Trend Micro Web Protection Module powered by BigFix

As enterprises have become more dependent on the Web to conduct business, cyber criminals have invested more resources into exploiting it to deliver profit-driven threats. The web has become the primary method of distributing malware and users can become infected by merely opening a web page. Malicious, fraudulent, or hijacked web sites can steal valuable information from enterprises. Any time a user browses the Web or clicks on a URL embedded in spam, an enterprise is put at risk.

What is Trend Micro Web Protection powered by BigFix?

Trend Micro Web Protection is a light-weight client managed by the BigFix Unified Management Platform that prevents users from accessing malicious websites, whether by their own actions or by hidden, automated actions performed by malware on their computer. It relies on Trend Micro Web Reputation that is part of Trend Micro Smart Protection Network. The light-weight client queries in-the-cloud threat intelligence to provide real-time protection without relying on distributed updates. The solutions leverage Trend Micro’s worldwide access to threat information to provide immediate protection against global web threats.

With one of the largest domain-reputation databases in the world, Trend Micro's Web reputation technology tracks the credibility of Web domains by assigning a reputation score based on factors such as a website's age, historical location changes and indications of suspicious activities discovered through malware behavior analysis. It will then continue to scan sites and block users from accessing infected ones. Oftentimes only portions of legitimate sites are hacked. So to increase accuracy and reduce false positives, Trend Micro Web reputation technology assigns reputation scores to specific pages or links within sites instead of classifying or blocking entire sites.
