Trend Micro, Docomo launch security shield for IoT devices 

Trend Micro, Docomo launch security shield for IoT devices 

Japan’s largest mobile phone operator is beefing up security to protect IoT devices running on its network in Thailand and elsewhere. NTT Docomo executive vice president Akihiko Omikawa, said the company’s Cloud Platform Network Security Service is offering layers of security solutions from Trend Micro – a new innovation.


The result is an easy-to-use security shield specifically for Domoco customers who are building infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) environments.
Previously, customers of the Docomo Cloud Platform had to set up third-party security products manually. This new service simplifies the process and is part of plans to handle the extra security risks posed by fifth-generation (5G) internet. 
Under the technical covers of this solution is Trend Micro’s Virtual Network Function Suite, tested rigorously last year in the Docomo 5G Open Cloud.
Security threats hidden in traffic of various services executed on the cloud are visualised, detected, and ultimately blocked by Trend Micro. This provides a secure 5G environment to users and protect against internet of things devices that don’t incorporate additional security.
