Trend Micro adds NDR tool to its Vision One platform

Inline NDR optimizes detection and response, anticipating market trends

THE Trend Micro, a global cybersecurity leader, announces a breakthrough in its Trend Vision One™ platform. Inline NDR – a breakthrough in network detection and response (NDR) technology Network Detection and Response) – is designed to speed investigations by presenting higher priority alerts and automating complex response actions.

NDR tools are commonly implemented in large companies that have many sources of information detection and require modern decryption techniques. Forrester consultancy states that companies that use network analysis and visibility (NAV) Network Analysis and Visibility) should look for providers that have onboard or fully integrated* decryption capabilities.

The Trend Vision One platform's Inline NDR empowers SOC analysts to take action in near real-time to contain threats quickly and before they can cause lasting damage to the organization. According to Gartner**, “NDR can contribute to XDR by bringing network event analytics into the mix. Gartner analysts agree that most NDR assessments are for standalone deployments currently, but this may change in the future. As you continue to add other sources of telemetry, such as endpoint integrations and identity and access management (IAM, Identity and Access Management), NDR could even overtake the XDR market.”

Trend believes it is anticipating this shift in the market by integrating NDR capabilities to meet future demand. Many XDR-focused vendors have weak capabilities for native network analysis or lack sufficient NDR integrations. Security teams are also limited by NDR products with basic anomaly detection and out-of-the-box machine learning, leading to false positives and increased mean time to detection and containment (MTTD/MTTC). Integrating NDR capabilities into a broad security platform makes existing XDR tools more robust and provides greater value than a standalone product.

“Cybercriminals love unmanaged assets like routers, laptops, firewalls and smart devices – because they create security blind spots from which to launch new attacks. That's why we offer something different from most XDR. Our network telemetry lets you know where your unmanaged assets are and what they are doing, at all times, leaving attackers with nowhere to hide,” highlights Kevin Simzer, COO at Trend Micro.

A strong understanding of all assets connected to an organization's networks is critical to overall security. “Trend’s Inline NDR is unique in its ability to provide network enforcement, visibility and decryption without compromising quality. Integration with Vision One prevents customers from implementing multiple disconnected solutions, allowing security teams to be much more efficient”, highlights Rayanne Nunes, Technology Director at Trend Micro Brazil.
