Trend Micro Enterprise Security Compliance
PCI DSS and Trend Micro Enterprise Security

Targeted threats, distributed environments, and evolving technology make it especially challenging to achieve and maintain compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). Yet, as important as it is, compliance alone is not enough to minimize your true risk. That’s where Trend Micro comes in.
Our unique solutions help you address key challenges to PCI compliance and PAN security including virtualization and cloud-computing, worker mobility, branch/POS security, and data encryption. See how our layered approach to content security can help ensure compliance and safeguard your customers, your employees, and your business.

PCI Concerns:
Addressing Today’s Top PCI Concerns
Achieving and maintaining PCI compliance and true security requires constant evaluation of the potential impact of evolving threats, employee behavior, and new business and technology initiatives. Trend Micro offers you unique and cost-effective solutions to address today’s top PCI challenges.
| Challenges | ||
|---|---|---|
| Business or Technology Driver | PCI Challenge | Trend Micro Solution |
| Virtualization | Virtualization allows for cost efficient and flexible datacenters and paves a path toward integrated cloud computing. But the complexity and fluidity of virtual environments pose special challenges, rendering traditional network security implementations for IPS, firewalls, and antivirus ineffective in preventing attacks on virtual servers that process or host cardholder data. | Trend Micro™ Deep Security provides advanced software-based security that protects physical, virtual and cloud-based servers with integrated IPS, firewall, configuration validation and more. Trend Micro™ Core Protection for Virtual Machines is designed specifically to meet the unique needs of the virtual environment with automated protection against malware. |
| Effective Data Protection | Traditional data loss prevention and data encryption solutions are complex and cumbersome to manage and use. | Trend Micro Data Protection solutions protect and encrypt PAN data wherever it resides and enable secure collaboration without end-user actions or usability limitations. |
| Worker Mobility | Mobile laptops and PDAs are at risk for inbound attacks and cardholder data loss, but network security solutions are ineffective in these cases. | Trend Micro OfficeScan™ endpoint protection and web reputation technology keep your employee devices protected from malware both on and off the corporate network. |
| IT Risk Management | Despite robust security measures, targeted and zero-day threats can penetrate even the most security-conscious organizations and threaten cardholder data security. | Trend Micro Vulnerability Management Services provides a SaaS-based suite of services which automate vulnerability, security, and compliance management across both internal and externally facing IT assets.
Trend Micro™ Threat Management Services provides network threat discovery and remediation services that detect and remove these evasive threats and continuously ensure your security posture. Deep Security delivers protection from zero-day threats and enables virtual patching to establish immediate protection for ‘un-patched’ or ‘un-patchable’ systems. |
| Controlling Cost and Complexity | According to Information Week, management complexity is the number one issue in security. With distributed environments, multiple point products and constant security signature updates, the cost and complexity of PCI compliance and secure operations is skyrocketing. | Trend Micro Enterprise Security and Smart Protection Network™ change the game by greatly simplifying security management and reducing resource requirements. We offer the breadth of solutions—including Software As A Service (SaaS) and virtualized appliances—that will allow you to reduce vendors, consolidate security and systems management, and cost effectively secure corporate and branch/POS (Point of Sale) environments. |
| Setting Your Budget Priorities | Rapidly achieving complete PCI compliance is difficult and costly. The PCI Council has issued a 6-step “prioritized approach” whitepaper which offers guidance on a risk-based prioritized compliance roadmap. | Trend Micro OfficeScan, Deep Security, and Messaging Security products each address many of the top-tier priorities cited by the PCI Council. |
