Alliance Partners

Cisco and Trend Micro, long-time strategic partners, share a vision of integrating security software and intelligence into the network infrastructure. In a recent collaborative effort, Trend Micro worked closely with Cisco to develop comprehensive and customisable security for select Cisco Adaptive Security Appliances.

“Trend Micro’s award-winning gateway protection allows us to deliver the value of integrated, multi-function security at the network edge. This new addition also underscores Cisco’s Self-Defending Network security strategy which helps organisations around the world identify, prevent, and adapt to the changing Internet threat environment and help protect critical investments,” said Richard Palmer, senior vice president and general manager, Cisco Security Technology Group.

Cisco and Trend Micro are also working to revolutionise home Internet security. By integrating Trend Micro security into Linksys by Cisco wireless routers, the two Alliance Partners have extended protection beyond PCs to other home-network devices, including online game consoles, Wi-Fi enabled phones, and personal media players. Cisco and Trend Micro also offer Home Network Defender, an Internet security service that features safe web surfing, parental controls, and user-activity reporting embedded on Linksys by Cisco wireless-N home routers.

Dell and Trend Micro collaborate to help small and medium businesses solve their IT security challenges. Together they are offering Trend Micro™ Worry-Free™ Business Security to Dell’s small and medium businesses worldwide. With customers’ evolving security needs in mind, Dell and Trend Micro worked closely to develop a customised user interface, simplifying endpoint security management for business owners and IT administrators. With lower-cost, easy-to-manage security that delivers better protection, business owners can focus on business instead of worrying about IT security.

RSA, the Security Division of EMC, has partnered with Trend Micro to leverage the real-time threat data collected and correlated by the Trend Micro™ Smart Protection Network™. The data is used to enhance capabilities of the RSA® FraudAction Service to stop online attacks that can lead to identity theft.

As a result of the relationship, the RSA FraudAction service has increased global fraud intelligence on suspicious crimeware—to more effectively defend customers against online crime.

“This inventive collaboration between two leaders in online security is another step ahead in the fight against the global cyber-threat which continues to escalate as online fraudsters become more organised and effective than ever”, said Tom Corn, vice president of Product Marketing at RSA. “The ability to combat cybercriminals requires a far more purposeful collaboration within the industry – such as that between RSA and Trend Micro – and a strong security ecosystem focused on mitigating risk.”

HP and Trend Micro have collaborated on many fronts to secure business technology. HP selected Trend Micro™ Client/Server/ Messaging Suite for Small and Medium Businesses for pre-installation on industry-leading HP ProLiant servers. The integrated solution helps reduce deployment effort and administrative costs, while delivering industry leading anti-malware and antispam.

“Trend’s open approach to business and technology collaboration is a strong fit for us, and we look forward to working with them to deliver solutions that provide better business outcomes for our customers,” said Ron Eller, vice president and general manager of Enterprise Solutions Alliances at HP.

In addition to being Alliance Partners, Trend Micro is an IBM Premier Business Partner, a high status accorded to industry partners that have demonstrated superior skills and market success, and have actively collaborated with IBM to deliver significant client value through innovative solutions.

For nearly a decade, Trend Micro has worked with IBM to offer a wide range of security solutions for the IBM platform and IBM applications. Most recently, the two companies co-developed a new convergence solution for endpoint systems management and security — the most integrated and comprehen-sive solution of its kind.

IBM and Trend Micro also share a long history of collaborating to optimise mail server security. As a result, Trend Micro ScanMail for Lotus Domino is the only security solution designed for all 64-bit platforms supported by IBM Lotus Domino Servers, including zLinux.

In addition to being Alliance Partners, Trend Micro is a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner with a long history of developing security for Microsoft environments, including Windows and Exchange.

Trend Micro was the first vendor certified for supporting Microsoft™ Windows™ 7 across the company's flagship consumer, small to medium business, and enterprise solutions.

