What is Apex Central primarily used for?

Apex Central is primarily designed for monitoring local and global threat intelligence, which includes gathering, analyzing, and acting upon threats to ensure effective security measures are in place across the environment. It consolidates data from various Trend Micro security products, providing a comprehensive view of threat landscapes and enabling organizations to proactively defend against potential attacks.

The ability to monitor both local and global threats allows organizations to adapt to emerging threats more rapidly, making informed decisions based on real-time threat intelligence. This capability is vital for maintaining a robust security posture in an ever-evolving cyber threat environment.

Other options focus on functionalities that may not be the primary role of Apex Central, such as managing virtual appliances or providing cloud storage solutions, which, while relevant in the context of security management, do not define Apex Central's main purpose.
