Japanese cybersecurity firm Trend Micro said that it has been appointed by persistent systems to secure its VMware environments, after a successful endpoint security deployment for nearly a decade.

The solutions chosen are Deep Security and Apex One endpoint security which Persistent Systems has been using to protect its 11,000 endpoints across the globe for almost ten years.

Deep Security provides multilayered, automated protection and comprehensive visibility needed for complex IT security tasks. It is also tightly integrated with VMware, allowing it to intuitively protect the VMware infrastructure and automatically shield virtual machines (VMs) from malware and ransomware attacks, said the company.

“We were on the lookout for an agentless virus protection solution for our VMware virtualized environment. Trend Micro's Deep Security helps us protect all the VMs from advanced threats and virus attacks without compromising VM performance. The product has helped us significantly reduce the admin overhead without compromising VM security,” said Sandeep Deshmukh, senior general manager, Technology Excellence, Persistent Systems.

“We were looking for a tool that would reduce operational efforts and achieve cost-efficiency. Trend Micro's Deep Security really works for us and allows us to reduce operational efforts, and protect virtual machines from malware,” said Parag Karhadkar, senior general manager, Service Excellence, Persistent Systems.
