The Trend Micro Deep Security VMware NSX Bundle System Security – Maintenance Renewal for 1 CPU Socket delivers comprehensive, automated protection that scales with your organization’s needs. Designed for academic institutions under academic pricing, this renewal ensures ongoing access to the latest threat intelligence, signature updates, and security features that defend against malware, exploits, network attacks, and configuration drift across virtual machines and NSX micro-segments. With centralized management through the Deep Security Console, administrators gain real-time visibility, simplified policy enforcement, and automated compliance reporting—without sacrificing performance in even the most dynamic virtual data centers.

• NSX-Optimized threat protection: Built to securely segment and protect VXLAN/TNV networks within NSX environments, providing synchronized security policies that align with micro-segmentation goals while reducing attack surfaces across virtual workloads.
• Virtual patching and exploit protection: Prevents targeted and zero-day exploits without immediate patch deployment. Deep Security’s virtual patching, exploit protection, and behavior-based analytics shield vulnerable services while you test and apply updates.
• Multi-layer defense in a single console: Combines anti-malware, IPS/IDS, firewall, integrity monitoring, log inspection, and Application Control to deliver comprehensive protection from the data plane to the control plane.
• Centralized management with scalable licensing: A single Deep Security Manager (DSM) manages policy, events, and reporting across all NSX-enabled hosts, with licensing aligned to 1 CPU Socket and flexible renewal terms to suit academic deployments.
• Academic pricing and flexible renewal: Specifically tailored for institutions, theMaintenance Renewal provides access to software updates, signature updates, and support during the term, enabling education and research organizations to protect critical workloads without compromising budget constraints.

how to install Trend Micro Deep Security VMware NSX Bundle System Security

Installing Trend Micro Deep Security in a VMware NSX environment involves preparing your NSX-enabled infrastructure, deploying the Deep Security Manager (DSM), and protecting each NSX-enabled host with the Deep Security Agent. The process is designed to be interoperable with standard vSphere and NSX components, enabling rapid deployment across clusters and data centers while maintaining compliance with organizational security policies.

Step-by-step outline for a smooth installation:

• Verify prerequisites: Ensure your vSphere version and NSX deployment are supported by the Deep Security version you are renewing. Confirm that you have the appropriate CPU Socket license and network access for DSM and agent communication.
• Deploy Deep Security Manager: Install or upgrade the DSM appliance or virtual machine in a supported environment. Configure a centralized console to manage security policies, events, and reporting across NSX-enabled hosts.
• Register the license: Enter the 1 CPU Socket license tied to the academic renewal to enable protection across your NSX-enabled workloads. Validate connectivity between DSM, the agents, and the Trend Micro cloud services for updates.
• Install Deep Security Agent on protected VMs: Deploy the agent to each virtual machine or configure image templates to ensure new VMs automatically receive protection. Enforce policy assignments that align with your micro-segmentation strategy.
• Configure NSX integration and policies: Enable NSX integration within DSM, map security policies to NSX segments or virtual networks, and define rules for anti-malware, firewall, IPS, integrity monitoring, and log inspection that reflect your environment’s security posture.
• Test and monitor: Validate that protection is active, traffic is correctly inspected, and alerts are routed to your SIEM or DSM dashboard. Schedule regular policy reviews and updates to respond to evolving threats and policy changes.
