Developers have long been chasing the dream of being able to write an application once and having it run anywhere. Despite valiant attempts over the years, we’ve never quite succeeded.

After a 20-year career in the U.S Secret Service, Ed Cabrera joined Trend Micro in 2015, where he is now the Chief Cybersecurity Officer, working with organizations to help improve cybersecurity. Among the multiple challenges faced by enterprises around the world are ransomware and Business Email Compromise (BEC) attacks, which represent a more immediate form of risk than other forms of attack that are not quickly monetized by attackers.

Trend Micro announced on June 19 a Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service to assist security operations teams. MDR provides managed cyber-security services that benefit from artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities to help detect threats. The new service is not intended to replace an organization's existing security team, but rather is being positioned as a complementary approach.

As the number of organizations that are embracing containers continues to increase, so does the number of incumbent cybersecurity vendors extending the reach of their platforms. Trend Micro, as part of that trend, has begun offering a Deep Security Smart Check module to continuously scan container images, which complements an existing Deep Security module for securing container runtimes.

Confusion persists around DevOps because the term "has been used and abused so much it's lost all meaning," said Mark Nunnikhoven, VP of cloud research for Trend Micro, speaking Tuesday at the Gartner Security and Risk Management Summit in National Harbor, Maryland. DevOps tools have emerged and organizations have marketed "DevOps people." But at its core DevOps is a philosophy designed to balance two formerly disparate parts of an organization: development and operations.
