Endpoint Manager for Core Protection

Antivirus and anti-malware is a necessary evil in today’s world and is a standard deployment in all organisations. IBM’s Endpoint Manager for Core Protection offers more than standard AV and anti-malware products while using fewer resources than many of its competitors.

Some bloated AV products consume more CPU, network bandwidth and may need many dedicated servers to achieve less than Endpoint Manager for Core Protection. It does this by using IBM Endpoint Manager’s powerful and versatile, yet lightweight delivery and management infrastructure. This also includes patch management to keep all of your protected computers installed software up-to-date. At its heart is a version of Trend Micro’s Office Scan whose cloud based database gives up-to-date real time protection using a variety of methods to keep all of your Windows and Mac platforms protected.
