Outbreak Prevention
Services (OPS) are Trend Micro services
that you can take advantage of using Apex Central. It allows enterprises to take
proactive steps against new security risks before the necessary virus pattern files
are
available. By bridging the gap between threat notification and virus pattern delivery,
enterprises can quickly contain virus outbreaks, minimize system damage, and prevent
undue downtime.
OPS is a key component of the Trend Micro Enterprise
Protection Strategy (EPS) - the culmination of a research initiative
that identified best practices for preventing or deflecting potentially
damaging virus attacks. This study was brought on by the apparent
failure of conventional security measures to defend against new
generation security risks, such as CodeRed and Nimda.
Trend Micro created
Outbreak Prevention Services to address concerns at each stage of
the life cycle. OPS harnesses the three core strengths of Trend Micro:
-
Enterprise-class antivirus and content security products
-
TrendLabs, the Trend Micro ISO-certified virus research and technical support center
-
Partnerships with best-of-breed network security vendors and brings them together in a single powerful interface: Trend Micro Apex Central. With OPS, Apex Central provides answers to the following key security questions:
-
Am I under attack?
-
Can my system handle the attack?
-
How should I respond to the attack?
