Trend Micro Announces Innovations in Security For the VMware Platform

April 2008 by Marc Jacob

Trend Micro Incorporated will demonstrate innovations in security solutions for VMware virtualized environments at the 2008 RSA Conference in San Francisco at Trend Micro Booth #639.

The prototype technology consists of a new virtualization security solution that operates in a VMware ESX 3.5 environment, scans for infected machines and remediates any that are found. With this technology, Trend Micro will be able to provide greater protection for VMware virtual machines.

Trend Micro is also announcing that its leading enterprise security products for the endpoint, gateway and server are supported in VMware environments. This enables joint customers to gain the same level of support for Trend Micro products running in VMware virtualized environments as they would on physical hardware.

Trend Micro is integrating the recently announced VMware VMsafeTM APIs into its security technology in an effort to enable channel partners and customers to enhance the security of their VMware environments. VMsafe technology protects applications running on virtual machines in ways previously not possible in physical environments. The VMsafe APIs allow vendors to develop advanced security products that combat the latest generation of malware. VMsafe technology integrates into the VMware hypervisor and provides the transparency to prevent threats and attacks such as viruses, Trojans and keyloggers from ever reaching a virtual machine. The Trend Micro ™ brand of security software will have the ability to run isolated from, and at a higher level of privilege than, the target malware. This will allow offline VMware virtual machines to be scanned and remediated prior to being reactivated.

In the physical world, businesses spend a great deal of time and money securing their physical endpoints from malware and other Web threats that could enter their networks. In the virtual world, security solutions typically have not taken advantage of the benefits of virtualization to provide security solutions that are superior to those used in pure physical environments. By using the unique introspection capabilities of VMware virtualization software, 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.

 Pricing and Availability

VMware-support for existing Trend Micro products is effective immediately. For a complete list of these products, please visit www.trendmicro.com/go/virtualization. Current VMware-supported products use the existing licensing model. Trend Micro customers who purchase these versions and switch their deployments to VMware can do so at no extra cost or software. This provides customers a choice of running the applications on standalone hardware or on virtual environments, depending on their IT needs. Certain exceptions may apply.

The new Trend Micro technology securing virtualized environments is expected to be available in the second half of 2008.
