14 DAY TRIAL // World-renowned security solutions provider Trend Micro has launched a new security-as-a-service solution called Web App Security. The new offering allows organizations to make sure that their web applications and the platforms they’re deployed on are properly protected against cyber threats.
Part of Trend Micro’s Cloud and Data Center Security Solution, the service can be calibrated to the specific needs of all applications. It also includes the ability to issue unlimited Trend Micro SSL certificates.
In addition to detecting web app vulnerabilities, the solution also checks for malware and web reputation.
The automatic protection mechanisms integrated into Trend Micro Web App Security are powered by web application firewalls.
The security firm is confident that the number of false positives can be kept at a minimum, allowing organizations to focus on actual areas of concern, such as compliance auditor for regulations like HIPAA and PCI.
“For organizations that face rigorous regulations, such as HIPAA in the health care environment, securing data is essential,” said Carl Minear, administrative director of technology infrastructure, Florida Hospital.
“Ensuring that our information is safe when made accessible through a Web application can be a security and cost challenge, but Trend Micro provides effective and affordable security for all of our sensitive clinical applications through a single, integrated offering.”
It’s also worth noting that Web App Security is partly powered by a couple of technologies recently acquired by Trend Micro. The detection functionality comes from IndusGuard from Indusface, and the SSL component stems from the acquisition of AffirmTrust.
“As attacks grow in sophistication and volume, our team is working diligently to ensure that customers are ready,” said Kevin Simzer, senior vice president, marketing and business development, Trend Micro.
“Providing comprehensive detection and protection capabilities through a scalable cloud service helps to set Trend Micro apart from traditional offerings. Organizations deploying Web App Security are able to benefit from proven security combined with a compelling package of cost-effective detection, protection and SSL certificates.”
Web App Security is currently available only in North America. The solution will be rolled out globally next year.
