With a large number of employees working from home during the pandemic, commercial clients need some way of assigning a risk score to the cyber exposure posed by their users, software applications, and hardware devices, a Canadian information technology security expert suggests.
“In this day and age, many organizations are using SaaS [software as a service] applications and cloud apps,” Antoine Saikaley, technical director of IT security vendor Trend Micro Canada, said in a recent interview.

It’s easy to forget that cybersecurity is fundamentally about people. Attacks are launched by threat actors, phishing emails are opened by employees, and it is your SecOps team that tries, detects, and responds to increasing volumes of these threats. As good as technology systems are, we haven’t reached a point where this defensive work can be automated. So, what happens when your most precious resource, your security team, feels overwhelmed by their workload?

Organizations hit by a ransomware attack face a plethora of encrypted data and a hefty price tag to retrieve it. And many find that whether they pay the ransom or not, the attacks are extremely costly.

Trend Micro Cloud One - Open Source Security by Snyk is the first SaaS service to be added to Trend’s Cloud One platform beyond the original six.

Trend Micro announced that it will transform its partner program to provide more cloud resources, services, and rewards for its partners through added discounts for enabling businesses and organizations to strengthen its public cloud security. The goal of the refreshed program is to make it more profitable for partners that closely work with clients to deploy cloud security services being offered by Trend Micro through its authorized distributors and through the AWS Marketplace or the AWS Consulting Partner Private Offer program.

Canadian cyber insurers take note: Canada ranked within the Top 20 countries for COVID-themed cyber threat detections last year, according to cybersecurity company Trend Micro.

Trend Micro’s old XDR platform is one of three components of the new Vision One, a broader security microservices platform that the company says will be expanded with additional functionality going forward.

Trend Micro combats security alert overload and resource constraints with an extensible platform that provides visibility and response from a single console. The new platform, Trend Micro Vision One, has extended detection and response (XDR) at its core with new capabilities to help security teams to see more and respond faster.
