Threat detection and response has become increasingly challenging as cyber risk continues to evolve. More sophisticated and widespread attacks combined with uncorrelated data, a general lack of visibility, and an overwhelming number of alerts puts security teams without XDR capabilities at risk.

ESG found that, "Organizations using the XDR capabilities of Trend Micro Vision One can eliminate siloed views and processes, reduce cybersecurity complexity, pursue new opportunities more confidently, and reduce spending on security products."

"Once we ripped and replaced our previous solutions with Trend Micro, we saw immediate improvements in performance. I never looked back after that," said Michael Perez, network administrator for Fabens Independent School District. "It has saved me unlimited amounts of time and money because we have not been successfully attacked. Since deploying Trend Micro solutions, we've been stronger than ever. Trend Micro was built to do security."

Trend Micro Vision One goes beyond XDR by analyzing and correlating security telemetry from endpoints, servers, cloud workloads, emails, and networks—enabling SOC teams to prioritize and respond to threats more effectively. Current customers have benefitted from:

• Security effectiveness: "The reduction in complexity has led to a reduction in human-caused errors of over 25%. This gives us faster detection and remediation," said VP/CISO of a medical supplies and services company.
• Business enablement: Eliminating siloed processes and views supports enhanced, streamlined operational efficiency, making it easier for organizations to take advantage of new opportunities without adding additional resources.
• Cost reduction: "Our overall product spend has gone down almost 50% when you look at all of the products that Trend Micro has replaced," noted a CISO in the hospitality industry.

"Trend Micro Vision One empowers security teams with a centralized and powerful threat detection solution," said Wendy Moore, vice-president, product marketing for Trend Micro, "Our XDR capabilities equip teams with the tools they need — making it easy for analysts to cut through the noise of complex campaigns deployed by malicious threat actors. ESG's independent validation of our XDR approach provides confirmation that Trend Micro Vision One improves security posture, accelerates the speed of business and reduces cost."

Trend Micro's cybersecurity platform delivers security consolidation without sacrificing industry-leading protection across all layers. This approach offers the broad visibility and insights SOC teams need, while providing time efficiency through higher quality alerts. These benefits empower organizations to confidently invest in their digital transformation for long-term protection and success.
