These expanded services help secure cloud architectures combined with centralized management and protection controls to guard against data loss and advanced malware within Microsoft’s existing infrastructure.
“Our history with Microsoft runs deep, and our approach to providing customers with sound security-enhanced changes†will help users achieve the full benefits and ROI the cloud has to offer,” says Partha Panda, vice president, global channels, and strategic alliances, Trend Micro. “This complementary approach to security will help enable Microsoft partners to address their customers’ concerns so they can more effectively close deals.”

These centrally managed solutions will be available as part of the Trend Micro Smart Protection Complete suite. These security offerings deliver protection at endpoint, application, and network levels to thwart attacks such as Citadel, Luuuk, SpyEye, and ZeuS, according to Trend Micro. The suite enables organizations to tailor their defense based on their unique business requirements with on-premises, cloud, and hybrid deployment models that fit IT environments as they transition to the cloud.
