This guide is designed to assist you with the new license methodology for Trend Micro
Cyber Risk Exposure Management - Cloud Risk Management, transitioning from the traditional
per-account licensing model to the new per-resource/per cloud account licensing model.
The guide provides information on the benefits of the new licensing structure, which
offers greater flexibility and scalability for managing cloud resources. By following
this guide, you will be equipped with the knowledge and tools needed to effectively
communicate the advantages of the per-resource model, ensuring a smooth and successful
transition.
New Licensing Model
The licensing model for [Organization]'s Cyber Risk Exposure Management - Cloud Risk
Management, (formerly [Organization] for Cloud), has transitioned from a per-account
basis to a per-resource (per cloud account) basis. A resource is any cloud asset.
This new model offers greater flexibility and scalability, allowing organizations
to pay based on the number of cloud resources existing per cloud account. Customers with more than one cloud account will now have pricing that reflects the number of
resources per account, rather than paying for 8,000 credits for every account, regardless
of size. This change ensures that customers can more accurately align their security investments with their actual usage, making
it easier to manage costs and optimize their cloud security posture.
Resource Visibility
You have enhanced visibility of these assets within the Trend Vision One platform.
This model allows organizations to pay based on the number of cloud resources they
need to protect. Additionally, the integrated visibility within Vision One enhances
the ability to monitor and manage cloud assets, ensuring comprehensive protection
across the entire cloud environment.
How to License (Example):
Here is an example of a customer with 5 cloud accounts and varying number of resources
per account. In this example, you would license each cloud account by its number of
resources, aligning with the appropriate SKU tier, per account. Similarly, the Marketplace
PAYG pricing for CREM – Cloud Risk Management has been updated to an hourly model
based on the number of resources per cloud account, ensuring that you can more accurately
align their costs with actual usage.

Cloud One Conformity Renewals
Conformity is licensed per resource (PAYG) based on sizes S, M, and L, as well as
per cloud account (annual). We recommend that you upgrade to CREM-Cloud Risk Management
over renewal as Conformity will reach end-of-life soon and CREM-Cloud Risk Management
offers expanded capabilities that Conformity does not.
ASRM for Cloud Renewals
When you renew existing ASRM for Cloud (CREM – CRM) license, which was licensed per
cloud account, you can renew into the new tiers to better reflect the resources distributed
across cloud accounts.
