Trend Micro unveils AI-driven platform for MSP efficiency

With the introduction of its Trend Vision One platform, Trend Micro is facilitating managed service providers (MSPs) and managed security service providers (MSSPs) in enhancing their service offerings and revenue potential.

The development comes as the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in business grows, simultaneously increasing the complexity of cyber threats. Trend Micro's platform offers partners comprehensive tools to deliver proactive security services, mitigate cyber risks, and boost revenue.

Chris Zamagias, ANZ Head of Partnerships and Alliances at Trend Micro, stated, "In an era defined by rapid technological change and sophisticated cyber threats, we empower our partners to deliver proactive security and transform risk into revenue. We are committed to providing the tools and resources necessary for MSPs to confidently lead the new era of managed security."

The Trend Vision One platform enhances capabilities for cyber risk exposure management (CREM) and security operations, facilitating a proactive approach to managing cyber threats. By employing AI-driven analytics alongside multi-tenant management, the platform aims to enable MSPs to predict and obstruct potential threats more efficiently. This is intended to assist service providers in managing their attack surfaces and navigating the fast-paced technological environment.

Key features of Trend Vision One include continuous risk assessment and prioritised mitigation actions, constant attack surface monitoring, cyber risk reduction planning, optimised governance and compliance reporting, and real-time risk reporting.

Legato Security, recognised by CRN as one of the fastest-growing managed solution providers, leverages Trend Micro's CREM solution to extend its service offerings. Legato's business model focuses on ensuring the security of digital assets via detection and response services. Through the integration of CREM services, Legato facilitates other MSPs' delivery of proactive security solutions.

Tom Boyden, CEO at Legato, emphasised the importance of proactive security measures: "Many organisations struggle to keep pace with evolving threats, making proactive security essential. With Trend's CREM solution, Legato Security delivers asset discovery, continuous risk monitoring, and predictive analysis to keep customers ahead of threats."

"Trend's seamless training enabled us to quickly launch this service, strengthening our competitive edge. By integrating our managed services with the Trend Vision One platform, we ensure threats are detected and mitigated before they disrupt operations, helping organisations shift from reactive defence to strategic resilience."

The Trend Vision One platform capitalises on decades of Trend Micro's experience in cybersecurity research and advanced analytics. It intends to offer partners an effective tool for delivering quantifiable improvements in security measures. The platform aims to provide MSPs with reliable security solutions that pre-emptively address the ever-changing threat landscape using AI-driven approaches.

Trend Micro underscores the importance of offering a consolidated platform to manage and secure diverse customer environments efficiently, thus supporting its partners in delivering effective cybersecurity services. The company focuses on enhancing its platform to address the evolving needs of businesses in the digital age.
