VMware Virtualization security
Trend Micro Deep Security
Virtualization and cloud computing have changed the face of today’s data center. Yet as
organizations move from physical environments to a mix of physical, virtual, and cloud,
many have addressed the prevailing threat landscape with yesterday’s mix of legacy
security solutions. The results can actually threaten desired performance gains—causing
undue operational complexity, leaving unintentional security gaps, and ultimately
hindering the organization’s ability to fully invest in virtualization and cloud.
Trend Micro Deep Security provides a comprehensive server security platform designed
to protect your virtualized data center from data breaches and business disruptions
while enabling compliance. This agentless solution simplifies security operations while
accelerating the ROI of virtualization and cloud projects. Tightly integrated modules
easily expand the platform to ensure server, application, and data security across
physical, virtual, and cloud servers, as well as virtual desktops. So you can custom tailor
your security with any combination of agentless and agent-based protection, including
anti-malware, web reputation, firewall, intrusion prevention, integrity monitoring, and log
inspection. The result is an adaptive and efficient server security platform that protects
mission-critical enterprise applications and data from breaches and business disruptions
without expensive emergency patching.

the number of known good events through
automatic cloud-based whitelisting from
Trend Micro Certified Safe Software Service
Web Reputation
• Integrates with the Trend Micro™ Smart
Protection Network™ for web reputation
capabilities that strengthen protection for
servers and virtual desktops
• Provides agentless web reputation on the same
virtual appliance as agentless anti-malware
and intrusion prevention for greater virtual
server security without added footprint
Intrusion Detection and Prevention
• Protects against known and zero-day attacks
by shielding known vulnerabilities from
unlimited exploits
• Examines all incoming and outgoing traffic
for protocol deviations, policy violations, or
content that signals an attack
• Automatically shields newly discovered
vulnerabilities within hours, pushing
protection to thousands of servers in
minutes without a system reboot
• Assists compliance (PCI DSS 6.6) to protect
web applications and the data they process
• Defends against SQL injection, cross-site
scripting, and other web application
vulnerabilities
• Shields against vulnerabilities until code fixes
can be completed
• Includes out-of-the-box vulnerability protection
for all major operating systems and over 100
applications, including database, web, email,
and FTP servers
• Provides increased visibility into, or control
over applications accessing the network
Bidirectional Stateful Firewall
• Decreases the attack surface of physical,
cloud, and virtual servers with fine-grained
filtering, design policies per network, and
location awareness for all IP-based protocols
and frame types
• Centrally manages server firewall policy,

BUILT FOR VMWARE VIRTUA L AND CLOUD ENVIRONMENTS
Deep Security is specifically designed for virtual environments. Its agentless architecture addresses
AV storms, minimizes operational complexity of security and allows organizations to increase VM
densities and accelerate virtualization and cloud adoption. Developed in close collaboration with
VMware, Deep Security is the first product in its category to offer support for VMware vSphere
5.1 and VMware vShield Endpoint 5.1. Deep Security also provides full backward compatibility with
vSphere 4.1 and 5.0 environments. The Deep Security 9 Manager also supports mixed mode VMware
environments supporting both vSphere 5.1 and vSphere 5.0 protected by the Deep Security 9 or 8
virtual appliances.
PLATFORM ARCHITECTURE
Deep Security Virtual Appliance. Transparently enforces security policies on VMware vSphere
virtual machines for agentless anti-malware, web reputation, intrusion prevention, integrity
monitoring, and firewall protection—coordinating with Deep Security Agent, if desired, for log
inspection and defense in depth.
Deep Security Agent. This small software component deployed on the server or virtual machine
being protected enforces the datacenter’s security policy (anti-malware, web reputation, intrusion
prevention, firewall, integrity monitoring, and log inspection).
Deep Security Manager. Powerful, centralized management enables administrators to create
security profiles and apply them to servers, monitor alerts and preventive actions taken in response
to threats, distribute security updates to servers, and generate reports. Event Tagging functionality
streamlines the management of high-volume events.
Smart Protection Network. Deep Security integrates with this next-generation cloud-client
infrastructure to deliver real-time protection from emerging threats by continuously evaluating
and correlating threat and reputation intelligence for websites, email sources, and files.
