Trend Micro Teams With HyTrust To Enable Cloud Security And Control

Cupertino and Mountain View, CA – October 11, 2011 – Trend Micro Incorporated and HyTrust, Inc. today announced a partnership to help organizations streamline security and compliance reporting for virtualized and cloud computing environments. The companies will provide integrated reporting tools that reduce audit response times, and increase auditor confidence.

“As with any new technology, virtualization poses unique challenges to the PCI DSS compliance process in cardholder data environments,” said Tom McAndrew, vice president of professional services at Coalfire. “Trend Micro and HyTrust together are making quick work of tracking relevant information for both the applications and system components, and integrating reporting into a single dashboard.”

Trend Micro™ Deep Security solution provides advanced security and protection for servers deployed across physical, virtual or cloud infrastructures. It helps companies prevent data breaches while ensuring business continuity. Deep Security’s modules include Firewall/Deep Packet Inspection, Intrusion Detection and Prevention, File Integrity Monitoring, Agentless Anti-malware and Advanced Monitoring, as well as configurable log inspection capabilities. The entire solution is dynamic, centrally managed and supports multiple compliance standards including PCI DSS, FISMA and HIPAA.

HyTrust’s solution ensures control, security, management and compliance for virtual infrastructures, and provides consolidated PCI DSS reporting in conjunction with Trend Micro’s Deep Security platform.

“Trend Micro Deep Security is highly integrated and optimized for VMware vSphere™ environments,” said Narsi Kodukula, senior director of data center and cloud security solutions, Trend Micro. “The combination of Trend Micro and HyTrust’s solutions provide customers with the assurance that they can virtualize their applications onto VMWare vSphere while maintaining ongoing visibility into critical PCI DSS compliance metrics.”
