Cloud Sentry adds visibility and guided protection to the AWS account, identifying malware without harming applications
Trend Micro, a world reference in cybersecurity solutions, has launched a new security tool that adds great value to infrastructure (DevOps) teams. Offered on the AWS marketplace, Trend Micro Cloud Sentry tracks and identifies threats in minutes, without impacting application performance or removing data from the customer environment.
“Trend Micro is the biggest player in the workload security market,” said Philip Bues, Cloud Security Research Manager at IDC. “Security teams are struggling to keep up with the rapid pace of development as business cloud infrastructure and applications are deployed in complex hybrid cloud environments. Organizations need visibility and real ways to deal with threats to reduce risk. Trend Micro offers this with Cloud Sentry”, guarantees Blues.
The new offering is a direct response to security teams who face a daily battle to keep up with the speed of application change in public cloud environments. Developers are constantly deploying new features and updating them quickly, and security controls need to be in place effectively to ensure their usability.
Jason Cradit, CIO/CTO of Summit Carbon Solutions, said, “Working with Trend Micro allows us to protect data at scale, without the need for servers to manage it, and with the advantage of keeping all of our data within our own account. It is a key turning point for us as we have hundreds of distributed teams”.
With the new protection model, organizations gain one-click insights into the context of native workload environments, freeing security teams to focus on more critical issues. Cloud Sentry enables management in a single deployment, per AWS account, and Trend Micro One, regardless of how resources are being deployed or updated.
Kevin Simzer, COO of Trend Micro, said that elevating security in the cloud is about partnering with customers on their digital transformation journeys. “As companies embrace the cloud, visibility decreases and attrition increases, so we need to level the playing field, and we've managed to do that with a visibility solution that doesn't impact production,” he points out.
In addition, today's security teams are better able to work seamlessly with developers, using risk management and threat intelligence data to inform security priorities and explain the need for change.
