The future - true server, application protection for dynamic data centres

Johannesburg, 16 Nov 2010

Enterprises are increasingly becoming online and data-centric, connecting partners, personnel, suppliers, or customers with applications that face a growing danger of cyber attacks.

These targeted threats are greater and more sophisticated than ever before, and data security compliance requirements are becoming more stringent every day. A company therefore requires uncompromising security that enables them to modernise their data centre with virtualisation and cloud computing without impacting the performance of their systems.

“Trend Micro Deep Security provides advanced security for physical, virtual, and cloud servers and virtual desktops,” commented Lee Bristow, Product Manager at SecureData for Trend Micro products. “Whether implemented as software, virtual appliance, or in a hybrid approach, this solution minimises overhead, streamlines management, and provides strong agentless security for virtual machines. Deep Security also addresses a wide range of compliance requirements, including seven major PCI compliance requirements with multiple protection modules in one consolidated solution.”

“The latest release of Deep Security, ie, 7.5, transparently enforces security policies on VMware vSphere virtual machines for agentless anti-malware, IDS/IPS, Web application protection, application control, and firewall protection, thus co-ordinating this Deep Security Virtual Appliance with Deep Security Agent, if desired, for integrity monitoring and log inspection,” added Bristow.

“The benefits of Deep Security for users and organisations are that it prevents data breaches and business disruptions; helps comply with PCI and other regulations and standards; and achieves operational cost reductions,” concluded Bristow. “In addition, the product also offers comprehensive management across a wide range of server platforms.”

SecureData Africa, part of JSE-listed SecureData Holdings, is the sole sub-Saharan distributor for Trend Micro.
