Deep Security Virtual Appliance 12 FR (NSX) supported guest OS's

Deep Security Virtual Appliance can protect guest VMs running OS's from the vendors shown in the table below. From within those vendors, the appliance supports all OS's that VMware supports. For the list of OS's that VMware supports, see this VMware Compatibility search tool. When using the tool, make sure that:

What are you looking for? is set to Guest OS.
OS Vendor is set to one of the supported vendors listed in the table below.

If you are using combined mode, any guest VMs with an agent installed must be supported by the agent. For a list of OS's supported by the agent, see Supported features by platform.

The list of supported features varies not only by platform, as shown in the table below, but also by NSX license type. For details on which features are supported by your NSX license, see VMware deployments with the virtual appliance and NSX.

Feature set 1 includes signature-based file scanning, spyware scanning, and document exploit protection.

Feature set 2 includes behavior monitoring, process memory scanning, and registry scanning.

(¹) This platform supports enhanced real-time integrity monitoring. It uses the application control driver to provide file monitoring and captures information about who made changes to a monitored file.

(²) Microsoft releases regular, semi-annual releases for Microsoft Windows 10 and Windows Server Core. For details about which specific releases are supported, see Deep Security Support for Windows 10 and Deep Security Support for Windows Server Core.

(³) All Trend Micro testing on Windows Embedded platforms is performed in a virtualized environment. Because these operating systems are typically run on custom hardware (for example, on point-of-sale terminals), customers must plan to thoroughly test on their target hardware platform prior to deployment in a production environment. In addition, before raising support cases, customers should attempt to reproduce problems in a virtualized environment because this is the environment the Trend Micro support team has available. If the issue is specific to deployments on custom hardware, Trend Micro may require the customer to provide us with remote access to a suitable environment before we can fully respond to support cases.

(⁴) Real-time Anti-Malware support on Linux: Real-time Anti-Malware scanning is highly dependent on the file system hooking implementation, so file system incompatibility can cause issues with this feature. The following table shows which file systems are compatible with the feature:
