Smart Protection Network

The Trend Micro™ Smart Protection Network™ uses a global network of threat intelligence sensors to continually update email, web, and file reputation databases in the cloud, identifying and blocking threats in real time before they reach you. It’s cloud security made smarter. Read datasheet

Immediate Protection Wherever you Connect

Using Smart Feedback from products and services around the world, each discovery of a new threat and its origin instantly updates the Smart Protection Network. Global threat data continuously updated and correlated in the cloud ensures automatic protection from threats wherever and however you connect.

Proven Effective

New malware is created every second. Ever more complex, today’s attacks are difficult to detect and prevent. Independent tests prove the effectiveness of Trend Micro’s approach in combating two big security challenges – complexity and volume. Smart Protection Network technology consistently beats the competition in stopping more threats faster.

Easy on System Resources

By processing threat information in the cloud rather than on individual machines, we reduce the demand on system resources and eliminate time-consuming signature downloads. Higher performance and fewer maintenance requirements lower operating costs as well.

Trend Micro products, cloud-powered by the Trend Micro Smart Protection Network, are proven by multiple testing labs to protect better than our competition.

What makes it real? Traditional static testing only detects infected files after they've landed on your computer; real-world tests provide a more realistic assessment of the efficacy of endpoint security solutions today. In real-world testing:

• All attack samples are sourced live from the internet at the time of the test
• Attack samples are presented to the tested products simultaneously
• Attack samples are presented using realistic attack vectors
• All the security layers and countermeasures within a product are given the opportunity to block an attack sample

Every day in the Smart Protection Network:

• 45+ billion URLs, emails and files queried*
• Billions of threats blocked
• 2.8+ terabytes of data processed
• 100+ million users connected
• 1,000+ global security experts provide 24x7 threat surveillance and attack prevention

*Numbers shown are uncached queries. Trend Micro uses caching technology to improve bandwidth and speed of queries
