DALLAS and SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 20,
2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Trend Micro Inc. (TYO: 4704; TSE:
4704), a global pioneer in security software, today announced three
of its security experts will speak and present during VMworld 2014,
August 24 – 28 at the Moscone Center,
San Francisco. Trend Micro
sessions will provide their audiences with insights on topics
including advanced security controls in the hybrid cloud, agentless
security in the software defined data center, and automated threat
remediation with VMware NSX™.
In addition to live demonstrations and product presentations at
Trend Micro's booth No. 1505, attendees will gain valuable insight
into the latest VMware security trends from experts at one of the
leading providers of virtualization security. Sessions include:
- "Agentless Security in the SDDC with Trend Micro -
Real-World Use Cases Across VMware Platforms"
JD Sherry, VP, Solutions & Technologies
Monday, August 25 at 3:30-4:30 p.m. PST
Agentless security was first introduced to the market in 2010 by
VMware and its leading security partners. Originally focused on
anti-malware, agentless capabilities have expanded to include areas
such as IDS/IPS, integrity monitoring and web reputation/URL
filtering. In subsequent years, customers have deployed this new
technology across platforms and in a variety of use cases such as
server consolidation, desktop virtualization (VDI),
compliance/PCI-sensitive workloads and now for network
virtualization and micro-segmentation with VMware NSX. In this
session, attendees will hear from a cross-section of industry
professionals who have deployed agentless security in these
scenarios and can speak to its numerous advantages such as
improving consolidation ratios/VM density, simplifying and
automating security provisioning and increasing protection/reducing
the attack surface of VMs. Attendees will hear case studies from UF
Health Shands Hospital; A&W Food Services of Canada; and the University of Pittsburgh.
- "(Security) Agents of Shield by Trend Micro - Making the
VMware Cloud Safer & Easier for All"
Bryan Webster, Solution
Architect
Monday, August 25 at 5:30-6:30 p.m. PST
IT is constantly challenged by the business to be flexible and
fast, yet how can we maintain a secure environment while delivering
the agility that business demands? This session will demonstrate
how to enforce advanced security controls in the hybrid cloud. Some
techniques covered will include virtual patching to shield
vulnerabilities and avoid downtime, how to easily replicate on
premise security policies within a hybrid cloud deployment and how
to ensure that security posture is maintained or improved via new
tools and integrations between security platforms and VMware's
vCloud Hybrid Service.
- "Tag! Your VM's Been Hit: Security Automation and
Remediation via NSX Tagging"
Saif Choudhry, Lead Solution
Architect
Tuesday, August 26 at 12:30-1:30 p.m
PST
The Software Defined Data Center is here and extending
virtualization technology across the entire physical data center
infrastructure. VMware NSX is an important product delivering
network virtualization with the ability to programmatically create,
delete, snapshot and restore software-based networks. This agility
in network management, as well as the dynamic virtual machine
security group and tagging abilities of NSX, provide a platform for
the integration of advanced next generation remediation abilities
that were simply not possible before. With the ability to group
virtual machines into security groups based on dynamic information,
users now have the ability to limit the capabilities of virtual
machines that have become vulnerable. Partner solutions can
integrate with this dynamic tagging capability and security group
inclusion and exclusion rules to limit the vulnerability landscape.
With the integration of Trend Micro's Deep Security file and
network introspection engine with VMware's NSX dynamic security
groups and tagging system, IT Managers are able to add to existing
remediation and visibility capabilities by dynamically tagging
virtual machines when anomalies are detected. By applying these
tags, there is additional opportunity to use the security group
rules to limit the attack surface, provide more visibility and
provide potential forensic study opportunities automatically.
