Support for New Platforms
    In this release, supported platforms are based on the Linux kernel 3.x. The supported platforms are:
    • Red Hat Enterprise Server 7
    • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12
    • CentOS Linux 7
    GPL Open Source KHM
    By going open source, Trend Micro provides the flexibility that allows you to recompile KHM for your Linux kernel. Useful readme documents, test scripts and makefiles are provided to guide you through the build process.
    Logon Session Control
    For better security, the Web console session control feature is included. This allows the ServerProtect Web console to automatically log you out (terminates the session) after 20 minutes (1200 seconds) of inactivity.
    Summary Page
    You can display the new Summary screen to monitor your Linux system’s protection against viruses/malware. You can view information such as the system status, scan results/status, and update status.
    Anti-spyware
    Trend Micro’s Anti-spyware technology is designed to block spyware/grayware and adware, plus hacking and remote access tools that could harm the network. This added security helps prevent intruders from collecting personal or corporate information, passwords, email addresses, and other data. It also frees system resources and available bandwidth, improving network performance and reducing spyware-associated system failures.
    Notification Icon and Pop-up Virus Information
    When you use the graphical KDE on your Linux system, the ServerProtect Notification icon automatically displays in the system tray to provide real-time scanning status. When ServerProtect detects a virus/malware, the Notification icon changes. Double-click on the icon to display detailed information about the virus/malware in a pop-up window.
    SMTP Authentication
    You can enable SMTP authentication for sending email notifications.
    Bypass Password for Local Logon
    You can bypass password checking when logging on to the same server where you installed ServerProtect.
    Option To Exclude OpenAFS Network Drives From Scanning
    You may have network file systems that you want to exclude from scanning. In addition to popular mapped drive format, now you can also exclude OpenAFS mapped drives from manual and scheduled scanning.
    ServerProtect Management Through Trend Micro Apex Central or Trend Micro Control Manager
    You can use Trend Micro's central management console, Apex Central (formerly known as Trend Micro Control Manager), to manage ServerProtect. When registered to Apex Central / Control Manager, ServerProtect can make use of features such as:
    • Reports Available from Apex Central / Control Manager
    • Outbreak Prevention Services—for file blocking
    • License deployment for ServerProtect
