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.

Virtual patching has protected critical workloads and reduced downtime across financial environments
The best features Trend Micro Deep Security offers include virtual patching and comprehensive protection from multiple modules such as anti-malware, web reputation, firewall, integrity monitoring, and log inspection. It is very user-friendly, easy to understand, and helps us integrate multiple products with Deep Security. The user-friendly aspect and integration of Trend Micro Deep Security have helped my team significantly. For example, we can integrate our SIEM product, Active Directory, and multiple platforms. If an operations engineer cannot find something or forgets about a suspicious activity, we can identify the suspicious thing with the help of the SIEM. With Active Directory, we maintain our compliance, checking which server has Deep Security and which does not. By integrating these solutions, we effectively maintain compliance in our environment. Trend Micro Deep Security has positively impacted our organization because we have implemented it for multiple purposes, primarily for server security. It is installed on both multiple virtual and physical servers with minimal performance impact. It has been extremely stable throughout our usage, with no major disturbances.

Pros

"It helps with DDoS defense and OWASP for SQL injections and cross-site scripting."
"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."
"This solution is a bot management tool that provides extensive capabilities for Cloud Armor."
"The main benefit it provides us is that it will show what the issues might be and it's scalable."
"One of the most valuable features is that it's a firewall-based solution. We just open the required reports to the server—to server communication—and that's how we use Deep Security."
"Patch management is most valuable. The major selling point of Deep Security is that it is based on the cloud."
"Trend Micro provides the best support."
"Trend Micro was selected because it has better whitelisting of applications, its intrusion detection was far superior, and it has configurability."
"Not only do these benefits reduce both capital and operational expenditures, but they also provide resource agility that promotes business innovation and growth."
"The most valuable features of the solution we have enabled in our organization are its anti-malware capabilities, applications, web reputation, and integrity monitoring."
"From a security point of view, it has been performing very well against our malware and vulnerabilities that are now in the market."
 

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."
"Trend Micro can interact with their consultant to ensure that we receive constant training to understand their platform and how to improve it."
"Installation and operations may have issues on some machines owing to their configuration of the network cards as the product is a DPI driver."
"New patterns need improvement, as some new data access points are challenging to investigate and allow entry without detection."
"It would be helpful if they could send emails notifying their users about the recommended upgraded versions to address the newly discovered vulnerabilities."
"The implementation can be inflexible and not easy, as it requires knowledge of things like virtualization and administration on Windows."
"They need to improve their perimeter detection and tenancy."
"Sometimes, the product is not very stable, but it is something that depends on the infrastructure in which the tool is used."
"Some of our customers complain about the cost of this solution."
 

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."
"If you need an additional 10 or 20 licenses, you will need to pay additional fees."
"We did not purchase it through the AWS Marketplace because we have used Trend Micro in the past."
"Purchasing this solution through the AWS Marketplace was secure and quick. AWS has good prices for a good product."
"Most of it is annual at this stage."
"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."
"The product has a high price in Kuwait."
"We pay a yearly fee of between $10,000 and $15,000."
"If you want to scale the solution you will have to adjust the license."
