The company is working with VMware to integrate Trend Micro's Deep Security with VMware NSX, the platform for network virtualization. This can result in a best-of-breed security framework for joint customers that increases protection and automates security deployments in virtualized data centers. Demonstrations will be conducted during VMworld in San Francisco, Aug. 25-29 at booth 1505.

"As VMware launches its next-generation VMware NSX network virtualization platform, Trend Micro is excited to work alongside to create a comprehensive security backbone that protects the data center of the future," said Kevin Simzer, senior VP, marketing and business development, Trend Micro. "This relationship will help simplify and automate how security is deployed, delivering reliable protection that easily scales to the needs of each customer."

The Software Defined Data Center maximizes all resources necessary to host an application including storage, networking and security. As part of the Trend Micro Cloud and Data Center Security Solution, Deep Security integrates anti-malware, Web reputation and firewall in addition to intrusion prevention, integrity monitoring and log inspection to protect mission-critical applications and data. The platform utilizes agentless and agent-based protection to automatically secure virtual servers and desktops, as well as private and public clouds.

At VMworld 2013, Trend Micro will demonstrate integration between VMware NSX and Trend Micro's advanced network security capabilities. This will include new configuration techniques to simplify provisioning and new tagging capabilities to automate workflows between Trend Micro and VMware.

"When we developed VMware NSX, we recognized customers have made huge investments in security infrastructure. We developed VMware NSX as an extensible platform that leverages a distributed service framework for easy insertion of partner services such as those offered by Trend Micro," said Hatem Naguib, VP, Cloud Networking and Security, VMware. "Through this integration, our joint customers can realize the promise of VMware NSX itself - better, faster and more secure IT services."
