Trend Micro, a global cybersecurity powerhouse, has been named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape Worldwide Extended Detection and Response (XDR) Software 2025 Vendor Assessment. The recognition underscores Trend’s growing influence in AI-driven cybersecurity and its commitment to modern SecOps teams tackling complex threats.
AI at the Core of Security Operations
Trend Vision One™ Security Operations, the company’s flagship platform, combines Cyber Risk Exposure Management (CREM) with Agentic SIEM, XDR, and Agentic SOAR. The goal: a unified, AI-augmented environment that accelerates threat detection, investigation, and response—all from a single pane of glass.
Mick McCluney, ANZ Field CTO at Trend, emphasized the platform’s impact: “By turning siloed data into valuable insights and accelerating threat response, we empower SecOps to proactively secure their organization.”
Why Vision One Stands Out
IDC’s report highlights several strengths:
- Extensive native capabilities: Vision One covers endpoints, cloud, email, network, data (including FIM and DLP), and identity. Threat intelligence is sourced from over 250 million sensors, Trend Micro’s MDR service, and its 500+ threat researchers in the Trend Research and Trend Zero Day Initiative (ZDI) teams.
- Broad integrations: Vision One supports more than 80 native integrations, including logs from Salesforce, Microsoft Entra ID, Office365, cloud activity, network traffic, and identity systems.
- Risk-driven approach: CREM provides attack surface discovery, attack path prediction, vulnerability assessment, and exposure management. Analysts get AI-assisted recommendations via Trend Companion to improve decision-making.
- Actionable dashboards: Predefined widgets visualize detected vulnerabilities, high-risk devices, MITRE ATT&CK mappings, company risk index, and unassigned alerts, helping analysts prioritize and respond efficiently.
- Flexible licensing: Using a credit-based system, organizations can allocate license consumption across software and services, giving more control over costs without sacrificing capabilities.
IDC notes that Trend Vision One has a “long history as a fabric that provides security analytics for security controls and protections, unified risk insights, and detection and response over multiple surfaces,” making it a versatile solution for cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments.
Why This Matters
As cyber threats grow increasingly sophisticated, XDR platforms that unify detection, response, and risk management are becoming essential. Trend Micro’s Vision One demonstrates how AI, automation, and telemetry can empower SecOps teams, reduce alert fatigue, and provide actionable intelligence across multiple attack surfaces.
For enterprises aiming to modernize cybersecurity operations while maintaining visibility and control, Trend Micro’s recognition in the IDC MarketScape confirms that Vision One is a strong contender in the crowded XDR market.
