Agent platform compatibility

Workload Security agents can be installed on cloud, virtual, or physical computers, wherever the container or operating system (OS) and kernel are supported. Support is shown in the following table. 

Indicators:
✔ — Supported. If support was added in an update, then the minimum required version is indicated in the footnote.
• — Support for these releases is ending soon. Please upgrade as soon as possible.

The manager supports older agent versions, but you should still upgrade agents when possible. New agent releases provide more security features and protection, higher quality, performance improvements, and updates to stay in sync with OS releases. Regular software upgrades also ensure that, if an agent fix is required, you can simply update once — not install multiple updates along a supported upgrade path. Each agent has an end-of-life date. For details, see Deep Security Agent LTS life cycle date and Deep Security Agent FR life cycle dates.

Not all agent features are available on all platforms. See Supported features by platform.



For details about which specific Windows 10 update releases are supported, see Deep Security Support for Windows 10 and Deep Security Support for Windows Server Core.

For details about which specific Windows 11 update releases are supported, see Cloud One - Workload Security and Deep Security Support for Windows 11.

Minor Linux version compatibility

Trend Micro releases agents for major Linux versions, such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9. Minor Linux versions such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.x are also compatible if they use a kernel that the agent supports.

To determine if the computer has a supported kernel or not, see your OS provider's documentation and compare the computer's kernel version with Linux kernel compatibility.

Docker compatibility

Agent 10.0 or newer can protect Docker hosts and containers running on Linux distributions. Windows is not supported.

Support for new stable releases of Docker is added to each new release of the agent. Each long-term support (LTS) release of the agent supports all Docker Enterprise Edition (EE) versions that have not reached end-of-life, including all Docker release sub-versions. For example, agent 11.0 supports Docker 17.09-ce and its sub-versions Docker 17.09.0-ce and 17.09.1-ce. We do not officially support Docker Edge releases.

Do not upgrade to the newest stable release of Docker until there is an agent version that supports it. Before deploying the agent, verify that Docker supports both your target environment and platform configuration.

Footnotes:

1. 

   Because embedded operating systems usually run on custom hardware (for example, on point-of-sale terminals), you should thoroughly test your specific hardware platform prior to deployment in a production environment. Trend Micro tests Windows Embedded platforms in a virtualized environment. If you need to raise a case with Trend Micro Support, try to reproduce the problem in a virtualized environment. If the issue cannot be reproduced in a virtualized environment, and is specific to your custom hardware, Trend Micro Support might require you to provide remote access to it for diagnostics.

   Note that Windows 10 IoT was formerly named Windows 10 Embedded, and is therefore considered a Windows Embedded platform.

2. 

   Requires a Desktop Experience installation. Server Core is not supported.

3. 

   These AIX configurations are supported:

   • AIX LPARs on a PowerVM Hypervisor on a Power Server
   • AIX as the bare metal OS on a Power Server

4. 

   In August 2019, Microsoft changed code signing requirements to stop using SHA-1 and use only SHA-2. Therefore these legacy OS must have the patch installed to enable verification of SHA-2 signatures on newer update releases of Deep Security Agent. See also:

   • Updated guidance for use of Trend Micro Deep Security to protect Windows 2003, Windows XP, and Windows 2000 based systems
   • New versions of Trend Micro Deep Security Agents for Windows will only be signed with SHA-2 (also available in Japanese)

5. 

   In February 2023, Microsoft changed code signing requirements, but has not released a patch for this OS. Therefore the last supported update release for Deep Security Agent 20 is in January 2023.

6. AlmaLinux 8 and Rocky Linux 8 are supported by Deep Security Agent 20.0.0-3288+ for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.

7. Rocky Linux 9 is supported by Deep Security Agent 20.0.0-6313+ for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.

8. Windows XP support requires Deep Security Agent 10.0 Update 25 or earlier.

9. Windows Server 2003 support requires Deep Security Agent 10.0 Update 25 or earlier, or Update 29 and later. It is not supported with Updates 26, 27, and 28. See also Deep Security Agent version 10 update 26 cannot be used for installation or upgrade on Windows XP/2003.

10. Windows Server 2008 support requires the SP2 service pack.

11. Windows Server 2008 R2 support requires the SP1 service pack.

12. In the second half of 2023, Deep Security Agent 20 for Windows Server 2008, AIX 6.1, and Debian 8 will reach end of standard support. For more information see Limited Support for Windows Server 2008, AIX 6.1 and Debian 8 after Deep Security Agent Version Revision in 2nd Half of 2023 Update Release.
