Trend
Micro delivers File Reputation Services and Web Reputation Services
to IMSS through
the Trend Micro™ Smart Protection
Network™.
The 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 Trend Micro hosted solutions to protect users whether they are
on the network, at home, or on the go. The Smart Protection Network
uses lighter-weight clients to access its unique in-the-cloud correlation
of email, web, and file reputation technologies, as well as threat
databases. Customers' protection is automatically updated and strengthened
as more products, services and users access the network, creating a
real-time neighborhood watch protection service for its users.
The Smart Protection Network provides File Reputation Services
by hosting the majority of the malware pattern definitions. A client
sends scan queries to the Smart Protection Network if its own pattern
definitions cannot determine the risk of a file.
The Smart Protection Network provides Web Reputation Services
by hosting web reputation data previously available only through
Trend Micro hosted servers. A client sends web reputation queries
to the Smart Protection Network to check the reputation of websites
that a user is attempting to access. The client correlates a website's
reputation with the specific web reputation policy enforced on the
computer to determine whether access to the site is allowed or blocked.
