Bot management tool enhances defense capabilities against DDoS and SQL injections
This solution is a bot management tool that provides extensive capabilities for Cloud Armor. It helps with DDoS defense and OWASP for SQL injections and cross-site scripting. We can rewrite these rule sets for DDoS protection. Integration with Cisco WAF is possible. It is scalable and integrates with Google's Kubernetes for easier scaling processes. It includes AI features like auditing and logging for troubleshooting.

Security controls have protected servers from advanced attacks and now simplify daily monitoring
The best feature of Trend Micro Deep Security is Application Control, where we can put it in lockdown mode, and applications that are already applied or installed will be executed, while new ones will be blocked automatically. Trend Micro Deep Security is an advanced threat protection product that helps our servers prevent upcoming attacks and also logs inspections and firewall preventions, helping our servers in daily life by protecting them from advanced cyber attacks. With the help of Application Control, we first scan the inventory of our applications that are installed on the server. After that, we get a scanned and checked inventory where all the executable files of the servers are present with the help of hashes. By putting application control in lockdown mode, all the applications that pre-exist in the file will execute at any time. However, when a new file or new update comes to the server, it will be denied due to the lockdown policy. If any attack comes, the new hashes will be found and blocked, making it a very good feature of Trend Micro Deep Security.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"This solution is a bot management tool that provides extensive capabilities for Cloud Armor."
"We utilize Google Cloud Armor alongside our Cloud Load Balancer to safeguard against DDoS attacks. This setup acts as a local Layer 7 proxy provided by Google, allowing us to predict and mitigate DDoS threats effectively."
"It helps with DDoS defense and OWASP for SQL injections and cross-site scripting."
"There is a degree of set it and forget it in regards to the actual endpoints and what you can do with the console, which is nice."
"If you need a versatile solution that covers many different needs or requirements, Trend Micro Deep Security is very good."
"Virtual patching stands out as the best feature Trend Micro Deep Security offers, allowing us to virtually patch servers without downtime, which is critical given our limited patching windows, and helps prevent servers from being exploited."
"After implementing it for one client, that client felt happy due to the many new modules available, I explained these to them and implemented them, which made the client feel their servers were secured using Trend Micro Deep Security."
"You can scale the solution to different versions."
"The most valuable features of the solution we have enabled in our organization are its anti-malware capabilities, applications, web reputation, and integrity monitoring."
"It's easy to use and the interface is simple."
"Support is very good. There is a portal where you can go to raise support tickets, and there are three phone numbers that we can use to reach support. We also have been assigned a technical account manager to who we can reach out to with anything critical."
 

Cons

"I believe Google Cloud Armor can benefit from enhancements of AI and automation."
"There are some discrepancies within billing, which makes the product average."
"AWS products could become more compatible with intrusion detection products leveraging help from Trend Micro."
"Trend Micro's technical support sometimes takes too long to respond, although they respond quickly at other times. Additionally, the product is overpriced, which makes it difficult to sell to many customers."
"Post-implementation is time-consuming. You have to do monitoring, and that takes time. After you set up everything, it's not a full-fledged implementation. You have to keep on monitoring and configuring."
"The email relays and proxies could be improved."
"Pricing is on the expensive side and could be more affordable. The technical support for Trend Micro Deep Security also needs improvement."
"One problem with this kind of products is scaling."
"While it is fundamentally good, the patches are released every month; if it could remain stable for a longer time, it would be helpful instead of requiring monthly patches."
"I would like to see a retroactive alert. If it had the capability of generating retroactive alerts it would be helpful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the pricing of Google Cloud Armor around 7 on a scale of 10. As for the licensing costs, I'm not directly involved in billing, so I don't have specific details on that aspect. We have a partner agreement with Google, which gives us a discounted price for using Cloud Armor."
"Our company chose to procure this product via AWS Marketplace due to regulatory requirements. We mostly use it in the AWS GovCloud."
"The AWS licensing model is scalable and easy to use, but could do with tiered discounts. I am not sure how well this model will scale when we start to use Auto Scaling with AWS resources."
"If you need an additional 10 or 20 licenses, you will need to pay additional fees."
"On an AWS defined scope, it will cheaper than buying the on-premise service. We did a trial for the on-premise version, but we decided to go with the AWS version. We are downsizing our server room, and it didn't make sense to put more machines in there."
"Purchasing on the AWS Marketplace is like shopping on Amazon Prime."
"The cost is approximately six thousand Qatari Riyal ($1650 USD) per user."
"We need to make yearly payments for the solution's licensing. There are different pricing models, like subscription-based and perpetual."
"It is a very expensive solution. It would be nice if they lower its price. Its license is based on the machines."
