Combats alert overload and maximizes security teams’ impact with broader visibility and expert security analytics for faster detection

HONGKONG, CHINA -  MediaOutReach  -  August 27,2019 - Trend Micro Incorporated ( TYO: 4704 ; TSE: 4704 ), a global leader in cybersecuritysolutions, today was first to offer detection and response capabilitiesintegrated across email, network, endpoint, server and cloud workloads. This isdesigned to give enterprises broader visibility of a risk posture whileconnecting minor events from different security silos to detect more complexattacks that otherwise remain unnoticed.

ESG research shows that 55% of organizations use more than 25 individual cybersecurity technologies [1] ;despite this, attacks are increasing and bypassing existing controls. ITSecurity teams receive more than 10,000 security alerts daily, according to a2018 SC Media Survey. The universal level of pain and inefficiency this causesis clear. A ccording to the Verizon 2018 DataBreach Investigations Report, "the mean time to identify a breach increased to 197 days and containing abreach increased to 69 days," leaving criminals nearly9 months hiding in an organization and causing damage.

"The threat landscape isunrelenting and the skills gap is nearly unsolvable, so we have done more tohelp," said Steve Quane, executive vice president of network defense and hybridcloud security for Trend Micro. "Business security cannot rely on endpointsalone. Unlike legacy EDR offerings that ignore certain key threat vectors likeemail, we scale across more sources for the most complete detections generatedas early as possible."

Connecting detections, telemetry, process data, and network metadata across email, network, endpoint and cloud workloadsminimizes manual work and quickly correlates events that humans are unable toprocess given the onslaught of daily alerts across individual product silos.Trend Micro's global threat intelligence adds further relevance and contextaround event data, and is enhanced by specific detection rules from thecompany's security experts that target the highest priority threats.

InTrend Micro's XDR solution, the "X" refers to the most extensive sets of datafrom more protection points, which is critical to find hidden threats. Theresulting detections are more accurate, are generated faster and provide bettercontext than ever before. Having one version of the security truth and astandardized schema for interpreting alerts also makes life easier forstretched IT security teams.

According to Gartner [2] ,"Threats are becoming more complex, multifaceted and easy to miss if you areonly looking at one piece of the investigation puzzle. It takes collaborationfrom various security technologies, and great use of the data coming fromexternal and internal sources to understand the big picture of which threatsare truly a problem for an organization. It takes collaboration, context,system intelligence and visualization to really solve modern securityproblems."

Thecomprehensive XDR solution applies the most effective expert analytics to thedeep data sets collected from Trend Micro solutions across the enterprise,making faster connections to identify and stop attacks. In 2019, Trend Microhas identified a high number of attacks that utilized lateral movement, withmost bypassing the endpoint altogether which illustrates the need for centralizedvisibility.

" Risk is not a static concern, " said Edwin Martinez, director of information security and CISO for ClubCorp USA,Inc. "TrendMicro's XDR will solve so much of our pain. By taking over the burden of dealing with thousands of alerts aday, we can r edeploy those resources to handlemore strategic projects. We rely on TrendMicro to give us an expert set of eyesand definitive insight as to if an event is of concern or a potential breach."

XDR is available as amanaged service to augment an in-house team with Trend Micro threat experts.Trend Micro's Managed XDR provides 24x7 full threat analysis, threat hunting,response plans and remediation recommendations.

"As a cybersecurity channel provider, we hear our customers' struggle to connect their data for centralized viewing," said Cindy Kennedy,president of ProGroup . "For many enterprises, the ideal scenario looks like a trustedsecurity advisor helping to handle this process on their behalf. Trend Micro isone of the few vendors even capable of this scope and now they are making ithappen."
