Deep Discovery Analyzer requires connection to a management network, which usually is the organization’s intranet. After deployment, administrators can perform configuration tasks from any computer on the management network.

Trend Micro recommends using a custom network for sample analysis. Custom networks ideally are connected to the Internet but may be configured with their own network settings. Deep Discovery Analyzer provides the option to configure proxies for custom networks, as well as providing support for proxy authentication. The networks must be independent of each other so that malicious samples in the custom network do not affect hosts in the management network.
