Trend Micro Offers Industry’s Broadest Zero Trust Solution with the Unique Risk Insights Organizations Need

According to Forrester[1],
“Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) is the signature security technology of the
pandemic. While modestly unchaining users from their antiquated VPN technology,
it has inspired organizations to reimagine how security (and networking) can be
consumed both today and in the future.”

With a dispersed workforce using a variety of devices to
access corporate resources hosted in a range of locations, from the corporate
data center to cloud or SaaS applications, companies can no longer assume
verified or trusted devices and individual identities are secure. Zero Trust is
the key strategy to enhance the security of critical data and systems. It is
the way forward to secure the always changing hybrid workplace in a more agile,
effective manner than legacy security architectures can deliver.

However, the market is rife with confusion. Trust and
access decisions are being made without the appropriate context or a complete
understanding of risk based on so-called Zero Trust solutions.

“For years vendors have been claiming ‘Zero Trust’ by
slapping the label on any and all types of solutions without understanding how
to actually measure trust,” said Kevin Simzer, chief operations officer for
Trend Micro. “Trend Micro is uniquely positioned to provide critical insight
into identity and device health with its comprehensive XDR and visibility into
email risk, which is foundational for building a successful Zero Trust
strategy.”

Trend Micro’s Zero Trust strategy crucially leverages
Trend Micro Vision One’s capabilities—delivering insight with the
broadest XDR solution to cover telemetry across email, cloud, networks and SaaS
applications. The strategy provides continuous security posture
assessment and complete insights so teams can make informed decisions.

Key highlights for businesses include:

• Risk
  and security health based on a continuous
  assessment of the user, device, app and content. This supports automated access
  control, flags incidents for alert investigations and creates dashboards for
  CISOs and SOC teams to make informed decisions.
• A secure connection is established based on
  the health assessment each time a device or user attempts to access the
  corporate resource. This includes a Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) API
  integration to SaaS apps, network enforcement points in front of
  company resources and support for blocking access to specific
  applications using existing endpoint agents.

Visibility for SOC teams
into email usage is particularly key as phishing activity from internal users
could indicate that user identities have been compromised—a common early sign
of an ongoing ransomware attack.

Customers can leverage Trend Micro’s risk scores for
Zero Trust to feed third-party SASE and other solutions via APIs—driving
additional value. Senior decision-makers can leverage the insights and
dashboard to better understand how their organization’s security posture is
trending over time.
