Trend Micro Delivers First Agentless Anti-Malware for VMware-Virtualized Datacenters
September 2010 by Marc Jacob
Trend Micro, a provider of security and compliance solutions for VMware 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 antimalware 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.
Trend Micro delivers agentless anti-malware for VMware through Trend Micro™ Deep Security 7.5, which was also announced today (please see press release here). 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.
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. Trend Micro Deep Security is part of Trend Micro™ Enterprise Security – a tightly integrated offering of content security products, services and solutions which is powered by the Trend Micro™ Smart Protection Network™. Trend Micro Enterprise Security delivers maximum protection from emerging threats while minimizing the cost and complexity of security management.
