Trend Micro Showcases Comprehensive Security Solution for Amazon Web Services

Innovative offering simplifies cloud security as a part of the AWS shared security model

OTTAWA AND LAS VEGAS, Nov. 15, 2013 /CNW/ - At AWS re:Invent 2013, Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704) is showcasing a comprehensive, automated security solution for deployments on Amazon Web Services (AWS). Including key security capabilities such as anti-malware, firewall, intrusion prevention, encryption, and application scanning, this optimized solution empowers organizations to address their responsibilities under the AWS shared security model and keeps corporate applications and data safe. In addition, its first-of-its-kind licensing model is aligned to the way organizations purchase AWS instances, revolutionizing how security is purchased for cloud services.

Ranked number one¹ in cloud security, the solution is powered by the Trend Micro™ Deep Security platform, which secures cloud instances, Web applications and sensitive enterprise data. Unlike traditional offerings with a singular focus on capabilities like anti-malware, the Deep Security platform is full-featured and easily deployed based on each customer's needs. As an AWS Advanced Technology Partner, Trend Micro is also the only security provider leveraging the new AWS Test Drive Program, equipping customers to evaluate a broad range of security capabilities for their deployment—in minutes and at no charge.

"We were required to obtain PCI-DSS certification, in a short time, due to a requirement of one of our biggest customers. We chose Trend Micro™ SecureCloud™ service and Deep Security because, with these solutions, we have been able to meet various requirements of the PCI-DSS in a modular, fully integrated way," said Renato Giuliana, cloud project manager, Vayon Insurance Solution Provider. "Other major differentiators we found were the fast implementation of the project and the affordable cost."

AWS's shared responsibility security model establishes distinct roles to protect deployments. While AWS is responsible for infrastructure security, end-users are obligated to protect the operating system and beyond.  Trend Micro's solution encompasses a variety of capabilities to ensure deployments remain secure on AWS:

Operating systems
Deployed as a service or on premise, Deep Security protects and secures physical and virtual servers, and public and private cloud deployments. It matches the elasticity and flexibility of AWS with the full support of leading operating systems and is optimized for autoscaling using action-based metadata.

Web applications
Application vulnerability scanning with expert false positive removal combined with Web reputation management provides a holistic view of application security for any Web app.

Data
Sophisticated encryption and key management capabilities have been optimized for the AWS environment to seamlessly protect data across private and public cloud deployments. Trend Micro also offers a groundbreaking approach to protecting data in transit with unlimited SSL certificates, empowering customers to deploy the right security without concerns over extra costs.

Pricing
Trend Micro is the only security provider that allows organizations to align the purchase of their security solution with the way they purchase cloud services on AWS. Organizations can purchase security in two ways: in advance, similar to purchasing a reserved instance; or pay-as-you go, comparable to an on-demand instance, which bills only for the security used at a fraction of what customers pay AWS.
