The Trend Micro Smart Protection Network is a next-generation cloud-client security infrastructure designed to protect businesses from content security threats. This innovative solution delivers security that is smarter than conventional methods—blocking the latest threats before they reach the organization to prevent threats from impacting networks and damaging businesses. By combining Internet-based - or "in-the-cloud" - technologies with smaller, lighter-weight clients, enterprises get immediate access to the latest protection wherever and however their users connect - from home, within the company's network, or on the go. A cloud-client architecture means less of a load on the network and faster protection instead of waiting for reactive downloads of static signature files.

Trend Micro Smart Protection Network correlates in-the-cloud threat information across web, email, and files—delivering immediate protection at every point of a web threat attack. If one element gets a bad reputation, all components of the attack are blocked.  Not only do the reputation databases share threat intelligence, they also work together to determine if a threat is present. The Trend Micro Smart Protection Network uses behavioral analysis to correlate combinations of threat activities to determine if they are malicious. A single web threat activity may appear harmless, but when several activities are detected together, they may present a malicious result.

Trend Micro’s in-the-cloud reputation databases are constantly updated and mutually reinforcing to provide significantly better protection than any one solution by itself. This real-time "better together" protection safeguards against all types of threats - from malicious files, spam, phishing, and Web threats to denial-of-service attacks, Web vulnerabilities, and even data loss. The Smart Protection Network safeguards an enterprise’s most valuable assets: employee productivity, corporate reputation, and customer and partner relationships. It stops threats before cybercrime can infiltrate the business. With Trend Micro Smart Protection Network, enterprises get immediate protection with less complexity.
