What is the difference between the trend of "cloud security" and the traditional anti-virus mode?

Compared with the traditional virus signature comparison technology, Trend Micro Smart Protection Technology can provide customers with more efficient security protection services. For the same analysis work, traditional manual analysis takes 2 hours, while Trend Micro's cloud security technology relies on powerful cloud computing, with millisecond computing speed, and it only takes a few seconds to analyze the security index of network threats, thus achieving the effect of matching the virus generation speed. With the help of Web threat protection strategy, Trend Micro took the lead in defining a proposition that traditional scanning security solutions can no longer provide effective protection against malicious Web threats alone. What is needed now is a flexible and adaptable technology with multiple layers and components.

In the past 20 years, malicious attacks on the Internet have exploded. 1988, a total of 1738 virus samples were collected worldwide. In 2008, the number of virus samples collected in a single month exceeded 640,000 (about 20,000 cases per day on average, one virus every 4 seconds). As of May 2008, the total number of malware exceeded11million. According to Trend Micro's statistics, from 2005 to March 2008, Web threats increased by 173 1%.

The traditional anti-virus mode to deal with these Trojans needs to obtain virus samples from the client, then develop and make solution samples, and then pass the successful test. Finally, end users need to download and update the virus code in order to achieve real virus protection. As mentioned above, at present, a new virus is born every 4 seconds, and within 4 seconds, can we make a virus signature and distribute it to all terminals? This is obviously unrealistic.

At present, Trend Micro cloud security technology architecture has established five data centers around the world, with more than 34,000 online servers, with a reliability of 99.9999%. On average, it can support 5 billion click queries every day, and the first hit rate of the database can reach 99%. With the help of cloud security technology, Trend Micro now blocks100000 virus infections every day.
