Trend Micro Introduces Inline NDR to Enhance Cybersecurity
Trend Micro’s new Inline Network Detection and Response technology aims to improve threat detection and response, significantly boosting cybersecurity measures for enterprises.
The Role of Inline NDR in Modern Cybersecurity
Trend Micro’s Inline Network Detection and Response (NDR) technology is a state-of-the-art innovation designed to address the growing complexities of cybersecurity threats. Unlike traditional NDR solutions, Inline NDR operates within the network, allowing for real-time detection and response to security breaches. This technology is integrated into the Trend Vision One™ platform, providing a comprehensive security solution that covers all aspects of network protection. By embedding NDR capabilities directly into the network flow, it enables Security Operations Center (SOC) analysts to take near real-time actions, thereby enhancing detection and response capabilities across all security functions.
Key Features and Benefits
One of the standout features of Trend Micro’s Inline NDR is its ability to provide enforcement, visibility, and network decryption without compromising quality. This is crucial for SOC teams that often face resource shortages and lack of visibility into network assets. By offering advanced capabilities, Inline NDR aims to improve overall cybersecurity measures, making it easier to detect and respond to threats quickly. According to Kevin Simzer, COO at Trend Micro, understanding all network assets is vital for preventing cyberattacks. The technology’s network telemetry reveals where unmanaged assets are and what they are doing at all times, leaving no place for attackers to hide[1].
Addressing Challenges in Cybersecurity
Security teams often struggle with legacy NDR products that rely on baseline anomaly detection and machine learning, leading to false positives and longer mean-time-to-detect and contain (MTTD/MTTC). Trend Micro’s Inline NDR addresses these challenges by integrating NDR capabilities into a broader security platform, thereby enhancing the robustness and value of existing Extended Detection and Response (XDR) tools. This integration reduces false positives and streamlines security operations, allowing for more efficient workflows. Forrester Research highlights the importance of NDR tools with decryption capabilities for improved network analysis and visibility, which Inline NDR offers[2].
Impact on the Market
Trend Micro’s Inline NDR is expected to set a new standard in the cybersecurity industry. Gartner notes the significance of NDR in contributing to XDR by incorporating network event analytics with other telemetry sources such as endpoint and identity management data. This holistic approach not only enhances threat detection but also improves the overall security posture of organizations. With its Inline NDR technology, Trend Micro aims to stay ahead of threat actors and industry competitors, providing a solution that meets the evolving needs of the market[3].
Conclusion
Trend Micro’s Inline NDR represents a significant advancement in network security, offering a robust solution for modern cybersecurity challenges. By integrating this technology into the Trend Vision One™ platform, Trend Micro provides a comprehensive and efficient security solution that enhances detection and response capabilities. As cyber threats continue to evolve, innovations like Inline NDR are crucial for maintaining robust security measures and protecting organizational assets from potential attacks.
