At VMworld 2012, Trend Micro Incorporated,
the global leader in cloud security, 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 maximize the
return on investment in virtualization 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 virtualization 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 organizations to dynamically instantiate
workloads in this environment while still maintaining the highest levels
of security and compliance.
“More and more data centers are
becoming virtualized or moving to a public or hybrid cloud, ” said Steve
Quane, chief product officer, 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 data center and private cloud
workloads to public and hybrid clouds, so they can recognize 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.”
What’s NEW in Trend Micro Deep Security 9
Integration into vCloud Director and Amazon Web Services, as
well as a unified management console, enables organizations to extend
their data center security to workloads in VMware vCloud® and
Amazon-based public cloud workloads enforcing the same corporate
policies across both environments and managing the security of both
environments through a single pane of glass.
Support for latest VMware releases – vSphere 5.1 and vCloud Networking and Security 5.1
Deep Security 9 will support VMware vSphere® 5.1 and vCloud Networking
and Security™ (vCNS). This release will mark the product’s 4th generation of integration with VMware products.
Enhancements to Deep Security Agentless Platform to
include improved performance through VMware ESX® level caching and
deduplication, and recommendation scans that take the guesswork out of
tuning security policies.
Hypervisor integrity monitoring in
Deep Security 9 extends security and compliance of virtualized systems
to the hypervisor. By utilizing Intel TPM/TXT technology, Deep Security
9 is able to monitor for any unauthorized changes to the hypervisor
thereby helping organizations meet evolving compliance requirements like
PCI DSS Virtualization Guidelines.
Deep Security 9 has an agile multi-tenant architecture for software-defined data centers and providers that enables
logical separation of tenant policies and data, allows delegation and
self-service for tenants, and supports elastic cloud-scaling with
automated deployment and provisioning of Deep Security components.
RESTful management APIs also facilitates extensibility and integration
into modern cloud infrastructure.
