What is the limitation of Integrity Monitoring when used with Deep Security Virtual Appliance?

Integrity Monitoring in the context of Trend Micro Deep Security Virtual Appliance indeed has limitations in functionality compared to the full capabilities provided by Deep Security Agents. While the Virtual Appliance can execute certain monitoring tasks, it does not offer the full range of features available with Deep Security Agents deployed on individual virtual machines.

Deep Security Agents provide comprehensive monitoring and protection, including advanced features like deep packet inspection and extensive policy management. In contrast, the Virtual Appliance may have a more streamlined set of capabilities that may not include all the in-depth integrity checks or monitoring abilities that the Agents can deliver.

This distinction is important for organizations to recognize when deciding how to implement their security strategies, as relying solely on the Virtual Appliance may mean sacrificing some levels of monitoring and security. Understanding this limitation helps ensure that the right security solutions are deployed for the specific needs of the environment.
