Through this innovative service, organizations can easily add additional enterprise security capabilities to Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) and Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) deployments. These capabilities can be immediately and automatically turned on when a new Amazon EC2 instance is created, removing the risk of time lag between creation and additional security tuning. The service also comes with an investment model that reflects this on-demand environment-a simple flat rate per server hour.

Optimized for organizations using AWS. Deep Security is optimized for AWS deployments to dramatically reduce the time and cost of setting up and maintaining additional security best practices. It provides instant on- active deployment of host-based intrusion detection/prevention and firewall, as well as anti-malware, web reputation, and file integrity monitoring. The included autosync capability, dynamically detects new Amazon EC2 instances allowing customers to maintain security policies as their environment scales. It also provides detailed Amazon EC2 specific instance information that can be used to automatically extend security policies without administrator intervention.

Customers of all sizes have identified encryption of sensitive data as one of the key security capabilities that organizations should leverage for certain workloads. As part of this announcement, Trend Micro is also introducing the latest version of its breakthrough-cloud encryption and key management product, designed to extend additional data protection to cloud environments. With Trend Micro Secure Cloud 3.5, organizations can take advantage of several new enhancements focused on supporting the benefits of the elastic cloud:

  • Automatic Encryption that can be deployed and activated dynamically with instance launch, removing the need for any additional administrative actions. Secure Cloud 3.5 works with major cloud deployment tools, including Right Scale, AWS Cloud Formation, Chef, and Puppet, so that no change to current processes is required.
  • Automatic Security Policy implementation based on dynamic detection of "instance type" (eg OS, file system). This eliminates the need to separately manage different instance configurations and reduces administrative burden.
  • Enhanced Boot and Volume Protection based on policy for complete boot and data volume protection, helping to eliminate security and compliance risks, especially for legacy applications being deployed to the cloud.

Product Availability

Trend Micro Deep Security as a Service delivers its suite of security capabilities for Windows and Linux instances deployed in Amazon EC2 and VPC environments. The service is available in North American now and will be launched in Asia Pacific next year.
