Trend Micro Deep Security

My main use case for Trend Micro Deep Security  is its best feature, virtual patching, which allows us to secure our server against known vulnerabilities without having to immediately apply OS or application patches. This has helped reduce downtime, improve compliance, and safeguard critical workloads. The solution has seven modules, including anti-malware, web reputation, firewall, integrity monitoring, and log inspection, but its best feature remains virtual patching.

I use Trend Micro Deep Security  in multiple organizations, primarily in the financial sector and multiple banks, where I have protected both our physical and virtual servers from vulnerabilities. Its role is primarily virtual patching, meaning if our server is vulnerable due to a zero-day attack and a patch is not applied, Trend Micro Deep Security creates a virtual patch. That remains the best feature. I perform day-to-day operations with it.

I have implemented and tested multiple use cases on Trend Micro Deep Security solution for different modules, including intrusion prevention and integrity monitoring. For the anti-malware module, I have tested and observed how this product protects against any malicious or suspicious activity.

The best features Trend Micro Deep Security offers include virtual patching and comprehensive protection from multiple modules such as anti-malware, web reputation, firewall, integrity monitoring, and log inspection. It is very user-friendly, easy to understand, and helps us integrate multiple products with Deep Security.

The user-friendly aspect and integration of Trend Micro Deep Security have helped my team significantly. For example, we can integrate our SIEM  product, Active Directory, and multiple platforms. If an operations engineer cannot find something or forgets about a suspicious activity, we can identify the suspicious thing with the help of the SIEM . With Active Directory, we maintain our compliance, checking which server has Deep Security and which does not. By integrating these solutions, we effectively maintain compliance in our environment.

Trend Micro Deep Security has positively impacted our organization because we have implemented it for multiple purposes, primarily for server security. It is installed on both multiple virtual and physical servers with minimal performance impact. It has been extremely stable throughout our usage, with no major disturbances.

Trend Micro Deep Security is a good solution. I have been working on and using this product for almost four years. While it is fundamentally good, the patches are released every month; if it could remain stable for a longer time, it would be helpful instead of requiring monthly patches.

Regarding outcomes, I have noticed reduced downtime potentially due to higher utilization on the server. By adding an exception, we can minimize this type of incident. Additionally, we can track which incidents are happening through the XDR  solution.

I have been using Trend Micro Deep Security for almost four years and continue to use it.

In my current scenario with the MFS company, Trend Micro Deep Security  is used for servers protection. Our Unix system and Windows system have several services, so for the servers protection, firewall, application control and IPS, IDS, we are working to ensure this actual protection for the solution and servers.

The best features of Trend Micro Deep Security  are its protection layer and its total control of the servers. As of now, in all of the endpoint security solutions and server security solutions, only cloud-centric options exist, but for on-premises, Trend Micro Deep Security is one of the best solutions for servers.

The protection layer and total control features of Trend Micro Deep Security provide comprehensive protection. It has multiple security layers, including anti-malware, intrusion prevention, integrity monitoring, web reputation, application control, firewall, and log inspection. With a single lightweight agent, I have access to all of the protection layers. It also provides flexibility for Windows, Linux, and cloud workloads, as I am managing a hybrid infrastructure through Trend Micro Deep Security. Additionally, I benefit from centralized management, policy enforcement, monitoring, and quick response to threats. It also complies with regulatory standards such as PCI DSS, GDPR, and ISO 27001. Compared to other solutions, it's beneficial to have so many features consolidated in a single solution which is competitive with other companies.

Currently, we have the XDR  solutions on top of Trend Micro Deep Security. In XDR , I get extra deep dive knowledge and deep dive features. We see there is the root cause ability when we find out in the XDR integration feature, which is the actual Vision One XDR with Trend Micro Deep Security. It's good to have, and they have the Vision One platform, which is good for day-to-day reaching. The feature-wise implementation is good.

In the area of policy management and overall administration, Trend Micro Deep Security could improve some settings that require attention. Their UI/UX also needs improvement to make it more user-friendly. If someone is not well-versed in Trend Micro Deep Security or lacks expertise, they can't use or utilize these tools effectively. Therefore, user experience improvement is most crucial, along with enhancements in policy management and the accuracy of the IPS, IDS features for real-time protection.

It is primarily focused on the firewall policy management, and if any server is blocked through any rule, a proactive dashboard or alert would be helpful.

