Trend Micro Vision-Extended Detection and Response

How Trend Micro Vision One Supports Extended Detection and Response

Threats are flowing dynamically between endpoints, email, servers, cloud workloads, and identities. Regrettably, most organizations continue to use siloed solutions that do not have the ability to see the entire story of the attacks. Consequently, analysts go after alerts rather than preventing attackers. It is here that Trend Micro Vision One XDR comes into play. 

Instead of sending isolated signals to the teams, it integrates detection, investigation, and response throughout the environment. What is more important is that it allows the security teams to know the behavior of attackers early enough and take decisive action. This results in organizations minimizing dwelling time, minimizing damage, and restoring control to the security operations of the organization.

How Trend Micro Vision One XDR Centralizes Detection

Effective security is characterised by visibility. In its absence, teams respond in an ignorant way. However, Trend Micro Vision One collects the telemetry into a single platform and represents it in a simple, practical format.

Rather than going through hundreds of low-value alerts, analysts view prioritized detections in context. As an example, the platform connects phishing emails to endpoint execution and lateral movement. As a result, analysts can know not only what took place, but also how the attack was carried out.

In addition, Micro Vision One XDR operates on a continuous behavior analysis as opposed to the mere use of signatures. Consequently, it identifies unrecognized threats and minor abnormalities that traditional tools fail to recognize. This active method will greatly enhance the level of detection.

Understanding the Need for Extended Detection and Response

Conventional security devices are based on single layers. As an example, the endpoint solutions identify malware, and email programs prevent phishing attacks. Nevertheless, in many cases, attackers do not just remain within a single layer. They instead turn on their heels, maximize privileges, and move leftward.

Due to this reason, SOC teams find it difficult to connect the dots. They go through alerts one after another, alternating between consoles and wasting precious time. In the meantime, the attacks are still running in the background. Organizations, therefore, require a solution that links telemetry of all attack surfaces.

Accelerating Investigation With Correlated Intelligence

Breach impact can so frequently be decided by the time of investigation. However, regrettably, manual investigation slows down the teams. Analysts spend hours collecting evidence and verifying notifications. In the meantime, there is a delay, and attackers take advantage of it.

Trend Micro Vision One overcomes this difficulty by automatically correlating layers of data. The platform constructs the full attack timeline as soon as a detection takes place. Thus, analysts do not guess the relationship between events anymore.

Micro Vision One XDR also provides detections with threat intelligence and MITRE ATT&CK mapping. Consequently, teams instantly get to know the intent of the attacker, the methods, and the probable course of action. This clarity will enable quicker and more ample determinations.

Improving Response Through Guided and Automated Actions

False confidence is a result of detection without response. The security teams need to take fast and precise actions. Trend Micro Vision One is capable of guiding as well as automating responses.

In the example, the endpoints that have been compromised can be isolated by the analyst, the malicious IP addresses can be blocked, or the accounts may be disabled on the platform itself. Therefore, they prevent attacks without tool alteration. This simplified flow of work saves a lot of time in terms of response time.

Moreover, Trend Micro Vision One XDR enables playbook-based automation. Thus, teams manage routine incidents regularly and leave human intelligence to manage complicated threats. In the long run, this will enhance efficiency and minimize burnout of analysts.

Breaking Down Security Silos Across the Organization

The security silos lead to blind spots. In the case of tools working in isolation, the tools do not share context. Consequently, organizations fail to notice signs of organized attacks in time.

Trend Micro Vision One does away with such silos through the incorporation of telemetry across security layers. Teams are therefore able to see the whole picture of risk. As an example, notification of a suspicious login activity coupled with endpoint activity generates a more confident notification.

Due to the fact that Micro Vision One XDR links these signals in automatic mode, organisations transition from reactive defense to proactive threat hunting. Alerts are not even raised before analysts seek signs of compromise.

Enabling Proactive Threat Hunting

Threat hunting needs visibility, context, and intelligence. In the absence of centralized data, hunters act in the dark. Micro Vision One enables proactive hunting by means of providing rich telemetry and advanced search.

Analysts are able to query behaviors and network activity as well as processes around the environment. This leads to their discovery of latent threats, which they overcome the automated detection. Such a proactive opportunity dramatically decreases the dwell time of attackers.

Also, Trend Micro Vision One XDR incorporates a constant change in detection logic in accordance with global threat intelligence. Hence, the hunting activities remain in tandem with new methods of attack.

Reducing SOC Fatigue and Operational Overhead

SOC is debilitated by alert fatigue. Analysts are ineffective in areas where they receive thousands of alerts per day. Micro vision one solves this problem by means of intelligent prioritization and correlation.

Rather than responding to noise, the teams are responding to high-risk incidents. They, therefore, examine fewer alerts and at the same time, they get better results. This is a method that enhances morale and retention in the long run.

Companies also decrease tool sprawl by using Trend Micro Vision One XDR. Reduced number of consoles implies that there are fewer workflows, training gets quicker, and the cost of operation is reduced.

Conclusion

Prolonged Detection and Response has now become a necessity in the operation of modern security. The attacks are quicker, and disconnected tools are not able to follow. Trend Micro Vision One provides the visibility, context, and reaction that the SOC group requires in the modern world. It makes security more proactive than reactive by integrating detection, speeding up the investigation process, and allowing decisive action to be taken. The end result is greater protection to organizations, minimal risk, and a more resilient SOC.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does Trend Micro Vision One differ from traditional SIEM tools?

Trend Micro Vision One emphasizes real-time detection and reaction, as opposed to a collection of logs. It aligns the telemetry between layers and allows direct response actions, which are not always provided by the traditional SIEM tools.

2. Can Trend Micro Vision One replace existing security tools?

The platform is used to supplement and complement the current tools and consolidate their data. It utilizes the existing investments to their fullest rather than replacing them.

3. Is Trend Micro Vision One suitable for small SOC teams?

Yes. The platform saves on manual labor, emphasizes alerts, and facilitates automation. This means that small teams are more efficient without the need to expand the headcount.
