With automated risk prioritization, security teams proactively eliminate threats
THE Trend Micro, global leader in cybersecurity, has added cloud risk management to its flagship cybersecurity platform. O Trend Vision One™ – Attack Surface Risk Management (ASRM) drives business value by enabling organizations to consolidate their cybersecurity efforts and gain a complete view of cloud security risks in hybrid environments.
This release introduces advanced features including:
• Agentless and cloud-native vulnerability scanning;
• Cloud security posture management (CSPM);
• Cloud Infrastructure Rights Management (CIEM);
• Comprehensive risk visibility in hybrid clouds;
• Container security risk visibility for clusters and images.

“Our offering is fully available, including on the AWS marketplace, and is known as the first platform to natively connect customer threat surfaces, driving cyber risk reduction,” highlighted Kevin Simzer, COO at Trend Micro. “It strengthens security posture by optimizing compliance processes, minimizing costs and complexity. With it, our clients have the precise roadmap to better allocate resources to strengthen their defenses”, he added.
A resilient security posture requires an understanding of risk across the system and applications that make up the attack surface. However, only 9% of companies actively monitor this. The enterprise attack surface has expanded significantly, becoming a byproduct of organizations investing in digital transformation and cloud migration initiatives. As a result, companies and governments have adopted on-premises and multi-cloud security technologies that can include AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes and other cloud service providers.
Trend identifies unknown risks by expanding external attack surface management. External Attack Surface Management – EASM) to identify an organization's public assets across cloud providers, improving cloud security and governance.
Trend Vision One™ now delivers this functionality through a unified approach to risk management, threat detection and incident response, based on data from multiple sources, including cloud metadata, containers, workloads, endpoints, credentials, networks and emails. This includes capabilities for managing cloud asset inventory and security posture, prioritizing risks, scanning for threats and vulnerabilities, and evaluating risk profiles and attack paths.
These enhancements make Vision One™ more than a cloud-native application protection platform (CNAPP), helping organizations consolidate their cybersecurity efforts and gain a holistic view of cloud security risks.
Specifically, Trend Vision One™ – Attack Surface Risk Management (ASRM) offers:
• Attack surface discovery: increases business security by actively mapping the cloud attack surface in real time, providing a comprehensive inventory of internal and external cloud assets to protect against potential threats;
• Risk assessment and prioritization: Continuously assesses assets to prioritize and execute remediation actions, proactively reducing risks and preventing security breaches. This includes prioritizing vulnerabilities in running containers and increasing the resilience of organizations;
• Attack trajectory analysis: assesses risk profiles and discovers possible attack paths to guide the implementation of compensating controls, strengthening organizations' resilience against cyber threats;
• Risk measurement and reporting: reveals overall security performance to communicate investment needs and the actual state of cyber risk to the C-suite, providing a clear understanding of security posture and its impact on business performance;
• Compliance Optimization: Simplifies compliance processes by identifying and addressing breaches and misconfigurations, aligning security operations with industry standards and frameworks to maintain trust and regulatory adherence.
