Trend Micro Endpoint Security

What is Trend Micro Endpoint Security?

Trend Micro Endpoint Security is a comprehensive endpoint protection solution that combines traditional anti-malware protection with advanced EDR/XDR capabilities. It is an integral part of the Trend Vision One platform.

Key differentiators:

• Multi-layered protection - from signatures to behavioral analysis
• Virtual Patching - protection without installing patches
• XDR Integration - correlation with email, cloud, and network
• Lightweight agent - minimal impact on system performance

Protection Features

Anti-Malware

• Signature-based detection - known malware detection
• Machine Learning - unknown malware detection before execution
• Sandbox integration - suspicious file analysis in isolation

Behavioral Analysis

• Process monitoring - process behavior tracking
• Memory scanning - fileless malware detection
• Script control - protection against malicious PowerShell scripts

Virtual Patching

• Exploit protection - vulnerability exploitation blocking
• Zero-day protection - protection against 0-day attacks
• Intrusion Prevention - IPS rules for endpoints

EDR/XDR

• Real-time visibility - visibility of all events
• Threat hunting - proactive threat hunting
• Automated response - automatic isolation of infected hosts
• Root cause analysis - incident source analysis

Protection Scenarios

Ransomware Protection

1. Pre-execution - ML blocks unknown ransomware
2. Execution - Behavioral detection detects encryption
3. Response - Automatic isolation and rollback

Fileless Attacks

1. Script monitoring - PowerShell, WMI, VBS control
2. Memory inspection - in-memory malware detection
3. Behavioral rules - unusual behavior detection

Lateral Movement

1. XDR correlation - lateral movement detection
2. Identity integration - credential theft monitoring
3. Network containment - automatic blocking

Integration with Trend Vision One

Endpoint Security as part of Vision One offers:

• Central management - single console for all endpoints
• XDR correlation - correlation with email, cloud, network
• Risk scoring - prioritization of at-risk endpoints
• Automated playbooks - automatic response

Who is it for?

Trend Micro Endpoint Security is for organizations that:

• Need advanced endpoint protection beyond AV
• Want EDR/XDR integrated with a broader platform
• Require virtual patching for legacy systems
• Have heterogeneous environments (Windows, Mac, Linux)

Deployment with nFlo
