Feature
Description
Enhanced pattern performance
Improved the performance of File and Web Reputation Services to reduce the memory resource usage when loading patterns.

    Enhanced Web Reputation Services by allowing incremental updates for the Web Blocking List. This reduces the memory and network bandwidth usage when loading the Web Blocking List.
  • File Reputation Services
    Enhanced the File Reputation Services log import mechanism to update the database directly from the web server. This ensures the following:
    • Importing access logs into the database is now in real-time and there will be less processing times for the same amount of data and improves disk I/O performance.
    • Reduction in the server load and resource usage.
Enhanced capacity
A standalone Smart Protection Server can now support up to 25,000 Trend Micro™ OfficeScan™ 11 agents.
Dashboard Enhancement

New for Version 2.6 Patch 1

Feature
Description
Deep Discovery Advisor integration and the Virtual Analyzer list
Smart Protection Servers can integrate with Deep Discovery Advisor to obtain the Virtual Analyzer C&C server list. The Deep Discovery Advisor Virtual Analyzer evaluates potential risks in a secure environment and, through use of advanced heuristics and behavioral testing methods, assigns a risk level to the analyzed threats. The Virtual Analyzer populates the Virtual Analyzer list with any threat that attempts to connect to a possible C&C server.
The Virtual Analyzer list is highly company-specific and provides a more customized defense against targeted attacks. Smart Protection Servers retrieve the list from Deep Discovery Advisor and can evaluate all possible C&C threats against both the Global Intelligence and the local Virtual Analyzer list.
