Trend Micro

Trend Micro is a leading innovator in virtualization and cloud security.  We have a long history of working closely with key platform vendors such as VMware and Amazon to provide new security paradigms such as agentless protection for virtualized systems and elastic multitenant protection for cloud environments. The result is #1 rated virtualization and cloud security designed to maximize protection, performance and ROI.

Agentless Security

Trend Micro, working in close collaboration with VMware, has delivered the industry’s first and only agentless security platform architected for VMware vSphere-based virtualized servers and desktops, as well as vCloud-based cloud servers. The solution, Trend Micro Deep Security, is optimized to preserve performance, increase VM densities, and maximize ROI.

Deep Security provides a wide range of agentless security technologies for VMs, including antimalware, web reputation, intrusion prevention, firewall, and integrity monitoring for virtual machines as well as the hypervisor. These security options provide integrated agentless security for increased protection on VMware virtual machines deployed in virtual data centers or vCloud-based private clouds, or even vCloud-based public clouds in which agentless security is offered by the service provider. Deep Security Manager integrates with VMware vCenter™, vShield Endpoint and vCloud Director to facilitate unified security management across both agentless and agent-based protection for VMs in the VMware virtualized data center, virtual desktops, and cloud.

Cloud Protection

Extend your data center security policies to your public and hybrid cloud workloads and manage both through a single pane of glass. Deep Security combines advanced technologies such as intrusion prevention and integrity monitoring with policy-based key management technology, available through its integration with SecureCloud, to provide server, application, and data security for servers in the cloud.

  • Protecting Private Clouds. Deploying a private cloud from your data center delivers speed and agility. But even with more control, private clouds still increase the risk of data leakage. Trend Micro Deep Security™ helps you secure the underlying virtual machines, while encryption secures data in the shared resource environment of the cloud.
  • Protecting Public Clouds. Public clouds deliver increased scalability, accessibility, and cost savings. But, you also have less control and more exposure to outside threats. Trend Micro Deep Security creates self-defending virtual machines in the public cloud. Data protection and encryption capabilities help you address public cloud risks.
  • Protecting Hybrid Clouds. Hybrid clouds combine on-site private cloud control with public cloud vendor scalability. So you can keep mission-critical data and applications in house while leveraging the cost savings of the public cloud for storage and temporary compute capacity needs. Trend Micro Deep Security™ protects your data as it spans both private and public infrastructures.

VDI Security

Legacy security products can ruin the chances of success of a VDI deployment due to poor performance and underwhelming VM densities. Let the recognized leader in virtual security, help you achieve the VM density, security, and ROI you expect from your virtual desktop infrastructure. Trend Micro provides comprehensive protection for virtual desktops while preserving performance and consolidation ratios.

Built specifically to handle the rigors of virtual desktop environments, Trend Micro Deep Security maximizes protection for a broad spectrum of virtual desktop scenarios. True agentless security for VMware VDI environments—antimalware, web reputation, intrusion prevention, firewall, and more—ensures no extra footprint from a security agent to impact the virtual desktops and the underlying host.

And agent-based security protects non-VMware VDI and virtual desktops in local mode.

Or, depending on your unique environment, you may choose to implement virtual desktop security at the endpoint with Trend Micro OfficeScan™.  These flexible VDI security options let you can maximize both the protection and ROI of your company’s unique VDI investment.

Virtual Patching

Applying patches to virtual machines can be challenging by the scale of VM sprawl and the change of state as VMs go dormant and are rolled back. Shield vulnerabilities before they can be exploited, saving the cost of emergency patching. Trend Micro virtual patching solutions deliver immediate protection while eliminating the operational pains of emergency patching, frequent patch cycles, and costly system downtime.

Trend Micro Deep Security shields vulnerabilities in critical systems until a patch is available and deployed or in place of a future patch that may never materialize. Either way, you get a timely, cost-effective complement to traditional patching processes that can significantly lower costs, reduce disruptions, and give you greater control over the scheduling of patches.

Deep Security can be deployed as an agent on a physical or virtual machine, or as a virtual appliance on a VMware ESX server to protect guest VMs. Trend Micro OfficeScan™ also offers virtual patching through Intrusion Defense Firewall capabilities that can be deployed directly to endpoints.

Trend Micro virtual patching solutions keep your servers and endpoints protected while preventing costly emergency patching and upgrades as well as reducing the risk of breach disclosure costs. This also helps to extend the life of legacy systems and applications.
