Trend Micro Incorporated today announced that it has been recognized as a “leader” in The Forrester Wave™: Enterprise Detection and Response, Q1 2020.
In their 14-criteria evaluation of enterprise detection and response (EDR) providers, Forrester evaluated 12 security vendors in three distinct areas: current offering, strategy, and market presence. Trend Micro earned the highest possible score in the “endpoint telemetry” and “security analytics” criteria (under the current offering category), the “product vision” and “performance” criteria (under the strategy category) and “enterprise clients” and “product line revenue” criteria (under the market presence category).
“Our XDR solution enables visibility and analysis that is otherwise difficult or impossible to achieve,” said Dr Moataz Bin Ali, Vice President, Trend Micro, Middle East and North Africa. “We believe that this recognition as a leader in EDR emphasizes the importance of simplifying and accelerating threat detection and response, the benefits of our XDR offering and our vision to provide our customers with the most complete solution.”
Forrester recognized Trend Micro’s offering in multiple areas including:
• “Trend Micro has a forward-thinking approach and is an excellent choice for organizations wanting to centralize reporting and detection with XDR but have less capacity for proactively performing threat hunting.”
• “Trend Micro delivers XDR functionality that can be impactful today.”
• “Client references universally appreciate the customer engagement they get from Trend Micro.”
• “One feature of [Trend Micro’s] EDR product that is particularly thoughtful is the highlighting of noteworthy objects when doing root-cause analysis. These objects provide hints for pivoting threat hunts to identify where else in the environment an adversary may have been.”
Trend Micro received the highest possible score for the following criteria:
• Endpoint telemetry
• Security analytics
• Product Vision
• Performance
• Enterprise clients [in market presence category]
• Product line revenue
