DALLAS and SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 25,
2014 /PRNewswire/ -- To better meet the security needs
for customers across physical, virtualized and cloud environments,
Trend Micro (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704) today announced at VMworld 2014
new solutions for VMware environments, including tailored
interoperability with the VMware NSX™ network virtualization
platform. Just released, Trend Micro™ Deep Security™ 9.5 delivers
agentless security tailor-made for customers deploying VMware NSX
across both file and network-based security controls.
The combination of VMware NSX's zero-trust, micro-segmentation
model of virtualized security with Deep Security's comprehensive
range of agentless security controls enables advanced security
services including more granular micro-segmentation, and real-time
quarantine, and remediation capabilities with minimal service
downtime for the modern data center— something which traditional
file and perimeter security vendors cannot deliver. Trend Micro
will demonstrate these new capabilities at the VMware NSX Hands-on
Lab as well as at the Trend Micro booth throughout VMworld
2014.
"Trend Micro and VMware continue to collaborate on security
solutions for the software-defined data center, and with our new
solution for VMware NSX, we are advancing our ongoing commitment to
security innovation," said Partha
Panda, vice president of global channels and strategic
alliances, Trend Micro. "Our expertise with cloud and data center
security combined with VMware's virtualization leadership offers
customers the best of both worlds for performance, agility, and
security. The combined capabilities of our respective
industry-leading solutions will allow our mutual customers to
execute their businesses with confidence."
Trend Micro is the only security provider that delivers a
comprehensive range of security controls across the modern data
center and cloud – including anti-malware with web reputation,
host-based firewall, IDS/IPS, integrity monitoring, log inspection
and web application scanning.
At VMworld 2014, Trend Micro will showcase enhanced cloud
support with Deep Security 9.5, featuring a new, dynamic Smart
Agent that streamlines deployment and increases flexibility.
The Smart Agent technology also takes advantage of a new
program for rapid response to Linux kernel updates that are common
in today's dynamic deployments, helping to ensure that security
does not slow down a company's business. Trend Micro will also
introduce plug-ins for VMware vCenter Operations Manager, providing
customers with real-time status of security related events across
virtual data centers through a dashboard display.
"Security is now a board-level issue with our customers, with
the rate of security spending being outpaced only by the increasing
frequency of security breaches," said Hatem
Naguib, senior vice president, networking and security,
VMware. "Through collaboration with Trend Micro, we are working to
deliver new advanced security services that leverage security
controls inherent in the software-defined data center."
Global companies are already benefiting from Trend Micro's
collaboration with VMware:
"While virtualization has helped us drive efficiencies, we
weren't pleased with the overhead and poor performance of our
previous third-party security solution," said Bruce Jamieson, network systems manager, A&W
Food Services of Canada. "On the
contrary, Trend Micro Deep Security has been an excellent fit for
the needs of our growing virtualized environment. The
zero-footprint agentless security was just what we needed in terms
of value and reliability. It's exciting to know that they're
expanding functionalities for VMware NSX."
At VMworld 2014, Trend Micro will demonstrate these new
enhancements, as well as other security offerings (Booth 1505).
Company experts will also present in three track sessions:
- Agents of Shield by Trend Micro – Making the VMware Cloud
Safer, Easier for All
- Agentless Security in the SDDC with Trend Micro – Real-World
Use Cases Across VMware Platforms
- Tag! Your VM's Been Hit: Security Automation and Remediation
