Comprehensive cloud security services optimize protection without slowing DevOps
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 20 January 2021 – Trend Micro
Incorporated
(TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), the leader in cloud security, today
announced its advanced container security solution Cloud One — Container Security. Designed to ease the security
of container builds, deployments and runtime workflows, the new service helps
developers accelerate innovation and minimize application downtime across their
Kubernetes environments, from a single tool.
This
new service is an important addition to Trend Micro’s Cloud One services
platform that was introduced last year. As IDC stated,
“Trend Micro launched Cloud One, its integrated cloud security services (SaaS)
platform that addresses customers’ security challenges around datacenter
servers and virtual machines, IaaS workloads, containers and containers services, cloud security posture
management, cloud file and object storage services, and serverless.” 1
Global
organizations are increasingly leveraging containers to accelerate cloud
migration, rearchitect monolithic applications and build and integrate seamless
cloud native applications. This can create security gaps that traditional
network and endpoint tools are not capable of addressing.
“Containers
are helping teams innovate faster by simplifying development and deployment. To
safely keep this pace, teams needs to integrate security practices more easily
in the container lifecycle,” said Mark Nunnikhoven, vice president of Cloud
Research at Trend Micro. “That’s where this new service comes into play
perfectly. It provides automated continuous protection at three critical stages
of the container lifecycle; build, deploy, and run.”
Trend
Micro Cloud One – Container Security offers three main elements:
Container
image scanning
This
scans at build time for the earliest possible detection and lowest cost
remediation. In addition, through partnership with Snyk there is a scan against
the market leading open source vulnerability database. This provides early
detection and mitigation of vulnerabilities in third-party code dependencies.
Cloud One — Container Security will:
- Look for vulnerabilities in the packages included in the container
- Detect malware using signatures and advanced machine learning
techniques - Find embedded secrets such as passwords, API tokens, or license
keys - Sweep for IoCs using industry-standard Yara rules
Policy-based
deployment control
Container
security enables you to create policies that allow or block deployments based
on set rules. Native integration with Kubernetes ensures that all deployments
run in a production environment are safe.
Cloud-native
runtime security
Once
an image has been deemed safe and is deployed into production, Cloud One
Container Security will protect the container in the runtime environment. This
offers ongoing vulnerability detection for the containerized application and
provides relevant feedback to security and DevOps teams in case further action
is needed.