I am using Trend Micro Deep Security for more than five years.

Since implementing Trend Micro Deep Security, there have been some hiccups. As a new solution running in operations, I encounter everyday busy operations. During the implementation phase, some issues arise for tuning. After proper tuning the configuration, it is now good to have stability in terms of communication and other aspects. Also, there is an improvement in the security layer. Until now, I haven't faced any anti-malware threat because of all of the proactive protections available in Trend Micro Deep Security, especially in the IPS portion and virtual patching which covers various aspects.

Trend Micro Deep Security is stable.

In terms of scalability, Trend Micro Deep Security has inbuilt features such as HA options and load balancing options. Customers can also use SQL HA for their database high availability.

In terms of customer support, I think they need to exhibit more proactiveness. That is the lacking we are facing, and thus I believe they need improvement in customer support.

In my current organization, Trend Micro Deep Security is the only solution used. However, with 12 years of experience, I have used other solutions such as CrowdStrike, Trend Micro, Symantec, Kaspersky, and ESET. I possess a diverse range of experience with these products, but compared to dedicated server security, Trend Micro Deep Security is a good solution.

I evaluated and tested other solutions in my previous organizations. Here , only Trend Micro Deep Security is employed, but as I mentioned earlier, I also have experience with Kaspersky, CrowdStrike, Sophos, and Symantec among other products.

The pricing and licensing for Trend Micro Deep Security is typical; in that part, it's high, obviously, compared to other competitors. However, if I round up all of the solutions in a single package, then the pricing is medium, reflecting a medium pricing calculation.

Trend Micro Deep Security is a good solution if you consider hybrid solutions or integrate it with XDR and EDR portions. However, if you do not consider the cloud or hybrid aspects, there are limitations. As an on-prem solution, it can single-handedly resolve your problems and protect your organization and servers. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Trend Micro Deep Security a 9.

On-premises

We have many use cases. We deployed it, and we replaced Semantic with Trend Micro Deep Security  for one of our customers in the Telecom sector. Some of our customers are actually looking for Microsoft solutions because most of the endpoints and the infrastructure are Microsoft-based, so they want the platform to be the same.

We are satisfied because we have experience deploying it in a big Telecom sector that has 7,000 NPCs, and they are running different services, Microsoft, Linux-based, and some other operating systems with many applications. They remain satisfied.

At different time spans, we often required technical support. Their portal is available, or we engage with this for any technical issue or if there is any breach, so they often get help from them, and their technical team works with our teams to find out different issues.

Trend Micro Deep Security  has very good features such as virtual patching and almost all other features are the same as all the Endpoint detection and response systems are capable of doing the security features such as deep scanning, secret scanning, and the advantage of Microsoft is that it protects the cloud services as it protects the on-prem.

For threat detection, they use heuristic behavior detection, and sometimes, if they think there is a sort of attack which is new, they alert you, and they detect and show where the attack is coming from. They even suggest patching or any solution to stop that attack.

Trend Micro Deep Security is not a very cheap solution, but customers are satisfied. It's working, so every year, once they purchase it, and after a year, they renew it, or whenever the subscription expires, they renew it, unless there is any security breach.

Trend Micro Deep Security should provide a bundle solution for the customer similar to what Microsoft provides. For example, Microsoft provides ATP solution in their Defender, that not only filters the emails but also detects spam and malware in attachments, and it provides security for SharePoint  solution, Teams, and other products available on the cloud.

Most of the features are adequate. Customers are satisfied. If there are some new types of attacks which are still not identified, these vendors will improve their solutions according to the attacks.

One important improvement would be to reduce their cost. The countries which are progressing, and which have budget issues, such as third world countries or poor countries, have very limited budgets. They have to pay in dollars, and the dollar is very expensive in most countries.

We have been working with Microsoft's Trend Micro Deep Security solutions for the last 3 years.

Implementation is not complex. It has been so far good. One important aspect that should be addressed is they should try to reduce their cost.

We have different experiences. Sometimes one Endpoint Security  solution could not detect or mitigate any attack type, while the other one works adequately and sometimes, Microsoft solution doesn't work adequately for any sort of attacks. We have different sorts of experiences and responses from the customer side.

There are some minor issues, which are mostly NPC or user end issues such as when they use unwanted software or click on illegitimate or malicious links. There are issues regarding the end user, but as far as the software is concerned, we believe that software works fine until it is patched, managed, or monitored by the IT teams.

