Interoperability helps telecom and service providers to further alleviate network risks experienced by business and home users

Trend Micro Inc. announced that its telecom IoT security solution, Virtual Network Function Suite (VNFS), has been certified as VMware Ready. This designation verifies the compatibility of the Trend Micro solution to secure modern networks that are built to support 5G and Internet of Things (IoT).

"We are pleased that Trend Micro qualifies for the VMware Ready logo, signifying to customers that it has met specific VMware interoperability standards and works effectively with VMware cloud infrastructure," said Kristen Edwards, director, Technology Alliance Partner Program, VMware. "This signifies to customers that the Trend Micro solution can be deployed in production environments with confidence and can speed time to value within customer environments."

Certification by VMware allows communications service providers who prefer or have already adopted VMware vCloud NFV to easily add network security services from Trend Micro. Those who are interested in the Trend Micro solution but haven't virtualized their networks yet will find it much easier to set up an evaluation environment with VMware vCloud NFV.
