OfficeScan

Endpoint security from the trusted security leader

Overview

The threat landscape used to be black and white – you kept the bad stuff out and the good stuff in. Now it’s harder to tell the good from the bad, and traditional signature-based antivirus approaches alone are a weak defense against ransomware and unknown threats, which often slip through. Next-generation technologies help with some threats but not others, and adding multiple anti-malware tools on a single endpoint results in too many products that don’t work together. To complicate matters your users are increasingly accessing corporate resources from a variety of locations and devices, and even services in the cloud. You need endpoint security that is smart, optimized, and connected, from a proven vendor you can trust.

Trend Micro™ OfficeScan infuses high-fidelity machine learning into a blend of threat protection techniques to eliminate security gaps across any user activity and any endpoint. It constantly learns, adapts, and automatically shares threat intelligence across your environment. This blend of threat protection is delivered via an architecture that uses endpoint resources more effectively and ultimately out-performs the competition on CPU and network utilization.

OfficeScan is a critical component of our Smart Protection Suites, that deliver gateway and endpoint protection capabilities like application control, intrusion prevention (vulnerability protection), endpoint encryption, data loss prevention (DLP), and more in one compelling package. Additional Trend Micro solutions extend your protection from advanced attacks with endpoint investigation and response (EDR). Plus, Deep Discovery network sandboxing delivers rapid response (real-time signature updates) to endpoints when a new threat is detected locally, enabling faster time-to-protection and reducing the spread of malware. All of this modern threat security technology is made simple for your organization with central visibility, management, and reporting. See how our endpoint security stacks up.

Connected threat defense:

OfficeScan integrates with other security products locally on your network and also via Trend Micro’s global, cloud threat intelligence to deliver network sandbox rapid response updates to endpoints when a new threat is detected, enabling faster time-to-protection and reducing the spread of malware.

Centralized visibility and control:

When deployed with Trend Micro™ Control Manager™, multiple OfficeScan servers can be managed through a single console to provide complete user visibility.

Mobile security integration:

Integrate Trend Micro™ Mobile Security and OfficeScan by using Control Manager to centralize security management and policy deployment across all endpoints; Mobile Security includes mobile device threat protection, mobile app management, mobile device management (MDM), and data protection.

Available on- premises or as a service:

OfficeScan can be deployed on site in your network or is available as a service (SaaS).

Advantages

Maximum XGen™ security

Infuses high-fidelity machine learning with other detection techniques for the broadest protection against ransomware and advanced attacks.

  • Progressively filters out threats using the most efficient technique for maximum detection without false positives.
  • Blends signature-less techniques including high-fidelity machine learning, behavioral analysis, variant protection, census check, application control, exploit prevention, and good-file check with other techniques like file reputation, web reputation, and command and control (C&C) blocking.
  • Trend Micro is the first to infuse high-fidelity machine learning which uniquely analyzes files not only before execution but also during runtime for more accurate detection.
  • Noise cancellation techniques like census and whitelist checking at each layer reduce false positives.
  • Instantly shares information on suspicious network activity and files with other security layers to stop subsequent attacks.
  • Advanced ransomware protection monitors for suspicious file encryption activities at the endpoint, terminates malicious activities, and even recovers lost files if necessary.

Key Business Issues

  • Too many malware and ransomware threats getting through
  • Need one solution to protect against all known and unknown threats on PC endpoints, Macs, and VDI
  • Endpoint security solutions that don’t talk to each other, lengthens time to protection and increase the management burden
  • Risks of users working remotely, and sharing information in new ways via the cloud, etc.
  • IT efficiency reduced when advanced threat and data protection don’t integrate

“My first objective was to get rid of the heavy overhead that the previous endpoint solution was putting on our systems,” said Jamieson.

“OfficeScan did that… My second objective was to introduce security that really worked. Since we replaced the previous solution, we can see that Trend Micro has stopped the infections.”

Customize your endpoint protection

Expand your existing Trend Micro endpoint security with optional security modules and broaden protection with complementary endpoint solutions:

Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Module

Protects your sensitive data for maximum visibility and control.

  • Secures private data on- or off-network, including encrypting files before they leave your network
  • Protects against data leaks via cloud storage, USB drives or connected mobile devices, Bluetooth connections, and other media
  • Covers the broadest range of devices, applications, and file types
  • Aids compliance with greater visibility and enforcement


Security for Mac Module

Provides a layer of protection for Apple Mac clients on your network by preventing them from accessing malicious sites and distributing malware—even if the malware is not targeted at Mac OS X.

  • Reduces exposure to web-based threats, including fast-spreading Mac-targeting malware
  • Adheres to Mac OS X look and feel for positive user experience
  • Saves time and effort with centralized management across endpoints, including Macs


Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) Module

Lets you consolidate your endpoint security into one solution for both physical and virtual desktops.

  • Recognizes whether an agent is on a physical or virtual endpoint and optimizes protection and performance for its specific environment
  • Serializes scans and updates, and whitelists base images and previously scanned content to preserve the host resources


Endpoint Encryption Option

Ensures data privacy by encrypting data stored on your endpoints—including PCs, Macs, DVDs, and USB drives, which can easily be lost or stolen. Trend Micro™ Endpoint Encryption provides the data security you need with fulldisk encryption, folder and file encryption, and removable media encryption.

  • Protects data at rest with full-disk encryption software
  • Automates data management with selfencrypting hard drives
  • Encrypts data in specific files, shared folders, removable media

Vulnerability Protection Option

Stops zero-day threats immediately on your physical and virtual desktops and laptops— on and off the network. Using host-based intrusion prevention system (HIPS), Trend Micro™ Vulnerability Protection shields against known and unknown vulnerabilities before a patch is available or deployable. Extends protection to critical platforms, including legacy operating systems such as Windows XP.

  • Eliminates risk exposure by shielding vulnerabilities with virtual patching
  • Reduces down-time for recovery and emergency patching
  • Allows patching on your own terms and timelines
  • Identifies security vulnerabilities with reporting based on CVE, MS-ID, severity
