Trend Micro continues track record of security innovation with VMware NSX Interoperability
Trend Micro has announced at VMworld 2014 new solutions for VMware environments, including tailored interoperability with the VMware NSX network virtualisation platform.
It said in a press statement that it has released Trend Micro Deep Security 9.5 to deliver 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. Trend Micro will demonstrate these new capabilities at the VMware NSX Hands-on Lab, the statement said.
“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 William Tan, Regional Country Manager, Thailand, Indo-China and Philippines, 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.”
At VMWorld 2014Trend Micro showcased 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.”
