In the report, Nemertes Research categorizes the majority of virtualization security vendors and Trend Micro covers all functional areas, including: Host based protection, anti-malware, virtual appliance, virtual zones, virtual infrastructure protection, VM lifecycle protection, log and patch management, and configuration management. No other vendor included in the report matches all functional areas.

Over 90 percent of organizations that participate in Nemertes benchmark research are adopting virtualization," said Ted Ritter, senior research analyst at Nemertes Research. "Increasing flexibility, agility and reducing environmental footprint are primary virtualization drivers. Yet, virtualization creates two major challenges for enterprise security teams: Meeting compliance requirements and maintaining defense-in-depth. Physical security products do not address these challenges and worse, they negate much of the primary benefits of virtualization. Fully addressing these challenges requires a comprehensive virtualization security solution."

Please join Ted Ritter, senior research analyst at Nemertes Research and Harish Agastya, director of product marketing at Trend Micro as they discuss the rise of virtualization and cloud computing and the impact this is having on security best practices and next-generation security technology.

Trend Micro Enterprise Security solutions now securing ECOT include: Trend Micro(TM) OfficeScan(TM) Client-Server Suite for endpoint security protection; Trend Micro Control Manager for security management; Trend Micro(TM) InterScan(TM) Web Security Virtual Appliance for Web protection; and Trend Micro(TM) InterScan(TM) Messaging Security Virtual Appliance for messaging security for the gateway.

"By switching to Trend Micro Enterprise Security we've gained better protection and better visibility of overall security. We've been able to identify and control many threats that were invisible with other security vendors. Now we only get a handful of threats that require attention and we're able to deal with them quickly," said Brad Scott, IT manager, Electronic Classroom of Tomorrow.

The ECOT IT staff has seen great improvements in their security using Trend Micro Enterprise Security. ECOT has better zero-day protection and reduced Web threats (secure HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP traffic) with OfficeScan Client-Server Suite. The solution has minimized disruptions to learning while shielding students from inappropriate content. The IT staff has broader visibility and insights about user behavior, enabling them to define better security policies and enforcement. The integrated multilayered defense and centralized console have streamlined administration and support.

"Administration is now so much easier compared to our previous Web security solution," said Jeff Miller, an IT analyst at ECOT. "Trend Micro InterScan Web Security Virtual Appliance has reduced web support requirements by up to 80 percent. We have to handle far fewer manual interventions for Web site blacklists and whitelists--quite an improvement."

"With Trend Micro, we now have three layers of protection that have dramatically cut down on viruses and malware. We have real-time scanning of all HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP traffic with InterScan Web Security Virtual Appliance to protect on-network users from threats coming from the Internet. With OfficeScan Client-Server Suite, we protect users from threats originating in the internal network and also provide protection to off-network users. And spam, phishing and email borne malware are being blocked at the network edge with InterScan Messaging Security Virtual Appliance. The combination of all these protections is great," explained Miller.

Trend Micro Enterprise Security is a tightly integrated offering of content security products, services and solutions powered by the Trend Micro Smart Protection Network. Together they deliver maximum protection from emerging threats while minimizing the cost and complexity of security management.
