Trend Micro named leader in Gartner email security review

Trend Micro has been recognised as a Leader in the 2024 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Email Security Platforms.

The company's flagship solution, Trend Vision One – Email and Collaboration Security, is part of Trend Micro's centralised attack surface risk management platform. It incorporates AI-driven threat detection and compliance tools to help organisations address risks and enhance security.

Andrew Philp, ANZ Field CISO at Trend, commented, "While technology continues to evolve, email remains the number one form of business communication—and a critical threat vector. Centralising visibility and control as part of a fully integrated security architecture enables our customers to accelerate compliance and mitigate risk."

Gartner describes Leaders in the Magic Quadrant for Email Security Platforms as having a strong vision for the future and the ability to execute these visions. The firm notes that while Leaders may vary in product efficacy or functionality, they offer services that cater to a broad segment of the email market and have a strong commitment to customer success.

According to Gartner, Leaders quickly adapt to new attack trends and fill gaps arising from an evolving threat landscape, either through innovation or acquisition. These companies stand out for their technical capabilities and progressive strategies to ensure customer satisfaction.

Trend Micro emphasises continuous customer feedback, which underpins its development lifecycle. This feedback helps drive innovation, develop new products, and ensure solutions align with customer needs. Core features of Trend's email security service include AI and sandbox-based analysis and anomaly detection to uncover zero-day threats, business email compromise attacks, and advanced phishing strategies.

The platform also integrates capabilities for Security Operations (SecOps) and IT administrators through its attack surface risk management and extended detection and response (XDR) functions. It includes over 200 pre-built, customisable compliance templates for third-party cloud solutions like Microsoft OneDrive for Business. AI capabilities throughout the platform assist in preventing threats, reducing risks, identifying vulnerabilities, monitoring user behaviour, notifying analysts and administrators, and automating responses.

Trend Micro's sales strategy leverages in-depth industry expertise and extensive intelligence, enabling the company to anticipate market changes and respond swiftly.
