Outbreak Prevention Services (OPS) are Trend Micro services that you can take advantage of using Control Manager. OPS allows enterprises to take proactive steps against new virus threats before the necessary Virus Pattern is available. By bridging the gap between threat notification and Virus Pattern delivery, enterprises can quickly contain virus outbreaks, minimize system damage, and prevent undue downtime.
OPS is a key component of the Trend Micro Enterprise Protection Strategy (EPS) – the culmination of a research initiative that identified best practices for preventing or deflecting potentially damaging virus attacks. This study was brought on by the apparent failure of conventional security measures to defend against threats such as CodeRed and Nimda.
Note: For the additional information on the Enterprise Protection Strategy, visit the Trend Micro Web site at http://www.trendmicro.com.
Trend Micro created Outbreak Prevention Services to address concerns at each stage of the life cycle. OPS harnesses the three core strengths of Trend Micro:
Enterprise-class antivirus and content security products
TrendLabs, the Trend Micro ISO-certified virus research and technical support center
Partnerships with best-of-breed network security vendors
A single powerful interface brings together these strengths: Trend Micro Control Manager. With OPS, Control Manager provides answers to the following key security questions:
Am I under attack?
Can my system handle the attack?
How should I respond to the attack?
