Trend Micro Threat Intelligence and Citrix NetScaler Enable Faster, Stronger and More Secure Cloud Services
Citrix Ready, integrated solution delivers anti-malware protection including web reputation to high-volume, high-risk, cloud-based services.
BARCELONA, Spain, Oct. 26, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Citrix SynergyTrend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), the number one market leader in serverand virtualization security, today announced an integrated solution that enables customers of Citrix® NetScaler®( )to overcome the challenges posed by web threats impacting cloud-based services and applications. NetScaler is an industry-leading networking platform designed from the ground up to serve as a "service delivery fabric" for virtual datacenters and clouds. When combined and deployed with Trend Micro(TM) InterScan(TM) Web Security Appliance, NetScaler can deliver extremely high volumes of cloud-services while providing strong defenses, all without impeding user experience.
NetScaler provides a best-in-class service delivery platform including a variety of application and network acceleration features that make it possible to deliver high-volume cloud-based services. However, these services may be subjected to attacks such as phishing, viruses, spyware and other malware. InterScan Web Security lets businesses scan traffic at the corporate network gateway, quickly identifying risky web behaviors before they can lead to vulnerability-based attacks.
InterScan Web-Security Appliance is verified as Citrix Ready following completion of a rigorous verification process to ensure compatibility with NetScaler. Both NetScaler and InterScan products are available as virtual appliances, so that the joint solution can be easily, rapidly, and cost-effectively scaled without requiring the purchase of additional physical devices or servers.
The combined, integrated solution is currently deployed to support high-volume cloud-based services such as those offered by the local government agency detailed in the case study titled "Citrix and Trend Micro, Intelligent, Scalable Web Security." The Trend Micro real-time anti-malware defenses and in-the-cloud threat reputation complement the Citrix application-level control and intelligence. Combined, the two products also give network managers and security architects a host of tools for gaining visibility over traffic flows, resource utilization, and threats.

Joe Keller, vice president of alliance and community marketing, Citrix Systems, Inc.
