Trend Micro
Core Protection for Virtual Machines
 
Designed specifically to secure VMware environments 
While server virtualization increases efficiency in the data center, it also challenges the 
security  of  the  IT  environment.  Traditional  security  imported  from  the  physical  world 
cannot fully protect virtual environments which are particularly vulnerable when virtual 
machines are dormant or offline as they are unable to protect themselves with a virus 
scan  agent  and  signature  updates.  Also,  resource-intensive  security  operations  such 
as  scheduled  full  system  scans  can  significantly  degrade  the  performance  of  the  host 
and  render  the  security  ineffective,  especially  when  initiated  concurrently  on  multiple 
virtual machines. To fully realize the cost and productivity advantages of virtualization, 
enterprises need content security that is architected specifically to secure today’s highly 
virtualized datacenter.  
Trend Micro
 Core Protection for Virtual Machines enables enterprises to maximize the economic 
benefits of virtualization without compromising the security of their datacenter. Specifically designed 
for VMware ESX/ESXi environments, this virtualization-aware  solution leverages the VMsafe APIs 
from VMware to secure both active and dormant virtual machines. Layered protection uses dedicated 
scanning virtual machines coordinated with real-time agents within each virtual machine.

KEY BENEFITS
 Secures virtual machines, whether  
  active or dormant
 Optimizes performance for maximize  
  uptime without compromising security
 Immunizes scan agent from disruptive  
  malware activities
 Reduces the complexity of managing  
  virtual environments
KEY FEATURES
Optimized for Virtualization
 Closes security gaps unique to virtualized  
  environments
 Protects both active and dormant virtual  
  machines with a virtualization-aware security  
  architecture 
 Improves performance profile of virtual  
  servers by running resource-intensive  
  operations such as full-system scans from  
  a separate scanning virtual machine
 Protects against the risk of VM sprawl  
  by ensuring new virtual machines are  
  automatically set up for security scanning
World-Class Malware Protection 
 Ensures that virtual machines are secure  
  when dormant and ready to go with the latest  
  pattern updates whenever activated
 Protects against malware that attempt to  
  escape detection by uninstalling, inhibiting,  
  or fraudulently patching antivirus security
 Provides an extra layer of immunity by running  
  the scanning agent on a separate virtual  
  machine than the machine being scanned 
Simplified Management
 Integrates tightly with the VMware management  
  infrastructure, reducing the complexity of  
  managing security within virtual environments
 Continuously synchronizes with the VMware  
  vCenter management console to stay on top  
  of virtual machine dynamics
 Automatically sets up new virtual machines  
  for security scanning to better manage virtual  
  machine sprawl
 Manages scanning and pattern updates for  
  dormant virtual machines without requiring  
  them to be activated
 Optimizes performance-intensive full-system  
  scans without any reconfiguration
