Trend Micro, a pioneer in security software and solutions, is using MongoDB as a data store for its high performance Internet content security and threat management solutions. In 2013, Trend Micro selected MongoDB for its flexible document model and auto-sharing capability, which increases developer productivity and allows the company to effectively scale, ultimately accelerating time to market.
"MongoDB is a new component of our innovative security technology, helping us store comprehensive data for threat analysis and deliver real-time insights to customers," said JD Sherry, vice president, technology and solutions at Trend Micro. "Millions of systems all over the world rely on our security and threat management solutions around the clock. MongoDB will serve a strategic role with these systems and so far, we've found the document database to be reliable."
MongoDB stores metadata - customer information and real-time log statistics - for several of Trend Micro's security solutions, accelerating querying and reporting, while also helping to improve customer experience with web content scanning and filtering. In addition, MongoDB allows Trend Micro to manage a large number of requests and easily scale its data access layer, a SaaS-based common data access interface with zero downtime requirements.
"The cyber security industry demands continuously available systems designed to ensure customers are protected from the latest threats," said Max Schireson, CEO at MongoDB. "With high performance, reliability and scalability, MongoDB helps Trend Micro protect the data of its customers while allowing the company to innovate rapidly."
Trend Micro's solutions are powered by global threat intelligence delivered through the Trend Micro Smart Protection Network infrastructure supported by more than 1,200 global threat experts.
Thousands of organisations have selected MongoDB because of its agile and scalable approach. Common use cases include operational and analytical big data, content management and delivery, mobile and social infrastructure, user data management and data hub.
MongoDB has a thriving global community with approximately 5 million downloads, 100,000 online education registrations, 20,000 user group members and 20,000 MongoDB Days attendees.
