Trend Micro Leverages Newest XGen™ Security Capabilities Across All Solutions

Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO:4704; TSX:4704), a global leader in cybersecurity solutions, today announced that it is leveraging its newest capabilities of XGen™ security, including machine learning, to better protect networks and hybrid cloud environments. XGen™ security, which powers all of Trend Micro’s solutions, is a unique blend of cross-generational threat defense techniques that is continually evolving and optimized for each layer of security — user environments, networks and hybrid clouds — to best protect against the full range of known and unknown threats.
As quoted in the press release:

Organizations today are still dealing with a massive volume of known bad files, URLs and spam; and, they are struggling to defend against stealthier, unknown threats like targeted attacks, zero days, business email compromise and ransomware. Classic techniques, such as anti-malware and content filtering, remain the most efficient way of eliminating the high volume of known threats. In fact, Trend Micro blocked more than 80 billion such threats for our customers last year alone.¹ However, with over 500,000 new, unique threats created every day², newer, more advanced techniques are also needed.
That’s why XGen™ security includes a blend of proven and advanced threat defense techniques and intelligently applies the right technique at the right time. This smart approach to security leverages techniques such as web and file reputation, intrusion prevention and application control to efficiently handle the large volume of known bad and known good. Then, more advanced techniques such as behavioral analysis, machine learning and sandbox analysis are freed to more quickly and accurately handle the harder-to-detect, unknown threats. And all of these capabilities are fueled by the market-leading, cloud-based global threat intelligence of the Trend Micro Smart Protection Network, which helps to ensure faster protection for customers around the world. This delivers maximum protection and efficiency.
