TREND Micro Inc has announced the latest version of its server security platform designed to provide server, application and data security across physical, virtual and cloud environments.

Trend Micro Deep Security 9 is specifically designed to maximise the return on investment in virtualisation and cloud technologies for large and small enterprises, as well as managed service providers with an infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) practice, the company said in a statement.

Deep Security 9 offers additional performance and ease-of-use enhancements to the agentless architecture.

It also extends the power of the Deep Security server security platform to the public and hybrid cloud, enabling organisations to dynamically instantiate workloads in this environment while still maintaining the highest levels of security and compliance.

“More and more data centres are becoming virtualised or moving to a public or hybrid cloud,” said Goh Chee Hoh (pic), managing director, SEA Region, Trend Micro.

“Deep Security offers VMware customers intrusion prevention, integrity monitoring, and virtual patching on an agentless basis in addition to agentless AV. It allows customers to securely extend their data centre and private cloud workloads to public and hybrid clouds, so they can recognise even greater agility and cost savings,” he claimed.

Deep Security leverages both agentless and agent-based protection mechanisms to automatically and efficiently secure virtual servers and desktops, and private and public clouds and accelerate ROI.

Comprising anti-malware, web reputation, firewall, intrusion prevention, integrity monitoring and log inspection technologies in one integrated solution, it protects mission-critical enterprise applications and data from data breaches and business disruptions without expensive emergency patching.

The solution also enables cost-effective compliance to many regulations such as PCI DSS 2.0, HIPAA, NIST and SAS 70, Trend Micro claimed.

Deep Security 9 is available in Asia Pacific. Pricing is based on a per server model and also depends on the number of modules licensed.
