Confusing Licensing

Limited Ransomware Rollback Protection

Trend Micro has very limited ability to restore files impacted by ransomware attacks. Files on workstations are limited to a maximum of 10 MB in size in order to be restored. ThreatDown’s 7-day ransomware rollback solution can restore files on workstations up to 10X what Trend Micro can offer.
