More and more, companies are turning to virtualisation without addressing the security implications.

It’s an enticing move: virtualisation offers attractive commercial benefits. Lower costs, a reduction in IT space and power needs, greater flexibility, green issues and faster disaster recovery are just some of the gains virtualisation can provide. However, virtualisation poses unique security risks. Today’s enemies are more sophisticated, attacks are more frequent, and the payload is more targeted.

Furthermore, conventional security can compromise the overall benefits of virtualisation. Typical antivirus solutions are not ‘virtually aware’ and can slow virtual machine performance to a standstill.

Trend Micro has the broadest and deepest suite of security solutions built specifically for VMware and other virtualisation environments, including OfficeScan 10.5 – the industry’s only VDI-optimized security product to be certified VMware Ready and Citrix Ready.

Trend’s latest virtual security innovation – Deep Security 7.5, is the only agentless AV solution for virtual environments. This unique features speeds performance on virtual machines, has strong tamper-proofing features on virtual machines, and empowers businesses with more virtual machines per host than with conventional antivirus.
