Effective October 14, 2025, Microsoft will end support for Windows 10, Exchange Server 2016 and 2019, and Office 2016 and 2019. On December 31, 2025, SAP ECC 6.0 will reach the end of mainstream support. These deadlines create significant security risks for organizations that continue to operate these systems. Trend Micro Deep Security 20 provides enterprise-grade protection to mitigate these risks through advanced security technologies, including virtual patching, intrusion prevention, and SAP-certified integration.
What is Trend Micro Deep Security?
Trend Micro Deep Security is a comprehensive enterprise security platform designed to protect physical, virtual, cloud, and container environments. It is particularly effective for securing legacy systems and applications that are no longer supported by vendors. Deep Security uses a single lightweight agent to deliver multiple security controls, reducing complexity and resource consumption.
Trend Micro Deep Security 20 LTS is the current version and is actively maintained with ongoing updates. It is available as a standalone solution that operates independently, without requiring additional platforms or cloud services. Organizations can deploy Deep Security immediately to protect legacy systems, mission-critical applications, and modern workloads.
Key Features
- Virtual Patching
Deep Security provides virtual patching through its Intrusion Prevention System (IPS). This feature shields known vulnerabilities without requiring system reboots or downtime. It is essential for systems that cannot be patched due to end-of-support status or operational constraints. - Intrusion Prevention and Detection
The platform monitors network traffic and blocks malicious activity before it can exploit vulnerabilities. This proactive approach helps prevent zero-day attacks and targeted exploits. - Anti-Malware and Ransomware Protection
Deep Security includes advanced anti-malware capabilities to detect and block malicious files and processes. It also provides behavior monitoring to stop ransomware attacks in real time. - Integrity Monitoring
This feature tracks changes to critical system files and configurations, helping organizations detect unauthorized modifications that could indicate a security breach. - Log Inspection
Deep Security analyzes system logs to identify suspicious activity and compliance issues, supporting security audits and regulatory requirements. - SAP-Certified Security
Deep Security integrates with SAP NetWeaver environments and is SAP-certified. This ensures protection for mission-critical business applications without disrupting operations. - IBM Mainframe and LinuxONE Support
The platform extends protection to IBM mainframes and LinuxONE environments, securing the backbone of enterprise operations. - Single Lightweight Agent
One agent provides all security functions across diverse environments, including legacy Windows servers, modern Linux systems, and Kubernetes clusters. This reduces complexity and resource usage. - Independent Operation
Deep Security is a complete solution with its own management console, policies, and reporting tools. It does not depend on additional platforms to function. - Optional Vision One Integration
For organizations seeking extended detection and response (XDR) capabilities, Trend Micro Vision One can be added as an optional enhancement. Vision One provides centralized visibility, advanced analytics, and cross-layer threat detection across the entire security stack. However, Deep Security operates fully without Vision One.
Licensing
Trend Micro Deep Security is licensed per protected workload. Licensing requirements can vary based on the environment and the number of systems to be secured. For detailed licensing guidance and to ensure compliance, consult the experts at SCHNEIDER IT MANAGEMENT.
