SAP has been helping business leaders make better decisions for over 50 years. Its enterprise software drives competitive advantage for nine out of ten Fortune 500 companies and hundreds of thousands of other enterprise and SME customers around the globe. Business-critical data and the systems it flows through are also popular targets for threat actors, which is why Trend Micro is partnering with the computing giant IBM to boost protection for SAP customers running software on IBM Power servers.
The combination of IBM and Trend Vision One™ will combine scalable server and workload infrastructure with multi-layered threat protection, detection, and response-to help mitigate cyber risk across an expanding attack surface.
Threats are building
IBM Power is the perfect fit for SAP, offering built-in virtualization and capacity on-demand to support data-hungry workloads. Customers have been able to take advantage of the partnership since 2004, and IBM Power has supported SAP's flagship HANA database platform since 2015.
Yet many SAP customers still lack sufficient protection to safeguard critical data residing on their servers and workloads. This is particularly important in the context of several overlapping trends:
Joining forces
IBM has a proven track record in system security, which involves a multi-layered approach of hardware-accelerated transparent memory encryption, quantum-safe cryptography, and fully homomorphic encryption to protect data end to end. However, as enterprise customers continue to modernize out of traditional secure data centers, IBM recognizes the need to partner with a security leader to protect these diverse IT environments.
SAP also recognized the need for an additional layer of security on IBM's servers and directed the firm to contact Trend Micro as the recommended cybersecurity vendor due to their unique SAP-certified integration that can also support legacy Operating Systems running on IBM Power.
IBM needed a provider to unify visibility and control across physical, virtual, and cloud workloads. This is what Trend Vision One was specifically designed for: to help customers build resilience against attacks and enhance their threat detection and response efforts.
Trend Vision One offers:
The combination of IBM Power and Trend Micro delivers a combined value greater than the sum of its parts while driving revenue opportunities for both parties. Ultimately, it will provide peace of mind so our joint customers can focus on what they do best-using SAP to drive sustainable growth.
