Trend Micro OfficeScan 10



Major upgrade from version 8 (where did version 9 go?!)
Ripe with marketing hype (“Cloud-Client Architecture”,
“Smart Protection Network”, “Global Threat Intelligence”)
But it appears to provide real value:







Faster deployment of pattern file updates
Smaller client footprint
Windows 7 support in sp1 (not officially supported in
OfficeScan 8)
More options for re-scheduling missed scheduled scans
Better Active Directory integration
Better control of removable devices like USB drives
Protection of the OfficeScan program itself (prevents malware
from altering OfficeScan files, processes and registry entries)
6
TMOS 10 Features

“In-the-cloud” scanning (“SmartScan”) vs.
conventional scanning





Client uses pattern info stored on local or global
servers rather than having to store everything on
every client computer
Updates pattern files hourly instead of daily
Smaller pattern files on the client, less network
bandwidth used to deploy pattern files
Some heuristic-based detection
Can still do conventional scanning for systems
with limited Internet access
7
TMOS 10 Features

Better options for dealing with missed scheduled scan





Postpone a schedule scan before it begins
Stop and Resume a current active schedule scan
Resume a missed schedule scan
Automatically skip schedule scan when Laptop Battery is
below certain %
Automatically stop schedule scan when it lasts over a
certain amount of period.
8
TMOS 10 Features

Device Access Control


Sysadmins can control use of removable drives
Examples: Removable Thumb Drives, Firewire Hard Drives,
PC-Cards, Media Players.
9
TMOS 10 Features

The Trend Micro Unauthorized Change
Prevention Service replaces the OfficeScan
watchdog as the principal means of preventing
OfficeScan services from being stopped, and
settings from being changed




To prevent OSCE applications being injected with
malware and impact business operation
Feature provides the ability to protect OfficeScan
files / file types within folders from being modified
Protect OfficeScan system processes to prevent
unauthorized shut-down
Protect OfficeScan system registries from
unauthorized modification
10
TMOS 10 User Experience

After automatic installation,
user will be prompted to
reboot via the pop-up
warning in the lower right
hand corner of the screen
(above system tray)

w/ server
TMOS 10 User Experience


OfficeScan console largely the same
Firewall config for communicating with
OfficeScan servers:



Smart Scan server: TCP/443 from
10.130.69.52 (on campus only)
OfficeScan server (conventional scan):
TCP/8080 from 129.130.255.181
Off campus, component updates try
campus server, then failover to
osce10-p.activeupdate.trendmicro.com
12
TMOS 10 User Experience

What else about TMOS 10? What is your experience?






TMOS 10 install wipe out any custom TMOS 8 configs?
No tool yet to export/import config from TMOS 8 server to
TMOS 10 environment, but they’re working on it.
Significant CPU utilization every hour on Local Scan Server
when it downloads and processes new pattern files – has
this been a problem?
Pushing new pattern file on demand (like in yesterday’s
malware outbreak, how to push to both conventional and
SmartScan configs)
Standalone Scan Server requires VMware™ ESXi Server 3.5
Update 2. VMware ESX™ Server 3.5 or 3.0, or VMware Server 2.0
1,000 client limit if run Local Scan Server and OfficeScan
server on same server (compared to 5,000-8,000 clients for
latter) – called “Integrated Scan Server”
