rend Micro, a global leader in
cybersecurity solutions, has announced
the extension of its industry leading
network protection to the cloud, now
available on Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Marketplace. This was delivered in response to
the operational challenges enterprises often
experience, with available network security
solutions. It will first be available for AWS
Transit Gateway, with multiple deployment
models planned to follow.
“Cloud security is the highest priority for
AWS, and we are committed to helping
customers achieve the highest levels of
security in the cloud,” said Dave Brown,
Vice President, EC2 Compute & Networking
Services at Amazon Web Services, Inc.
“As companies move and scale their
infrastructure in the cloud, they are looking
for ways to easily insert and manage security
appliances in their network topologies. With
AWS Transit Gateway, Trend Micro’s security
solution is now available to 230,000 buyers
through AWS Marketplace and will help our
shared customers address their network
security needs in the cloud.”
“We consistently hear from customers that
they face significant operational hurdles
with today’s firewall-based approaches to
cloud network security,” said Steve Quane,
Executive Vice President of Network Defense
and Hybrid Cloud Security at Trend Micro.
“They introduce operational complexity,
are disruptive to deploy and are inefficient,
due in large part to complex networking
requirements that are cumbersome in the
cloud. Trend Micro’s approach removes these
operational challenges. With transparent
deployment into the network fabric, it delivers
scalable security and continuous visibility,
while eliminating the need to rearchitect and
avoiding application disruption.”
Trend Micro Cloud Network Protection, which
will be listed on AWS Marketplace, leverages
the power of Trend Micro Research, including
the Zero Day Initiative (ZDI) bug bounty
program, to spot advanced targeted attacks,
vulnerabilities and exploits, and easily
integrates with other security tools.
“In order to stay ahead of the growing
demand amongst African companies to
invest in the cloud resources of AWS, we
need to ensure our customers across the
continent are able to meet any current
or future challenges they face with cloud
network security,” added Indi Siriniwasa, Vice
President of Trend Micro Sub-Saharan Africa.
“Our customers are moving to the cloud to
reduce operational complexity, and I believe
that Cloud Network Protection will serve
them well when scaling their operations to
the cloud.” n
Trend Micro’s security solution was built
to accommodate the growing amount of
network teams being tasked with extending
their security to the cloud. It does so by
utilising the AWS Transit Gateway, which
simplifies the routing between Amazon
Virtual Private Clouds (Amazon VPCs) and
on-premises networks by acting as a hub
that controls traffic routing among all
connected spokes.
For customers with particularly demanding
network traffic, the option to deploy on FPGA
accelerated instances will be available with
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon
EC2) F1.
