Case Study: City of Fresno achieves PCI compliance and unified server security with Trend Micro Deep Security

City of Fresno selects Trend Micro™ Deep Security for Firewall, Intrusion Defense, Deep Packet Inspection, and Virtual Patching

The City of Fresno, a full-service charter city with about 4,500 employees and dozens of remote sites, needed to add online payment capabilities while protecting citizens’ credit card data. Budget constraints and a heavily virtualized VMware environment meant IT had to find a PCI-compliant, vendor-consolidating security solution that could secure Internet-facing systems without adding physical servers or administrative overhead.

Fresno deployed Trend Micro Deep Security in its DMZ and web-facing servers, using built-in PCI templates and features like firewalling, intrusion defense, deep packet inspection, file integrity monitoring, event logging, and virtual patching. The unified, VMware-integrated console simplified administration, accelerated PCI compliance, reduced total cost of ownership, and provided continuous protection against zero-day and legacy vulnerabilities, freeing IT time and enabling scalable expansion across the data center.
