This task is supported by the following services:
  • Apex One as a Service
    • Windows agent

Trend Micro recommends blocking the suspicious process using the User-Defined Suspicious Objects List before sending the Terminate command to prevent endpoints from restarting the terminated process.
For more information, see Add to Block List task.

  1. After identifying the suspicious process, access the context or response menu and click Terminate.
    The Terminate Task screen appears.

      • In progress (in_progress=GUID-A55897DB-3DEA-4F5C-B7F9-70B3D7FB9EDE=1=en-us=Low.jpg): Trend Vision One sent the command and is waiting for a response.
      • Queued (queued=GUID-65C0DF81-E50D-4D51-9602-2E9B7A0E5F14=1=en-us=Low.jpg): The managing server queued the command because the agent was offline.
      • Successful (successful=GUID-1E31AD86-DE2E-48B5-85F7-7C78A3E8BB11=1=en-us=Low.jpg): The command was successfully executed.
      • Unsuccessful (error=5cc21722-7ceb-480c-b9c2-a47d420cf1cc.jpg): An error or time-out occurred when attempting to send the command to the managing server, the agent is offline for more than 24 hours, or the command execution timed out.

      • The Task status indicates whether the managing server was able to successfully receive and execute the command. If the command target is a Security Agent, the Task status does not necessarily indicate whether the target Security Agent or object successfully executed the command.
      • To prevent endpoints from restarting terminated processes, block the object using the User-Defined Suspicious Objects List.
