Micro, a long-time security
innovator and provider of security and compliance solutions for
environments, is the first security vendor to unveil an
anti-malware solution that leverages the new VMware vShield Endpoint.
VMware vShield Endpoint strengthens
security for virtual machines and their hosts while significantly
improving performance for virtual machine (VM) protection by
offloading anti-malware processing to dedicated security-hardened
virtual machines delivered by VMware partners. Integrating VMware
vShield Endpoint
APIs has enabled Trend Micro to create anti-malware protection for
VMs without requiring a third-party agent to be installed on each VM,
thereby reducing memory and CPU load. As a result, Trend Micro is
able to provide anti-malware protection for VMs, while minimizing
performance and operational impact.
“VMware vShield Endpoint further
demonstrates VMware's ongoing commitment to security,” said Parag
Patel, VP-Global Strategic Alliances, VMware. He further added,
“Security solutions like Trend Micro Deep Security that leverage
this new technology, enable VMware vSphere customers to secure their
virtualized desktops and servers while minimizing performance and
operational impact. Customers can accelerate their virtualization
investments, achieve higher VM consolidation rates and reap greater
operational expenditure savings, while helping to ensure compliance
with regulations and corporate policies.”
Trend Micro delivers agentless
anti-malware for VMware through Trend Micro Deep Security 7.5, which
was also released at the do. Deep Security provides advanced
protection for virtualized systems, and the latest version includes
agentless anti-malware, together with IDS/IPS, web application
protection, firewall, integrity monitoring and log inspection
modules.
“As an early VMware security partner,
Trend Micro has been heavily committed to delivering solutions that
are tightly integrated with and fully leverage VMware technologies,”
said Wael Mohamed, Senior VP-Business Development, Trend Micro.
“The availability of VMware vShield Endpoint is an important step
forward for customers, as it has allowed us to deliver a solution
that does not require the installation of security software onto each
VM. This further conserves the performance and memory of the server,
and allows enterprises to consolidate more VMs on each server,”
Mohamed further added.
By leveraging VMware vShield Endpoint,
Trend Micro is able to provide effective solutions to businesses that
want the cost-savings and operating efficiencies of virtualization,
but need the protection from malware and other Web threats that may
compromise their networks.
