Trend Micro offers zero day threat protection for networks by leveraging global research and artificial intelligence. Zero day threats are security vulnerabilities that haven’t been patched by the vendor community. These threats can cause significant damage, such as ransomware attacks, and organizations should take proactive measures to detect and remediate them. Trend Micro’s research team analyzes data in real-time to identify and mitigate potential threats. Virtual patching and endpoint security tools are also available to protect against zero day vulnerabilities. The Trend Vision One platform provides continuous visibility and protection against threats.
Key Takeaways from the Meeting Notes on Network Security:
1. Zero day threats refer to security vulnerabilities that have been detected in a system or device but have not yet been patched by the vendor community.
2. Zero day attacks can cause significant damage to organizations, with ransomware incidents costing an average of $4.54 million in 2022.
3. Cybercriminals exploit vulnerabilities between the time of discovery and when the vendor issues a patch. Only 5% of vulnerabilities are remediated within one month, while 67% are resolved within three months.
4. Organizations should not rely solely on vendors to repair their systems, as it gives threat actors opportunities to access and exploit them. The increase in digital transformation processes has expanded the attack surface, making it more attractive to bad actors.
5. Trend Micro conducts global research using artificial intelligence and machine learning to detect and analyze potential threats in real time. They block over 146 billion threats in 2022 and work with authorities to stop cyber threats.
6. Virtual patching is an additional method to protect against zero day vulnerabilities. It implements protection in production environments to detect and block suspicious activity until a vendor-supplied patch is released.
7. Trend Micro’s Trend Vision One™ – Endpoint Security provides additional protection by detecting suspicious activity and allowing organizations to limit threats through trusted domain filtering and geolocation and domain filtering.
8. MITRE ATT&CK is a free database that helps create threat models and mitigate the threat of cyberattacks. Trend Micro’s Trend Vision One™ achieved first place in the protection category in the MITRE ATT&CK cybersecurity software evaluation.
9. Trend Vision One offers detection and response capabilities across multiple security layers, providing insight into attacks and enabling faster detection and response.
10. Trend Micro’s Zero Day Initiative (ZDI) collaborates with a vendor-agnostic community to detect software vulnerabilities. Trend Micro can quickly implement virtual patching technology to protect customers’ applications and infrastructure based on the latest reported vulnerabilities.
11. Trend Micro offers solutions that utilize decades of security expertise, global threat research, and continuous innovation to secure environments and reduce the risk of vulnerabilities.
These takeaways provide insight into the importance of proactive detection and mitigation of zero day threats and highlight how Trend Micro’s solutions can help organizations protect their networks.
