Trend Micro, a global cybersecurity enabler, has unveiled the next generation of cybersecurity platform, setting a new standard for strengthening security posture and threat defense.
The new Trend Vision One™ platform release marks a significant leap forward in enterprise cybersecurity, encompassing robust attack surface risk management, cross-layer protection across hybrid environments, and next generation XDR, now amplified by powerful generative AI technology.
Unparalleled XDR delivering the broadest coverage across security layers and superior support for hybrid IT environments
The platform’s advanced extended detection and response (XDR) capabilities include the broadest set of native security sensors to deliver the most comprehensive and cross-domain threat protection. By consolidating data across internal and third-party sources, utilizing advanced AI and machine learning analytics, and correlated detection models, the platform brings the next generation of XDR to market.
“Trend offers us full security coverage as the first vendor on the market offering extended detection and response (XDR) across email, network, server, cloud, and IoT,” said Matthieu Vanoost, Security Manager, Decathlon. “Trend proved itself to be a strategic partner that could meet Decathlon’s needs. “Centralization and automation are at the heart of Decathlon’s cybersecurity strategy, and this is why we partnered with Trend to ensure a streamlined security approach through our digital expansion.”
With unmatched visibility and insights into events, enterprises achieve more proactive defense, earlier detection, and faster incident response through capabilities including:
Cross-layer, hybrid environment support: Trend Vision One protects every layer of an organization’s diverse IT infrastructure including endpoints, servers, email, cloud services, networks, 5G, and OT (operational technology). Trend has the unique advantage of being able to leverage its breadth and depth of capabilities across cloud security, network security, and email and endpoint security natively in the platform. The platform also supports hybrid environments; empowering organizations to protect their assets across all environments — cloud, hybrid, or on-premises — without compromising security or the ability to extend to XDR.
Third-Party Ecosystem Integrations: Trend Vision One has tripled its integration ecosystem across third-party and partner networks over the last 12 months.
Community-driven integration efforts enable enterprises to leverage integration to propel security organizations forward with consolidated visibility and analysis and streamlined workflow automation and orchestration.
Global Threat Intelligence: Underpinning the platform, is the company’s leading global threat intelligence. With 16 research centers around the world; hundreds of threat researchers; and the Trend Micro™ Zero Day Initiative™ – the number one bug bounty program in the world — global and local intelligence feed the platform to help customers stay one-step ahead of adversaries. Trend intelligence unlocks deep breach activity and vulnerability intelligence with real-time threat insights, threat actor profiling, and end-to-end visibility into campaigns to rapidly understand and thwart attack attempts.
Expert Managed Services: Delivered together with the platform, Trend brings greater simplicity and support to security operations with the broadest vendor-delivered managed detection and response (MDR) service on the market, augmenting internal teams with advanced threat detection, proactive threat hunting, rapid incident response, expert guidance, and continuous 24/7 monitoring and support.
By consolidating data across internal and third-party sources and utilizing advanced AI, machine learning analytics and correlated detection models, the platform brings the next generation of XDR to market defending against the full range of adversarial tactics and techniques, including extortion, DDoS, ransomware and more.
Platform Supercharged by Generative AI
Trend brings transformative generative AI capabilities into its platform with the introduction of Companion, an AI-powered cybersecurity assistant. Companion amplifies security operations, boosts productivity and efficiency, and accelerates threat detection, response, and cyber risk management for analysts of all skill levels. This marks the initial phase of a multi-quarter rollout of AI and LLM capabilities embedded within Trend Vision One.
Enhanced Accessibility and Efficiency: Companion empowers new analysts to contribute more quickly while enabling senior analysts to swiftly comprehend complex scenarios, facilitating better-informed decisions. This helps organizations and security leaders bridge the skills gap and manage their operations more effectively.
Improved Hunting with Speed, Confidence, and Accuracy: Transforming plain-language search queries into formal search syntax, Companion enables rapid generation and execution of queries, unveiling relevant information for proactive threat response actions and minimizing adversarial movement.
Accelerated Workflows and Reduced Friction: Gain plain-language explanations of cross-layer event alerts, attacker scripts, and command lines, access deep analysis and contextual AI-driven mitigation recommendations, and automate email, help-desk ticketing, and incident reporting, streamlining processes and enhancing efficiency.
Amplified Impact via Platform Power: With cross-layer native sensors, market-leading threat intelligence, and robust integration capabilities, Companion extends its reach throughout the customer environment, guiding and prioritizing top risks, threats, and vulnerabilities, including newly discovered zero days, with precision. By working in harmony with Trend Vision One, Companion eliminates the risks associated with task-switching and alert fatigue.
Trend’s generative AI and LLM capabilities prioritize security and compliance in line with the requirements of this emerging technology. Stringent measures are in place to ensure visibility into how each model handles corporate data. Furthermore, additional controls and isolation mechanisms are implemented to prevent the mixing of Trend LLM with instances and training data from other vendors.
“Delivering on the promise of XDR requires replacing complexity with simplicity, replacing bundles of products with integrated platforms,” said Frank Dickson, Group Vice President, Security & Trust, IDC. “Trend’s approach offers tangible benefits for security professionals by tightly integrating its products through greater consolidation, resulting in increased productivity and effectiveness of security professionals. And its support for hybrid environments means that for those in the real world that still have on-premises IT environment as well as cloud deployments that they will realize the benefits of XDR whenever they are.”
