Trend Micro is now making it possible to employ Kubernetes to orchestrate security scans of container images conducted by Trend Micro Deep Security, its suite of of tools that rely on deep packet inspection to protect applications using a combination of firewalls, intrusion protection systems and monitoring of logs and files.

Manufacturing networks still running outdated technology could risk their intellectual property and production processes. The Trend Micro report, Securing Smart Factories: Threats to Manufacturing Environments in the Era of Industry 4.0, outlines the security dimension of a new era for manufacturing driven by IoT and connectivity everywhere.
