Trend Micro Deep Security allows server compliance across the historic NIST
800-53 recommended security controls.

CUPERTINO, Calif., Sept. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Trend Micro, in support of the
federal government's effort to build a unified information security framework
for both national and non-national security cyber systems, announced today
that the Trend Micro(TM) Deep Security(TM) solution helps comply with the
recently recommended security controls published by the National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST).

The recently updated document, NIST Special Publication 800-53, Recommended
Security Controls for Federal Information Systems and Organizations, outlines
best practices in information security from United States Department of
Defense, Intelligence Community, and Civil agencies, and provides a broad and
comprehensive set of safeguards and countermeasures for information technology
systems.

IT departments of government agencies can include Trend Micro Deep Security,
which is designed to help with compliance with the security controls
recommended in the NIST 800-53 report, as a key component of their security
strategy. Trend Micro Deep Security is an advanced, host-based intrusion
defense system that brings proven network security controls, including
firewall and intrusion detection and prevention, down to individual networked
computers and devices servers, including virtual machines.

Trend Micro Deep Security for server and application protection helps
government agencies to comply with the NIST recommended security controls in
the following areas:

-- Access control
-- Audit and Accountability
-- Certification accreditation
-- Identification and Authentication
-- Incident response
-- Risk Assessment
-- System and communications protection

-- System and information integrity



"Trend Micro Deep Security enables federal agencies to leverage cloud
computing with the assurance that comes from certification for Evaluation
Assurance Level 3 Augmented (EAL 3+). The security levels this brings for the
virtual environment -- including VMware(TM) VMsafe(TM) integration --
addresses a gaping hole in current Access Control and IA tools for the virtual
computing environment. This is the only NIAP/EAL 3+ certified solution for
that large segment of the federal infrastructure. This solution reiterates our
choice of Trend Micro since 1998 as the leading technology company in the
security/IA space for the federal government," said Robert Deitz, CEO of
Government Technology Solutions, a Trend Micro solution partner focusing on
government markets.

"With cybercrime on the rise and computer espionage becoming a dark reality,
the U.S. government is making some challenging decisions in defending its
computer networks," said Darren Blank vice president of North America, Trend
Micro. "Trend Micro Deep Security, in support of the NIST 800-53
recommendations, provides greater protection for government and non-government
agencies against cyber attacks."
