Updating the Trend Micro Apex Central network is a two-step process:
  1. Obtain the latest update components from Trend Micro.
    Trend Micro Apex Central can download components either directly from the Trend Micro update server, or from an alternative location.
  2. Deploy these components to the managed products.
    Trend Micro Apex Central deploys update components to managed products, including:
    • Pattern files/Cleanup templates
    • Engines (scan engines, damage cleanup engines)
    • Antispam rules
    • Apex One Plug-in Manager Plug-in Programs
    • Product programs (depending on the product)
      Tip
      Tip
      Trend Micro strongly recommends regularly updating these components to help ensure managed products can protect your network against the latest threats. For product program updates, refer to the specific program's documentation.
      Deploying updates to managed products is a bandwidth-intensive operation. If possible, it is important to perform deployments when they will have the least impact on the network.
      You can stagger the deployment of component updates using Deployment Plans.
      Furthermore, check that the network connection between your Trend Micro Apex Central server and managed products can accommodate the updates. The connection is a factor to consider when deciding how many Trend Micro Apex Central servers your network needs.
