Latest advancements help protect cloud, containers and corporate email from compromise

HONG KONG, CHINA - Media OutReach - 10April 2019 - TrendMicro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE:4704), a global leader in cybersecurity solutions, today announcedenhancements to its Deep Security™  and Cloud App Security productsdesigned to extend protection to virtual machines on the Google Cloud Platform,Kubernetes platform protection, container image scanning integration withthe  Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) andGmail on the G Suite.

TrendMicro Executive Vice President, NetworkDefense and Hybrid Cloud Security, Steve Quane said, "An increasing number ofbusinesses are investing in Google Cloud and Kubernetes to drive efficienciesand business agility. It is critical for enterprises to remember that theyshare in the responsibility of what they put in the cloud. Customers count onus to ease the implementation and automation of security earlier in thedevelopment process and to ensure the safe migration between the data center,hybrid cloud and even multi-cloud environments."

Toaddress this need, Trend Micro has created a Google Cloud Platform (GCP)Connector that enables automated discovery, visibility and protection of GCPvirtual machine instances. This eases the management by giving an instant viewof all GCP workloads while also showing any virtual machines that might havebeen deployed outside of security purview or under shadow IT projects. Thisfeature of Trend Micro Deep Security has the ability to automatically deploypolicy via automated workflows, combat advanced malware, enhance network andsystem security and capture workload telemetry for threat investigations.

Containerusers can benefit from Kubernetes platform protection at runtime with DeepSecurity intrusion prevention (IPS) rules, integrity monitoring and loginspection. Our IPS approach allows you to inspect both east-west andnorth-south traffic between containers and platform layers like Kubernetes.Additionally, Trend Micro's Deep Security provides container image scanning inthe build pipeline for vulnerabilities, malware, embedded secrets / keys andcompliance checks. Deployed as a Kubernetes Helm Chart, this container imagescanning simplifies security deployment on popular services like GoogleKubernetes Engine (GKE), Azure KubernetesService (AKS) and Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes (EKS).

Research continues to show that email remainsone of the most popular threat vectors which drove Trend Micro to expand itspopular Cloud App Security platform to support Gmail users within G Suite.Organizations are increasingly looking to cloud email services to boostproductivity and agility. Trend Micro has the most comprehensive email securitycoverage, with both Office 365 and now Gmail, to ensure malicious threats haveno place to hide.  

Collectively these innovations demonstrateTrend Micro's commitment to the Google community. The company will bepreviewing these innovations in booth #1615 at this week's Google Cloud Next in San Francisco, California.
