Available to customers subscribing to Trend Micro’s Gold-level or Premium Support Program, the company’s Virus Response Service Level Agreement (SLA) promises the following to customers submitting virus cases to Trend’s response teams:

• An ‘immediate’ verification of whether or not the case is a virus.

• A fully tested and qualified pattern file delivered within two hours of virus case submission and guaranteed to detect the virus.

• A financial penalty structure, payable by Trend Micro, in the event the two-hour time commitment is not achieved.
