Trend Micro Core Protection Module powered by BigFix

Every year, two-thirds of an enterprise’s endpoints will become infected with malware. Malware threats attack organizations from all directions—Web, email, files, mobile devices, and more—and the consequences of a malware infection include costly damage to resources and data. Most enterprises rely on signature-based antivirus solutions, but the quantity and speed of malware threats has made this type of solution obsolete. Signature files are becoming too large to stop all malware variants and the protection is taking too long to deploy across clients and servers.

Organizations often use multiple security tools and vendors to protect all endpoints, struggling to manage different consoles, combine and reconcile reports for a complete threat picture, and address the problems of multiple and conflicting endpoint agents. It only takes one infected computer to start a chain reaction throughout a network, and yet, even with multiple vendor solutions, large enterprises often have a “security gap” with as much as 15% of endpoints not adequately protected. Why? Because the tools they employ don't offer the visibility and scalability to truly see and manage the entire network.

What is Trend Micro Core Protection powered by BigFix?

Our solution is a blending of Trend Micro's best-of-breed endpoint security with BigFix's supremely scalable Unified Management Platform. This comprehensive solution uses Trend Micro Smart Protection Network to provide immediate protection against all types of malware attacks - virus, spyware, rootkit, blended attacks, malicious website files, and more. A light-weight client queries real-time, in-the-cloud threat intelligence to eliminate the hassle of keeping signature files up-to-date.

Coupled with BigFix, enterprises gain pervasive and instant visibility and control over security defenses with a unified, policy-driven approach to endpoint protection that continuously protects and remediates desktops, servers and mobile computers - locally and remote, on- or off-network. Using just a single agent and a single management console, the Trend Micro Core Protection can support over 250,000 endpoints.

Offered as a stand-alone solution or as part of the BigFix Endpoint Protection Suite, Trend Micro Core Protection enables organizations to consolidate management of enterprise-scale anti-malware functions with other systems lifecycle and security management functions, such as patch management, security configuration management, asset management, and all other BigFix offerings.
