With the new protection model, organizations gain context-rich insights across legacy and native cloud workload environments with one click, freeing up security teams to focus on more critical issues. This innovation, named Trend Micro Cloud Sentry, lets security teams manage a single deployment per AWS account regardless of how resources are deployed or updated.

Kevin Simzer, COO, Trend Micro said, “Changing the game for cloud security is simply a byproduct of working so closely with our customers through their cloud transformation journeys, which pushes our continued product innovation. Visibility decreases and friction increases as businesses adopt new cloud technologies. Customers asked us to level the playing field, so we’ve provided a visibility solution that doesn’t impact production.”

Additionally, security teams are better enabled to work seamlessly with developer teams using risk management and threat intelligence data to inform security priorities and explain the need for changes.

Cloud Sentry is available for preview customers today with integrity monitoring and anti-malware security controls, protecting EC2 instances, ECR images and Lambda functions. Vulnerability scanning, log inspection, and additional storage support are planned for the near future.
