Reduce effort and increase safety
Trend Micro™ Managed XDR provides expert threat detection,
investigation, and hunting
DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
As the security manager of a retail company, you have to secure a widely distributed IT
landscape, including checkout systems in various stores, cloud services, and networks. A lot
is at stake here. What if a ransomware attack crippled IT and the cash registers failed? Or
if hackers infilitrated sensitive payment and customer data? You can’t risk that under any
circumstances.
That’s why you do everything you can to detect and contain cyberattacks as early as possible.
You also have to deal with an extensive catalog of regulations, including the GDPR and PCI
DSS. If your company is a major food provider, it is also an industry-critical organization and
it must meet the security requirements of the industry-specific security standard. Evidently,
to properly protect your IT environment, you must utilize effective detection and response.
EASIER SAID THAN DONE
You do your best to keep the business running, protect data, and ensure compliance. You may
already have a security information and event management (SIEM) software that collects
security alerts from various systems, or you may even operate a Security Operations Center
(SOC). But despite that, there’s still a lot that makes your head spin.
Your employees face thousands of security alerts every day. How are they supposed to
recognize the really important ones fast enough?
Since the SIEM is licensed according to events per second, high costs are incurred due to
the many connected security systems. Creating use cases for SIEM and SOC projects and
building the corresponding logic is also time-consuming and expensive.
You need highly skilled analysts to assess security messages and make connections. But
these specialists are hard to find in times of a shortage of skilled workers. Analysts must
continually educate themselves as cyberattacks become increasingly complex, which also
takes up time that you don’t have.

WHAT NOW?
You need a managed service that combines a reliable extended detection and response
(XDR) solution with highly skilled analyst expertise. XDR not only collects security information
from the entire IT environment, but also automatically correlates and prepares it to produce
actionable alerts. In doing so, the solution leverages artificial intelligence (AI) and incorporates
global threat intelligence to better identify risks. To learn more about the advantages of XDR,
read Gartner’s assessment in the Top Security and Risk Management Trends.
With Managed XDR, specialized SOC analysts handle the evaluation and assessment
of the results output by the XDR solution, Trend Micro Vision One™. Since they are also
aware of indicators discovered with other customers, they can even quickly identify new
attack patterns. Analysts assess the criticality of the findings and recommend appropriate
countermeasures with a step-by-step remediation plan. Therefore, your own team saves
considerable analysis effort and only has to worry about implementing the remediation
measures. This is another area where the managed service provider (MSP) can provide
support. It also provides regular reports on your company’s security posture that you can
present to management.

TREND MICRO TIP
Ensure the managed solution provider has a leading security stack, a large team of SOC
specialists, proven expertise, and as many customers as possible. This way you can be sure
that it offers a high level of quality. The larger the database that the provider can access, the
more accurate its analysis.
KEY ADVANTAGES OF MANAGED XDR
• Benefit from the specialized knowledge of experienced SOC analysts. Since they
have global threat intelligence available and use the latest analytics, they can
identify threats and attack patterns faster.
• Increases your analysis, correlation, and reaction speed and reduces the burden on
your team. The automated services of Trend Micro Vision One (XDR) alone perform
as much as an average of eight full-time security employees, according to the
ESG Research Insights Report.
• Save on SIEM and SOC costs, because Managed XDR reduces the number of events
to be processed to a minimum.
• Save on planning costs thanks to the pre-built use cases for endpoint and email
security.
• Learn and grow from SOC specialists. Overtime, you can gradually reduce the
managed service share.
