 "Trend Micro Unveils Deep Security 9")
Trend Micro Incorporated, the cloud security solutions provider, has announced the latest version of its comprehensive server security platform designed to provide server, application and data security across physical, virtual and cloud environments. Deep Security 9 is specifically designed to maximise the return on investment in virtualisation and cloud technologies for large and small enterprises, as well as managed service providers with an infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) practice.
While previous versions of Deep Security have already delivered on the innovation and market leadership in virtualisation security with an agentless security platform designed specifically for VMware environments, Deep Security 9 offers additional performance and ease-of-use enhancements to the agentless architecture. At the same time, Deep Security 9 extends the power of the Deep Security server security platform to the public and hybrid cloud, enabling organisations to dynamically instantiate workloads in this environment while still maintaining the highest levels of security and compliance.
“More and more datacentres are becoming virtualised or moving to a public or hybrid cloud,” said Amit Nath, Country Manager, India & SAARC, Trend Micro. “Deep Security offers VMware customers intrusion prevention, integrity monitoring, and virtual patching on an agentless basis in addition to agentless AV. It allows customers to securely extend their datacentre and private cloud workloads to public and hybrid clouds, so they can recognise even greater agility and cost savings.”
Deep Security leverages both agentless and agent-based protection mechanisms to automatically and efficiently secure virtual servers and desktops, and private and public clouds and accelerate ROI. Comprised of anti-malware, web reputation, firewall, intrusion prevention, integrity monitoring and log inspection technologies in one integrated solution; the solution protects mission critical enterprise applications and data from data breaches and business disruptions without expensive emergency patching. Deep Security 9 also enables cost-effective compliance to many regulations such as PCI DSS 2.0, HIPAA, NIST and SAS 70.
“We’re very happy to see Trend Micro continuing to work closely with VMware to bring customers the benefits of advanced security for virtual and cloud environments,” said Parag Patel, Vice President, Global Strategic Alliances, VMware. “Trend Micro developed Deep Security 9 with VMware in mind by including integrations with VMware vCenter, vSphere Endpoint and vCloud Director, and providing improved manageability of security in VMware environments.”
