Powered by the Trend Micro™ Smart Protection Network™, Trend Micro Apex One™ is a centrally managed anti-malware solution that protects endpoints (servers, desktops, and portable endpoints) from a wide variety of Internet threats. An integrated solution, Trend Micro Apex One consists of the Security Agent that resides at the endpoint and the Apex One server that manages all Security Agents.

Security Agents report to the server from which they were installed. They send event information such as threat detection, Security Agent startup, Security Agent shutdown, start of a scan, and completion of an update to the server in real time.

Administrators control Security Agent settings from the server and can choose to grant users the privilege to configure specific settings.