It's an enterprise company. They have many endpoints. There are more than 3,000 endpoints, but in most organizations, they are using a mix of these security solutions. They use it for comparison base, and they sometimes have budget issues, so they use it in different departments.

Support in Trend Micro Deep Security is very good. They have very professional engineers, and they often respond effectively. We are satisfied.

Positive

It's not difficult to maintain because we have experience that when the customer is trained adequately, and if they are really concerned about security, they maintain it properly. They have the IT teams, security teams to look after the server endpoints and monitor them, patch them and if there is any vulnerability or any detection found on the endpoints, they try to mitigate that.

Mostly in our country, customers are quickly migrating to the cloud. We get different sorts of requirements from the customers in different sectors, such as customers in the Banking sector have different requirements, customers in the Government sector have different requirements.

We give the comparison and demo to the customer. If the customer is interested in technical capabilities, we demonstrate the tools, setup, implementation, and their working. At the end, the customer is more interested in the cost.

We give the comparison and demo to the customer. If the customer is interested in technical capabilities, we demonstrate the tools, setup, implementation, and their working. At the end, the customer is more interested in the cost. This is the strategy. We give a fair comparison of all the products, and give them clear insights of the products, which makes it helpful for the customer to make a final decision to purchase the license or product.

If it meets the customer budget, we will recommend Trend Micro Deep Security.

We recommend them because the virtual patching is a very good feature. Customers are very satisfied, especially when there is Microsoft infrastructure. We pitch them the solution stating that if there is any security breach in the market, then this solution is capable, based on the information, it virtually patches your servers even if Microsoft has not released the real patch for that issue.

On a scale from one to ten, I would rate Trend Micro Deep Security as an eight.

Hybrid Cloud

Microsoft Azure 

Trend Micro Deep Security  provides malware threat alerts and allows me to take actions similar to how I manage endpoints like desktops and laptops. I have a dedicated console in Trend Micro Vision One to monitor servers, push policies, manage devices, and receive threat notifications. The software is integrated for managing all devices.

Trend Micro Deep Security  offers valuable features such as virtual patching, which allows me to manage server downtime challenges by taking care of threats. The configurations of the firewall and IDS rules allow me to monitor network traffic efficiently. Additionally, it provides alerts on suspicious activities, and anti-malware protection helps by detecting and mitigating threats through real-time alerts.

The user interface could be more user-friendly, as navigation sometimes requires familiarity with the console. Improving the UI is one of the desirable solutions to make it more intuitive.

I have been using Trend Micro Deep Security for more than six or seven years. It is integrated with Vision One console, Apex One for desktops and laptops, and is exclusively for my servers, including Windows and Linux servers.

I didn't face any issues with deployment. It usually takes about twenty to thirty minutes per server. I download the script based on the server operating system and run it on targeted servers for automatic deployment. The process is seamless.

Trend Micro Deep Security is very stable and provides protection at all times without issues. I rate its stability at around nine or ten.

Trend Micro Deep Security is highly scalable. There are no restrictions on the number of servers that can be included as long as the license is procured. I rate its scalability as nine.

Trend Micro provides the best support. Whenever I raise a ticket, whether critical or high priority, their team responds immediately, often over calls, and works towards closing the request with the highest priority. Their technical support is top-notch.

Neutral

For the servers, I previously used McAfee or ESET. I migrated to Trend Micro because of the group requirement for centralized protection and after evaluating solutions like Windows Defender, Sentinel , and CrowdStrike. I chose Trend Micro for its cost, support, and other important parameters.

The initial setup is easy, taking only about twenty to thirty minutes per server. I download the script, share it with the IT team, and either push the script to the centralized management console or deploy them on servers.

With the support of the local IT team, I perform the deployment. One or two people in the local IT team are sufficient, as it doesn't take much time.

I have seen a better return on investment by identifying threats early and removing them. It adds value by providing centralized control over servers and endpoints.

The pricing is moderate, not expensive or very cheap. It varies based on the number of servers being protected, with a flexible rate. The subscription varies between one-year and three-year services.

I evaluated Windows Defender, Sentinel , and CrowdStrike. After consideration, Trend Micro was chosen for its cost, support, and important parameters.

I rate Trend Micro Deep Security a nine. The user interface could be more user-friendly, allowing easier navigation. The overall solution is rated nine out of ten.
