Private and public clouds provide compelling business value in lowering costs and increasing business agility, but also present new security gaps and operational challenges that conventional defenses cannot resolve. For example, IDC conducted a survey of 263 IT executives, CIOs and
their line of business colleagues to gauge their opinions and understand their companies’ use of IT Cloud Services. Security ranked first as the greatest challenge or issue attributed to cloud computing. SecureCloud was designed to address these concerns: It alleviates data security, privacy and compliance risks associated with deploying information into any cloud-computing
environment.

You’re always in control because you hold the encryption keys
SecureCloud’s patent-pending approach integrates unique policy-based key management,
industry-standard encryption and virtual-server authentication to safely and easily deploy data
into private or public cloud environments. This lightweight approach enables cloud users to
secure sensitive information without having to install a vastly more complex secure file
infrastructure. It can deliver services in a private cloud that resides in the enterprise datacenter, a
public cloud outside the enterprise managed by third-party service providers, or a hybrid cloud
that combines private and public clouds. Since users choose and manage their own security
solution, they gain the freedom and power to move to whichever provider or deployment model
fits their needs.

SecureCloud gives users exclusive custody over their encryption keys, where other encryption solutions might share or keep custody of keys. This approach provides “separation of duties,” allowing cloud customers the ability to leverage the efficiencies and benefits of cloud services
while maintaining authority over the information within their environments.

SecureCloud also helps users comply with security standards set in regulations like HITECH, PCI DSS and GLBA by safeguarding sensitive and personally identifiable information with strong encryption techniques. Ultimately, giving data owners the exclusive ability to dictate when and where encryption keys are deployed allows them to maintain complete control over their information and operate safely in any cloud computing environment.

Expanding Trend Micro’s product family for public and private cloud environments Trend Micro has invested heavily in a family of multi-layered protection for cloud and virtual environments.

Currently, Trend Micro™ Deep Security prevents data theft, business disruptions, and compliance violations with comprehensive server security for today’s virtualized datacenter. The latest release of Deep Security (see press release here) now includes agent-less anti-malware, virtualization-aware intelligence, and leverages VMware vShield Endpoint technology for stronger server protection against data breaches and greater compliance. In addition, Trend Micro™ Core Protection for Virtual Machines delivers malware protection for active and dormant virtual servers in VMware vSphere™ environments.

Trend Micro SecureCloud enhances an already broad solution lineup for cloud security, but is specific to the security and governance of data stored and used in private or public clouds. The new solution can complement and work alongside Trend Micro Deep Security: While Deep Security provides a secure container into which customers can put their applications and
manipulate their data, SecureCloud encrypts and controls data stored outside the container so that only its encryption key owners can access it.

Trend Micro SecureCloud is part of Trend Micro™ Enterprise Security – a tightly integrated offering of content security products, services and solutions which is powered by the Trend Micro™ Smart Protection Network™ infrastructure. Trend Micro Enterprise Security delivers maximum protection from emerging threats while minimizing the cost and complexity of security management.
