Trend Micro™ Smart Protection Network is a next-generation cloud-client content security infrastructure designed to protect customers from security risks and Web threats. It powers both on-premise and hosted solutions to protect users whether they are on the network, at home, or on the go. Trend Micro Smart Protection Network uses light-weight clients to access its unique in-the-cloud correlation of email, Web and file reputation technologies, as well as threat databases. Protection is automatically updated and strengthened as more products, services and users access the network, creating a real-time neighborhood watch protection service for those who use it. The smart scan solution uses the Smart Protection Network for in-the-cloud protection.
