DALLAS and SAN FRANCISCO, March
26, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Reinforcing ongoing support of
the AWS shared security model, Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO:
4704; TSE: 4704), an AWS Advanced Technology Partner and global
leader[1] in cloud security, today announced at the AWS Summit 2014
new initiatives that will help organizations fulfill their shared
security responsibilities for protecting data and applications
within their deployments on AWS.
"Trend Micro has invested heavily in optimizing our cloud
security technologies. We are committed to delivering solutions
that take full advantage of the benefits of AWS and that address
organizations' shared responsibility for security in the cloud,"
said Mark Nunnikhoven, principal
engineer, cloud & emerging technologies, Trend Micro. "As AWS
continues to gain momentum and develop new technologies, we plan to
continue to deliver innovative security that is smart, simple to
use and fits the way you operate in the cloud."
These new initiatives empower organizations to work with AWS
under a shared responsibility model, enabling comprehensive
protection, including:
- Certified Vulnerability Scanner: – Increasingly, organizations
are turning to AWS for the hosting of web applications[2]. AWS has
now certified Trend Micro™ Deep Security for Web Apps as a
Pre-Authorized Scanner, eliminating the need for manual steps to
enable a vulnerability scan and increasing security through the
ability to continuously scan deployed applications and web servers
for vulnerabilities, malware, and malicious links.
- Securing Startups on AWS – Trend Micro is one of a select few
AWS partners to provide security tools for the AWS Activate
Program. This program helps startups fully leverage the low cost,
easy to use infrastructure of AWS along with additional critical
resources such as security – required as part of the shared
security responsibility model. Under the program, participants can
utilize included free credits to protect deployed instances with a
range of Trend Micro cloud security capabilities.
- Updated Trend Micro Test Drive – The AWS Test Drive Program
allows organizations to quickly explore AWS-hosted solutions in a
private sandbox environment with just a few minutes needed to
launch and start using the systems. With a newly updated Trend
Micro Test Drive now available, customers are able to deploy and
evaluate the comprehensive capabilities of Trend Micro™ Deep
Security on AWS.
During the San Francisco AWS Summit 2014, Nunnikhoven will lead
a session —"Updating Security Operations for the Cloud," to provide
expert advice on how to assess and protect against Web-server
vulnerabilities while deployed on AWS. This session will draw upon
Trend Micro's global experience in helping customers automate
security in the cloud.
"As an AWS Premier Consulting Partner, our clients look to us
for solutions that deliver the full benefits of the cloud without
compromising security," said Mauricio
Fernandes, president of Dedalus, a Brazilian Information
Technology company. "Trend Micro and AWS allow us to achieve this,
with a full set of security capabilities, and without the cost and
complexity of other approaches."
Experts will also be on hand at booth No. 507 to showcase Trend
Micro's capabilities on AWS and discuss the latest announced Trend
Micro initiatives, as demonstrated in live customer
environments.
