Bot management tool enhances defense capabilities against DDoS and SQL injections
This solution is a bot management tool that provides extensive capabilities for Cloud Armor. It helps with DDoS defense and OWASP for SQL injections and cross-site scripting. We can rewrite these rule sets for DDoS protection. Integration with Cisco WAF is possible. It is scalable and integrates with Google's Kubernetes for easier scaling processes. It includes AI features like auditing and logging for troubleshooting.

Security controls have protected servers from advanced attacks and now simplify daily monitoring
The best feature of Trend Micro Deep Security is Application Control, where we can put it in lockdown mode, and applications that are already applied or installed will be executed, while new ones will be blocked automatically. Trend Micro Deep Security is an advanced threat protection product that helps our servers prevent upcoming attacks and also logs inspections and firewall preventions, helping our servers in daily life by protecting them from advanced cyber attacks. With the help of Application Control, we first scan the inventory of our applications that are installed on the server. After that, we get a scanned and checked inventory where all the executable files of the servers are present with the help of hashes. By putting application control in lockdown mode, all the applications that pre-exist in the file will execute at any time. However, when a new file or new update comes to the server, it will be denied due to the lockdown policy. If any attack comes, the new hashes will be found and blocked, making it a very good feature of Trend Micro Deep Security.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It helps with DDoS defense and OWASP for SQL injections and cross-site scripting."
"We utilize Google Cloud Armor alongside our Cloud Load Balancer to safeguard against DDoS attacks. This setup acts as a local Layer 7 proxy provided by Google, allowing us to predict and mitigate DDoS threats effectively."
"This solution is a bot management tool that provides extensive capabilities for Cloud Armor."
"In terms of valuable features, I would say its intrusion prevention. Each and every IP connecting to the server gets scanned so we know everyone who is accessing our server and we can block whichever IP's do not belong to us at the firewall."
"It can scale well."
"It provides the type of data and availability that we need to have. We don't have to worry about intrusions."
"Deep Security provides us with a lot of reassurance about security threats; you don't have to worry about a patch not being there in the software, and you're confident that all the patches and vulnerabilities are taken care of."
"Support in Trend Micro Deep Security is very good. They have very professional engineers, and they often respond effectively. We are satisfied."
"It is well-suited for state government customers who require a complete sense of security."
"If someone is looking to implement security solutions, including endpoint security, then I would suggest that person go for the whole Trend Micro suite, not just for the endpoint security."
"Patch management is most valuable. The major selling point of Deep Security is that it is based on the cloud. Deep Security is for the servers and databases of data centers, and generally, for patch management, you have to shut down the machines, and then you have to restart them. So, they need shutdown time, which is a cost. Big enterprises don't want to shut down their database or their data center for any kind of patch. Deep Security creates a wall and downloads all patches. You install it on the cloud. So, it saves your server from any kind of intrusion or any kind of penetration, and whenever you get a chance or time, in six, eight, or nine months, you can physically download or install all those patches in one go. So, it saves you time. It also saves your shutdown time and keeps your data center safe."
 

Cons

"I believe Google Cloud Armor can benefit from enhancements of AI and automation."
"There are some discrepancies within billing, which makes the product average."
"Trend Micro's technical support sometimes takes too long to respond, although they respond quickly at other times. Additionally, the product is overpriced, which makes it difficult to sell to many customers."
"The default reports provided don't provide much insight."
"I would like to see XDR features and endpoint sensors become available."
"There's a little room for improvement as far as being more concise with the error messages."
"Technical support has been below expectations. They don't seem to be as helpful or responsive as we need them to be."
"There are several areas for improvement: The ability to manage agent-based AV (i.e. integrate Officescan into Deep Security) for desktops and laptops; streamline the install (specifically configuring of external product requirements, i.e. the VMware side); and better integration with Control Manager (had a few issues with it not recognizing the DS server)."
"The licensing structure could improve."
"The support for email protection can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the pricing of Google Cloud Armor around 7 on a scale of 10. As for the licensing costs, I'm not directly involved in billing, so I don't have specific details on that aspect. We have a partner agreement with Google, which gives us a discounted price for using Cloud Armor."
"We are paying approximately $50,000 each month, it's definitely expensive."
"Purchasing on the AWS Marketplace was easy. We decided to purchase this solution on the AWS Marketplace since we were already there."
"We did not purchase it through the AWS Marketplace because we have used Trend Micro in the past."
"It's more expensive than other solutions, such as Sophos and Kaspersky, as an endpoint solution."
"It is a very expensive solution. It would be nice if they lower its price. Its license is based on the machines."
"The price of Trend Micro Deep Security could be less expensive."
"From a pricing perspective, I would say the product is economical...The payments are made on a yearly basis towards the licensing of the solution."
"If you need an additional 10 or 20 licenses, you will need to pay additional fees."
