To further facilitate the delivery of security with a broad range of IT
services, Trend
Micro Incorporated (TYO:
4704; TSE:
4704), a global leader in security software and solutions, today
launched the Trend Micro Partner Program for Cloud Service Providers
(CSP). The new program enables partners with consumption-based pricing,
to take advantage of Trend Micro’s market-leading Deep Security solution
that is integrated with cloud offerings from AWS, Microsoft Azure,
VMware vCloud Air, IBM Cloud or a CSP’s own public cloud.
“This program enables partners to more quickly and fully capitalize on
the growing demand for cloud security with pricing that supports the
‘instant-on’ nature of the cloud, and a broad range of business models,”
said Partha Panda, vice president, global channels and strategic
alliances, Trend Micro. “Regardless of which cloud their customers are
using, Trend Micro provides CSPs with comprehensive security as part of
the provider’s stack in an integrated sales motion that is easy to
deploy, manage and bill, ensuring the right policies are automatically
applied to each instance the moment it’s activated.”
As a leading provider of server security for physical, virtual and cloud
environments, Trend Micro enables CSP partners, including Aquilent,
Cloudnexa, Dedalus, Nordcloud, and Smartronix, to address essential
security and compliance requirements for customers adopting the cloud,
while expanding the scope of their services revenue to strengthen their
bottom line.1 The program focuses on the Trend
Micro Deep Security solution which complements and extends the
security available through public cloud offerings.
Additional benefits of the program include competitive financial and
technical advantages to help partners grow their business.
“Together, we deliver on a shared responsibility security model –
Microsoft provides a secure infrastructure, and Trend Micro protects the
data that is put on the cloud,” said Nicole Herskowitz, Senior Director
Product Marketing, Microsoft Azure. “Trend Micro is a Microsoft Cloud OS
Network Partner, and their Deep Security solution is seamlessly
integrated through APIs, so security is transparent to our clients. For
Cloud Service Providers, this means that they can add security to their
service offerings, which increases their business opportunities, while
meeting the security needs of their Azure clients.”
Providers will have access to certification and product training through
the Trend Micro partner program, in addition to 24x7 priority support.
Participants will also be equipped with sales and marketing programs, as
well as educational and support resources, including a sales library of
product data sheets, customizable customer presentations, success
stories and videos, through the Trend Micro Partner Portal.
“The shared responsibility security model in the cloud leaves customers
responsible for protecting their data, applications and operating
systems,” said Kevin Rhone, senior partnering consultant at ESG.
“Security, as a result, should become an integral part of every CSP’s
portfolio. The benefits of the Trend Micro Partner Program for Cloud
Service Providers make it easy for CSPs to seamlessly deliver security
as a value-add to their service offerings. They should seize this
opportunity.”
