According to Gartner, "In the past,organizations deployed more than one firewall brand at the perimeter or infront of the demilitarized zone with an aim to provide an overlap of capabilityin case a single product could not be relied on... While this argument has somemerit -- back doors and vulnerabilities occasionally happen -- implementingmultiple firewalls increases management complexity and the potential for humanerror, reduces scalability, and increases operational costs.[1]"

Trend Micro's built-in IPSintelligence will inspect traffic for malicious intent so that the firewall canstop threats before they get a foothold in a virtual private cloud. Together,AWS and Trend Micro offer a simple, scalable service with reliable protectionthat does not require any infrastructuremanagement.
