Trend Vision One™ File Security overview

File Security is a scanner app from Trend Micro™. This scanner can assess files and cloud objects for malicious software (malware) and display real-time results. That means you can immediately identify and address potential problems in your files.
File Security:
  • Provides flexible deployment using Amazon Webs Services (AWS) CloudFormation templates, software development kit (SDK), command line interface (CLI) or service gateway.
  • Automates file scanning that is triggered whenever someone uploads new files or changes existing files in their cloud storage.
  • Can be added to your CI/CD pipeline to detect malware before files are distributed to production pipeline or storage.
  • Can be used behind your firewall in either on-premises or cloud environments.
  • Gives you flexibility by enabling workflow integration.
  • Supports event-driven architectures.
  • The SDK and Virtual Appliance applies machine learning to increase malware detection with expanded capabilities designed to detect novel threats.
For further details, see What is File Security?
Like other apps in Trend Vision One, File Security requires credit allocation for access to the complete feature. Click Credits & Pay-As-You-Go to see credits allocated to File Security. Click Credit Settings to manage credit settings for File Security.
