Trend Micro

## What is Trend Micro?

Cloud App Security enables you to embrace the efficiency of cloud services while maintaining security. It protects incoming and internal Office 365 email from malware and other threats, and enforces compliance on other cloud file-sharing services, including Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, SharePoint Online, and OneDrive for Business. By integrating directly with Office 365 and other services using APIs, it maintains user functionality without rerouting email traffic or setting up a web proxy.

We have enjoyed some parts of this product but unfortunately have had issues with it truly keeping our endpoints secure. We are happy with the email protection portion of their package but would like a more robust endpoint protection service.

Pros

It is a lightweight program and very easy to install and deploy. its email security has been very helpful in keeping out unwanted/malicious emails.

Cons

It is not robust enough on its own to completely protect against malicious actors and can be disabled relatively easily on an endpoint to allow for compromise.

Pros

Trend Micro Antivirus is a great solution to protect the devices from Known and Unknown Advance Threats. It uses Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to protect the devices. Trend Micro don't only depend on the Signature, even it can detect unknown and Zero day attacks.

Cons

If Trend Micro team can improve the GUI then it would be great. Otherwise there is nothing which I don't like.
