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. 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.
Email Reputation
Trend Micro’s email reputation technology validates IP addresses by checking them
against a reputation database of known spam sources and by using a dynamic service
that can assess email sender reputation in real time. Reputation ratings are refined
through continuous analysis of the IP addresses’ “behavior,” scope of activity and prior
history. Email reputation blocks malicious email messages in the cloud based on the
sender’s IP address, preventing threats from reaching the network or the user’s PC.
File Reputation Services
File Reputation Services checks the reputation of each file against an extensive in-thecloud
database. Since the malware information is stored in the cloud, it is available
instantly to all users. High performance content delivery networks and local caching
servers ensure minimum latency during the checking process. The cloud-client
architecture offers more immediate protection and eliminates the burden of pattern
deployment besides significantly reducing the overall client footprint.
