Trend Micro has taken the multilayered security approach to the next level of sophistication with its Trend Micro Threat Management Services network security "overwatch" service. Threat Management Services provides an additional security layer that greatly strengthens an organization's security infrastructure by monitoring the network for active infections that have successfully infiltrated.
