Trend Micro extended its extended detection and response (XDR) technology today with a new platform, Vision One, that adds new risk visibility and third-party integrations to Trend Micro’s XDR.

XDR combines elements of security information and event management (SIEM), security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR), endpoint detection and response (EDR), and network traffic analysis (NTA) in a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform to centralize security data and incident response.

Trend Micro was one of the early XDR providers, and the vendor says it has helped “hundreds” of organizations reduce their cyber risk by correlating alerts across their environments since it launched its initial XDR managed service in 2019. That one integrated detection and response capabilities across email, network, endpoint, server, and cloud workloads.

The new Vision One platform provides “enhanced XDR,” according to Trend Micro. Purpose-built sensors natively integrate with Trend Micro’s security stack that spans network, email, endpoint, and cloud. It also includes API integrations with existing third-party products.

Vision One uses cross-layer detection models along with security risk visibility supported by Trend Micro’s threat researchers to help enterprises see more complex attacks and security risks. Another new feature, which is available in preview, provides insights into software-as-a-service (SaaS) application usage, risk levels, and trends over time.

And the platform allows security teams to adjust security policies and respond to incidents across security layers from a single console.

XDR Platforms ‘Flood the Market’

“This threat defense platform will continue to evolve in response to the changing threat landscape and the infrastructure of our customers,” Trend Micro COO Kevin Simzer said in a statement. He added that while Trend Micro was at the forefront of the technology, over the past few months XDR products and services have flooded the market. In response, “we are going further and offering more.”

Indeed, over the past six months several security and infrastructures have rolled out new XDR platforms and strategies, or updates to their existing EDR products as they move into XDR. In the last couple weeks alone Fortinet launched its FortiXDR platform, McAfee made available its Mvision XDR, and RSA added cloud-native analytics and machine learning engines to its NetWitness XDR platform.
