Trend Micro Deep Security Primary Use Case
MS
Usman-Khalid
Manager, Technical Microsoft at a computer software company with 201-500 employees
We have many use cases. We deployed it, and we replaced Semantic with Trend Micro Deep Security for one of our customers in the Telecom sector. Some of our customers are actually looking for Microsoft solutions because most of the endpoints and the infrastructure are Microsoft-based, so they want the platform to be the same.
We are satisfied because we have experience deploying it in a big Telecom sector that has 7,000 NPCs, and they are running different services, Microsoft, Linux-based, and some other operating systems with many applications. They remain satisfied.
At different time spans, we often required technical support. Their portal is available, or we engage with this for any technical issue or if there is any breach, so they often get help from them, and their technical team works with our teams to find out different issues.

Trend Micro Deep Security provides malware threat alerts and allows me to take actions similar to how I manage endpoints like desktops and laptops. I have a dedicated console in Trend Micro Vision One to monitor servers, push policies, manage devices, and receive threat notifications. The software is integrated for managing all devices.

Our company uses Trend Micro Deep Security as a conventional IPS and for malware detection. The solution is also used for real-time monitoring and to evaluate the monitoring impact on the system. The solution's impact or consumption of memory can also be checked. Trend Micro Deep Security is compatible with various platforms, such as Windows and UNIX.
View full review »For the servers, they have Deep Security. Plus, they have introduced a new feature, which is threat assessment for networking. And that is the one product that we are actually promoting right now more than anything else in their portfolio.
Normally, customers use it to secure their servers. Especially when it comes to updates for our enterprise clients and any client who has more than 10 or 20 servers, it's very hard for them to have downtime to install all the patches, check them, test them, and then run them.
Trend Micro Deep Security is a very good solution for them because it stops all the vulnerabilities and exploits in the server. It downloads all the upcoming updates and gives you a time of your choice when you want to have downtime, maybe over the weekend. Then you can download all the updates, which have been tested on the Trend Micro site, and freely install them on your servers. Then you can bring the servers back up for working.
So in that sense, they save a lot of time in downloading and installing updates, while at the same time protecting the servers from all the vulnerabilities and exploits.

My company suggests Trend Micro Deep Security to our clients for server maintenance, and the customers can move a lot of servers in their environment with lesser hiccups. Our client uses around 10,000 servers, so we suggested they use Trend Micro Deep Security, a server support-based tool. Apex One and Apex Central are designed for laptops and desktops.

View full review »I use the solution in my company to reduce SMB attacks on the data center site and ensure data center protection from flooding and threats.
We were using Trend Micro Deep Security for the sole purpose of virtual cloud management. It was the best VPM solution in the market, and other sites recognize the quality, such as the Gartner website.
View full review »We use Trend Micro Deep Security for servers and not for endpoints. So when it comes to the server, the key feature or reason why we went for Deep Security is because of its virtual patching. Usually, the server owners don't tend to keep their servers updated with the latest Microsoft patches. Trend Micro Deep Security provides a layer of security and virtual patching. So even if the server is not patched manually, it ensures that it is protected through this virtual VM.

View full review »In our company, all critical systems are connected to a Security Operation Center (SOC), and we use Trend Micro Deep Security on these servers. Our company is in the manufacturing industry, dealing with metals and mining processes, and many of our solutions are hosted on public IP and accessed from outside organizations' networks. Installing Trend Micro Deep Security helps us prevent ransomware attacks and other unauthorized access attempts. Since we are connected to SOC, we receive detailed information on any attempts to penetrate our systems from outside, apart from just letting us know if there are any vulnerabilities or not. Additionally, Trend Micro Deep Security provides features like sandboxing. However, we have not been able to utilize these features fully.
Since I wanted to know the additional features that Trend Micro Deep Security offers beyond what we currently use in our solution, I was trying to find a comparison between Trend Micro Deep Security and Trend Micro Apex One.

We are using Deep Security specifically for virtual patching of the virtual disks. The average customer for this is typically a government agency, and they're employing it on critical servers and services. It is usually on a database server, especially a purpose-built aggregation server. Unlike a web server or something like that, these servers aren't generally publicly connected. We have about 20 Deep Security customers, including most of the bigger banks.
I am a manager for a non-profit and use this solution for its antivirus capabilities.

Our primary use case of Deep Security is running our server smoothly and without any security flaws. The server-level layers have more functionality when compared to desktop-level layers, so Deep Security captures and fulfills all of that functionality and runs smoothly. At the end of the day, Deep Security is also getting the zero-day vulnerabilities from our on-premise and other solutions.
This solution is deployed on-premise, and we are using the latest version.
