Trend Micro has unveiled a major overhaul to a decades-old cybersecurity workhorse: the Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) platform. The company’s new Agentic SIEM combines agentic AI and digital twin technology to address the chronic headaches of legacy SIEM—think alert overload, setup drudgery, and sluggish threat response.
“Trend Vision One Agentic SIEM enters the market at a pivotal time, leveraging Agentic AI from the ground up to drive speed, performance, and risk-driven, contextual insights,” says Dave Gruber, Principal Cybersecurity Analyst at ESG.
Why This Matters
Traditional SIEMs struggle with:
- Cost and complexity
- Static parsers that can’t keep up with evolving data sources
- Weeks-long configuration cycles
- Overwhelming, noisy alerts
Trend Micro’s approach: build from scratch for AI-first operations. The Agentic AI doesn’t just parse logs—it learns, maps, and optimizes on the fly, cutting through noise and acting independently to surface real threats.
Key Specs and Gains
- 900+ data sources supported since Aug. 1 launch
- Onboarding for new log types in three days today—targeting three hours by 2026
- Six native XDR sensors (endpoint, cloud, email, networks, servers, identity) + third-party telemetry for full visibility
- Seven years archival retention, two years analytic retention for compliance and hunting
“Agentic SIEM is a major stepping stone to our long-term vision for full, AI-driven SecOps,” says Mick McCluney, ANZ Field CTO at Trend Micro.
Beyond Detection
Trend is positioning Agentic SIEM for three high-value use cases:
- Threat Detection & Response – Autonomous analysis, anomaly detection, and remediation.
- Compliance – Extended retention and search for audits.
- Incident Investigation – Automated cross-source correlation to accelerate root cause analysis.
Digital Twin Twist
Perhaps the most intriguing feature is its ability to integrate with Trend’s digital twin technology. That means simulating critical environments—factories, hospitals, supply chains—and proactively spotting vulnerabilities before attackers do. This opens the door for adoption in sectors like healthcare, predictive maintenance, and smart infrastructure.
With SIEM long due for reinvention, Trend Micro’s Agentic AI bet could set a new benchmark in autonomous, risk-prioritized security operations.