"We are pleased to have the support of a security leader like Trend Micro to provide an extra layer of protection for Windows 7 users," said Michael Angiulo, General Manager of Windows Planning and PC Ecosystem at Microsoft Corp. "We are working closely with Trend Micro to ensure that Windows 7 provides the security tools that workers need to be productive—whenever and wherever they are using their PCs."

Trend Micro has a long history of developing security solutions for Sun Solaris, now part of Oracle’s product offering. Trend Micro has also collaborated with Sun (now Oracle) to enhance capabilities of iForce, an integrated perimeter security solution for enterprises and service providers wanting to offer hosted security to their customers. This solution was designed to increase prevention and detection, improve capture systems and speed response to all types of security threats.

Trend Micro and Qualys, a leader in on-demand IT security risk and compliance management SaaS solutions, have partnered to boost security compliance and vulnerability assessment across dynamic datacenters. With this alliance, Trend Micro is able to offer proven Qualys compliance solutions along with Trend Micro™ Enterprise Security—to provide a more comprehensive compliance solution for customers worldwide.

Customers benefit from more comprehensive IT security compliance capabilities, including vulnerability and threat management, compensating controls and assessment, plus reporting and submission to meet Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) requirements.

"With the rise of Cloud Computing and rapid technological changes, it is imperative for vendors to work together to enable customers to secure their data and meet compliance requirements beyond the enterprise walls," said Philippe Courtot, chairman and CEO for Qualys. "We are thrilled to work with Trend Micro to help customers worldwide identify and remediate threats… and give them a precise view of their global security and compliance posture."

Trend Micro and Radialpoint, a leading provider of Digital Home Services solutions for consumer technology, have formed an alliance to develop online data protection services built for service providers.

The first joint offering integrates Trend Micro™ Titanium™ Maximum Security with Radialpoint's Digital Home Services Platform. The integrated solution, Managed Internet Security, powered by Trend Micro™, gives service providers a powerful tool for supporting their customers' need to manage and protect their devices, connectivity and content.

"Radialpoint is constantly looking for market-leading consumer services to integrate as part of our Digital Home Services programs, and we're excited to offer Trend Micro's technologies through this alliance," said Michael Wexler, VP, DHS Solutions, Radialpoint.

VMware and Trend Micro are leading the way into the cloud, and through close collaboration, Trend Micro has developed the most comprehensive suite of next-generation virtualisation security solutions—including the first and only agentless antivirus for data centers and virtual desktops (VDI). As a result of this ground-breaking innovation, customers are able to triple VM density in the data center. This was made possible by integrating Trend Micro Deep Security with VMware vShield Endpoint APIs—removing the need for a third-party agent to be installed on each VM, thereby reducing memory and CPU load.

"Security solutions like Trend Micro Deep Security that leverage [VMware vShield] enable VMware customers to secure their virtualised desktops and servers while minimising performance and operational impact. Customers can accelerate their virtualisation investments, achieve higher VM consolidation rates and reap greater operational expenditure savings, while helping to ensure compliance with regulations and corporate policies," said Parag Patel, vice president, global strategic alliances, VMware.

Trend Micro and Wipro Technologies have formed an alliance to help secure public and private cloud computing environments that are being increasingly challenged to deliver operational cost savings, while still ensuring the security and compliance of critical IT assets. The partners are collaborating to provide joint virtualised data center security, as well as datacenter consolidation solutions using next-generation security products from Trend Micro and other mutual partners.

As part of this strategic partnership, Wipro and Trend Micro are building Centers of Excellence to address the challenging data protection, security and compliance needs of today's virtualised data centers, as well as the growing market demand for server consolidation. With access to combined Wipro and Trend Micro expertise at these Centers of Excellence around the globe, including the U.S., U.K., Australia and Japan, enterprises will be able to better focus on their core business competencies, while letting industry leaders help them effectively implement innovative security solutions that reduce risks and costs.
