Our company has around 50 critical servers that need advanced security beyond our existing endpoint protection. We were looking for a dedicated server security solution that could protect against attacks specific to server operating systems and MITRE ATT&CK techniques, while also being lightweight so it wouldn't impact the performance of other applications running on the servers. Trend Micro Vision One - Cloud Security seemed to meet all these requirements.
Our previous security solution struggled to identify and resolve malware, leaving our production servers vulnerable. Frequent reboot requests, high memory usage, and increased BCP utilization choked system performance. To address these issues, we deployed Trend Micro Vision One - Cloud Security. This solution effectively protects against malware, ransomware, and other threats.
Our current security solution covers server protection, endpoint security with mobile device management capabilities on occasion, and some data loss prevention features. Everything enters our endpoint security followed by our server security, which includes our cloud environments.
Trend Cloud One simplifies data analysis by providing context, offers user-friendly management and features, and assists with web application security projects by identifying threats and suggesting solutions. This was especially helpful for our tight deadlines, allowing us to quickly find the right solution. The platform's modular design lets us choose and manage additional features from a single dashboard, like workload security which includes container security, file security, and open source security, all of which we plan to utilize in the near future.
Trend Cloud One provides security for all cloud workloads.
Trend Vision One simplifies security management by offering a unified platform. It streamlines log analysis, providing better visibility into the root cause of attacks. When an attack is blocked, the system pinpoints the origin, the internet to the on-premises server, and the triggered service. User-friendly logs and clear statistics further simplify security tasks.
It provides full visibility and control of our cloud environments.
While our organization doesn't currently have compliance requirements, Trend Vision One itself adheres to various US and Asian compliance standards. This future-proofs our implementation in case we need to comply with regulations down the road.
Trend Vision One's comprehensive visibility and control over our cloud environment frees us up for high-value projects. This is especially true for security experts, as most tasks are automated and the included, fully-managed XDR service significantly reduces the daily workload required to manage our entire security portfolio and respond to threats.
Cloud One provides a full view of our cloud environment, including cloud security posture, overall architecture, and visibility down to the container level. This unified view helps identify and fix misconfigurations. It achieves this by combining Cloud Security Posture Management capabilities with Container Native Application Protection functionalities. The CNAP features provide a dashboard highlighting configuration issues and their compliance implications with regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, NIST, and PCI DSS. This allows us to ensure our cloud configurations are aligned with relevant compliance standards.
Trend Vision One - Cloud Security helps protect all data in the Cloud and on-premises.
Trend Vision One goes beyond standard endpoint security by offering a dedicated IPS mechanism with a unique, separate database for servers, along with a large feature set specifically designed for server environments.
Despite previously relying on on-premise technology, migrating to the cloud-based SaaS offering was surprisingly straightforward. The process required a simple procedure on our on-premise server, but overall, it went smoothly on a single agent with no major complications.
Trend Vision One offers good integration across email, network, and cloud workloads, but it currently lacks a dedicated data security feature. While it provides some data protection within its security framework, it doesn't allow users to customize policies or create their own for specific needs. If Trend Micro could integrate a customizable data security solution into Vision One's endpoint security offerings, it would create a one-stop shop for both endpoint and data protection.
The stability has room for improvement.
I have been using Trend Vision One - Cloud Security for two and a half years.
While Trend Vision One - Cloud Security is fairly stable, I'd rate it a seven out of ten. It does have occasional issues requiring updates or patches, which can be inconvenient.
Since Vision One now is a cloud-based solution, it has scalable functions, and it's very agile as well.
We are satisfied with the technical support we receive.
In the past, our fully cloud-based security solution lacked on-premises deployment options. This meant systems reliant on our internal network weren't protected. Since migrating to Trend Micro, we can now leverage their Service Gateway for on-premises deployment. This gateway facilitates connection and security updates for offline systems within our Vision platform, extending protection to even remote locations.
Due to the critical nature of all our servers, even a minor configuration change could have impacted our security posture. Therefore, we prioritized a slow and meticulous approach to the 30-day deployment process to ensure everything was implemented safely and effectively.
Four people were involved in the deployment.
Our efforts resulted in a positive return on investment, both in terms of strengthening our technical capabilities and securing additional projects.
While Trend Vision One - Cloud Security was a cost-effective solution for us in 2021, we've noticed a recent price increase that makes it less affordable.
I would rate Trend Vision One - Cloud Security seven out of ten.
Trend Vision One requires minor maintenance.
