Trend Micro Core Protection for Virtual Machines - license

While server virtualization increases efficiency in the data center, it also challenges the security of the IT environment. Traditional security imported from the physical world cannot fully protect virtual environments which are particularly vulnerable when virtual machines are dormant or offline as they are unable to protect themselves with a virus scan agent and signature updates. Also, resource-intensive security operations such as scheduled full system scans can significantly degrade the performance of the host and render the security ineffective, especially when initiated concurrently on multiple virtual machines. To fully realize the cost and productivity advantages of virtualization, enterprises need content security that is architected specifically to secure today's highly virtualized datacenter.

Trend Micro Core Protection for Virtual Machines enables enterprises to maximize the economic benefits of virtualization without compromising the security of their datacenter. Specifically designed for VMware ESX/ESXi environments, this virtualization-aware solution leverages the VMsafe APIs from VMware to secure both active and dormant virtual machines. Layered protection uses dedicated scanning virtual machines coordinated with real-time agents within each virtual machine.
