Cloud Edge 50 G2
Trend Micro Cloud Edge is a security solution for MSPs (Managed Service Provider) that
combines on-premises and cloud-based security features. Deploy your Cloud Edge 50 G2
on-premises and the MSP can remotely manage your network through the cloud.
The recommendation is to choose Bridge Mode whenever possible. You would typically
use a Bridge Mode deployment on a private network behind a router and in front of a
switch. Configure Routing Mode when you want the Cloud Edge gateway to function as a
router as well as providing security and threat protection.
