Is anybody using Trusteer Endpoint Protection with IBM Endpoint Manager?
I’m looking at it and I’m trying to figure out if we should be focusing on the Trend Micro product or the Trusteer product.
Any thoughts?
Hey,
Trend Micro Endpoint Protection (OfficeScan) and Trusteer Endpoint Protection (Apex) are very different in how they work and what they protect you from.
OfficeScan is a general AV program, with general AV features like Symantec Endpoint Protection, McAfee ViruScan and Kaspersky Endpoint Protection.
Apex, on the other hand, is not based on signatures and cannot be compared to general AV/Endpoint Protection software. It has a purpose to protect enterprises from new and unknown threats.
If you looking for holistic protection, you should use an Endpoint Protection software + Trusteer Apex.
As of integration between BigFix and OfficeScan/Apex, I believe that OfficeScan is offered as a OEM solution with a specific licensing of BigFix and can be fully managed by BigFix management console. Apex need to be purchased separately and currently cannot be fully managed by BigFix. It is possible to deploy Apex using BigFix and check for its status, but policy management is done through Apex cloud management.
