Trend Micro
Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), the global leader in cloud security, recently announced that global customers of
Amazon Web Services (AWS) can now take advantage of highly optimized security
solutions from Trend Micro for their AWS deployments, including the newly
announced AWS Storage Gateway. Customers deploying on AWS can now avail of newly
listed Trend Micro security solutions available in the AWS Marketplace.
Trend Micro cloud
security solutions are optimized for AWS, automating the protection for new AWS
instances, automating the encryption of sensitive data stored in the cloud, and
centralizing the management across hybrid cloud environments. Amazon Web
Services is amongst the first public cloud service providers to be certified as
part of the newly launched “Trend Ready for Cloud Service
Providers” program, easing deployment for joint customers.
Wipro is a leading IT
services firm that has combined AWS and Trend Micro together for rapid delivery
of secure, reliable deployments in the cloud for multiple global customers.
“Wipro is actively deploying
solutions on the Amazon cloud for leading global organizations,” states Sheetal
Metha, Global Head – Enterprise Security Services at Wipro. “As more and more
of our customers are taking advantage of the cloud benefits by moving to AWS,
they are demanding that we deliver solutions that include protection. With Trend Micro cloud security solutions we
confidently deliver protection for customers’ critical servers, applications,
and sensitive data.”
Virtualizing and
pooling IT resources in the cloud enables organizations to realize significant
cost savings and tremendous business agility – including the ability to deploy
new cloud-based applications in a matter of minutes, and scale up and down
instantly as demand changes. However, those valuable business benefits cannot
be sustained without addressing the unique security challenges posed by cloud
computing. While AWS provides secure facilities and hardware, customers are
responsible for maintaining and protecting their operating systems,
applications and data against malware attacks, zero-day vulnerabilities and
data breach.
According to Trend
Micro, more than 50% of corporations are moving towards virtualization and
cloud computing globally. “Organizations
are now investing in cloud security solutions to better respond and protect
their networks against malware attacks and data breach. The newly released AWS
Storage Gateway demonstrates Trend Micro’s commitment to cloud security. This will help businesses address its security
needs all in an automated and consistent way,” said Myla Pilao, director for
core technology marketing at Trend Micro.
Recognizing that
security concerns continue to deter enterprises from widespread deployments of
business-critical applications in their reliable and cost-effective cloud
service programs, Amazon has worked with Trend Micro to be certified in the
Trend Ready for Cloud Service Provider program. The program helps to expedite a
company’s journey to the cloud by giving assurances that the journey is safe
and protected through the use of Trend Micro security products in conjunction
with leading service providers like AWS.
Protect
Against Threats
Trend Micro has focused
on innovating and enhancing security for virtualized and cloud deployments
since 2005, providing customers with proven application and server protection
for cloud workloads. Deep Security includes even more innovation, enabling customers
to automate and simplify security operations on and across AWS deployments.
Tightly integrated modules easily expand the platform to ensure server,
application, and data security across Amazon EC2 instances. Security can be
highly customized with any combination of anti-malware, firewall, IDS/IPS, web
application protection, integrity monitoring, log inspection and reporting.
Customers can access the latest version of Deep Security through the newly
listed Amazon Web Services
Marketplace listing.
Protecting
Sensitive Data
Trend Micro helps protect
sensitive data through automated encryption and key management, enabling AWS
users to protect the privacy of their data and make sure that only authorized
servers access encryption keys. Trend Micro™ SecureCloud™ enables organizations
to define the policies that determine where and when encrypted data can be
accessed. In addition, server validation applies identity and integrity rules
when servers request access to secure storage volumes. SecureCloud’s elegant
and highly automated approach safely delivers encryption keys to valid devices
without the need to deploy an entire file system and management infrastructure.
Architected for cloud
from the ground up, Trend Micro security products seamlessly support
deployments on AWS, not only providing industry leading security capabilities
but also including key integration points like:
·
Seamless ability to perform inventory
synchronization of AWS environment into Trend Micro security solutions, giving
administrators an instant and complete view of security deployments and any
gaps in protection.
·
Automatic protection of newly deployed
instances and automatic deletion of terminated instances in AWS, ensuring
consistent security and management in the elastic cloud environment.
·
Visibility into critical troubleshooting
data for all protected instances, removing barriers often found in security
organizations and enabling successful and timely resolution.
·
Protection for AWS Storage Gateway, a
new service connecting an on-premises software appliance with cloud-based
storage to provide seamless and secure integration between an organization’s
on-premises IT environment and AWS’s storage infrastructure.
·
Support for AWS Linux kernels in
addition to leading platforms like Microsoft Windows and various other Linux
distributions (RedHat, SUSE, Ubuntu, CentOS), giving customers the flexibility
to fully leverage a complete AWS environment for any instance they deploy.
·
AWS has been tested and certified under
the Trend Ready for Cloud Service Providers program.
