware, spyware/grayware and Web threats. The OfficeScan client provides security risk protection and reports events to, and gets updates from, the OfficeScan server. The OfficeScan server hosts the Web console, downloads updates from an update source (such as the Trend Micro ActiveUpdate server), and initiates clients to update components.

OfficeScan protects against a wide variety of spyware, including adware, dialers, joke programs, remote-access tools, and password cracking applications. Using an extensive, up-to-date spyware database and customized exclusion lists, OfficeScan minimizes the risk of spyware-related slowdowns, crashes, and support calls. It also prevents key loggers from stealing confidential information, preserves bandwidth, and secures business productivity. These capabilities complement the anti-spyware functionality in Trend Micro InterScan™ Web Security Suite—together providing end-to-end spyware protection from the Web gateway to client/server networks.

A Web-based management console gives administrators transparent access to all clients and servers on the network. The Web console coordinates automatic deployment of security policies, pattern files, and software updates on every client and server. And with Outbreak Prevention Services, it shuts down infection vectors and rapidly deploys attack-specific security policies to prevent or contain outbreaks before pattern files are available. OfficeScan also performs real-time monitoring, provides event notification, and delivers comprehensive reporting. Administrators can perform remote administration, set customized policy for individual desktops or groups, and lock client security settings.

OfficeScan provides seamless integration of the Cisco™ Trust Agent, enabling the most effective policy enforcement within a Cisco Self-Defending Network. OfficeScan also includes a Policy Server for automated communication with Cisco Access Control Servers. When integrated with Trend Micro Network VirusWall™ or any Network Admission Control (NAC) device, OfficeScan can check clients trying to enter the network and then remedy, redirect, restrict, deny, or permit access. If a computer is vulnerable or becomes infected, OfficeScan can automatically isolate it and its network segments until all PCs are updated or cleanup is complete.

The OfficeScan firewall protects clients and servers on the network—using stateful inspection, high performance network virus scanning, and elimination. Through the central management console, you can create rules to filter connections by IP address, port number, or protocol, and then apply the rules to different groups of users.

Damage Cleanup Services™ cleans computers of file-based and network viruses plus virus and worm remnants (Trojans, registry entries, viral files)—through a fully-automated process. OfficeScan and Damage Cleanup Services are key components of Trend Micro Enterprise Protection Strategy (EPS)—designed to proactively manage the outbreak lifecycle—from vulnerability prevention to malicious code elimination.
