The Forrester
report gave an evaluation of Trend Micro’s Apex One, which it described as
offering “…comprehensive endpoint threat prevention, threat detection,
secure configuration, attack response, and data security capabilities within a
wider portfolio of security products and services.”

Endpoint
security is an increasingly important part of organizations’ multi-layered
threat defense posture, requiring exceptional visibility and cross-generational
threat detection capabilities to mitigate the risk posed by sophisticated
threat actors.

“Over
the past year, SaaS endpoint security and XDR have played a crucial role in
keeping organizations and their distributed workforces secure as threat actors
probe for new gaps in protection,” said Wendy Moore, vice president of
product marketing for Trend Micro. “We believe being named a Leader by a
respected independent authority speaks volumes about our product, vision and
ability to deliver value for customers in a highly competitive market.”

“Buyers
enjoy complete feature parity between the company’s on-premises and managed
versions of Apex Central, allowing for easy transitions during the ‘hybrid’
phase.” “[Trend Micro’s] extended detection capabilities are robust
and accessible from Trend Micro Vision One…” The report states that Trend
Micro Vision One provides “…a separate console designed to consume
telemetry and environment data from Trend Micro and third parties spanning
network, cloud workload, email, and endpoint sources.”

“Forrester
expects Trend Micro will continue to serve large organizations well, especially
those with comprehensive endpoint security requirements,” the report’s
profile of Trend Micro concluded.

Overall,
Trend Micro received the maximum score possible (5.0) in the Threat Prevention
criterion and in a total of 14 criteria of evaluation including: Malicious
Behavior Protection, Extended Detection Breadth, Mobile Security, Data
Security, Product Roadmap, and Enterprise Penetration.

Trend Micro
Vision One, a foundational part of the company’s cybersecurity platform,
delivers visibility and cross detection and response (XDR). It uses telemetry
from endpoints in addition to email, servers, cloud workloads and networks to
correlate detections and built-in threat intelligence.

The SaaS
model offers a more agile, low maintenance delivery model increasingly favored
by organizations and their remote workforces. The Trend Micro Vision One
provides organizations with the increased visibility they need across all
security layers to enable faster detection and response.
