Trend Micro Incorporated a leader in cloud security, Monday announced the AWS Marketplace debut of its answer to the needs of organizations building in the cloud on Amazon Web Services (AWS). A comprehensive platform, referred to as Trend Micro Cloud One, designed to protect across leading cloud-based environments with services designed for applications, network, workloads, file storage, containers and cloud security posture management. “We applaud Trend Micro for building security services suited for buyers who innovate on AWS and participate in the shared responsibility model,” said Kamlesh Talreja, general manager, AWS Marketplace, AWS. “AWS Marketplace is the first cloud marketplace to offer Trend Micro Cloud One, enabling developers to access the flexible pricing, customizable contracts, and rapid deployment they need.” According to Gartner, “Enterprises are increasingly implementing hybrid data center architectures, with workloads spanning on-premises and public cloud IaaS providers and, increasingly, container-based implementations leveraging serverless functions. “However, elastic, cloud-native-style applications have unique security requirements that are quite different from end-user-facing systems. To securely embrace the opportunities of public cloud and to support the speed and dynamism of cloud environments, workload protection solutions designed to meet these requirements should be used.” Trend Micro mirrors the self-service, pay-as-you-go procurement model offered by AWS. This simplifies everything related to cloud builds from volume negotiation to API integrations. Customers have the investment benefit of security flexibility as application designs evolve over time with the assurance not to overburden the organization’s security teams. “The debut of Trend Micro Cloud One platform in the AWS Marketplace is a step forward in our efforts to make our security innovations available for those building and scaling in the cloud,” said Dr. Moataz Bin Ali, VP and managing director, Trend Micro Middle East and North Africa. “Leveraging the power of Trend Micro Cloud One, regional innovators can seamlessly defend their applications, environments and workloads against threats, malware and vulnerabilities, as well as accelerate compliance – with a flexible, automated and all-in-one security platform.” — SG
