MCP Agent<br />

<strong>Trend</strong> <strong>Micro</strong> Management Communication Protocol (MCP) is <strong>Trend</strong> <strong>Micro</strong>'s next<br />

generation agent for managed products. MCP replaces <strong>Trend</strong> <strong>Micro</strong> Management<br />

has several new features:<br />

• Reduced network loading and package size<br />

• NAT and firewall traversal support<br />

• HTTPS support<br />

• One-way and Two-way communication support<br />

• Single sign-on (SSO) support<br />

• Cluster node support<br />
