At the event, Trend Micro alsoannounced the launch of its localmanaged XDRdatacenter service in India. While many customers are considering outsourcing complex security tasks to cybersecurity professionals, many are concerned about their sensitive data leaving the country. The local managed XDR datacenter service solves this data sovereignty issue.

Addressing the audience, Nilesh Jain, Vice President, Southeast Asia and India, Trend Micro said, “Today, data is collected and analyzed in silos, however what enterprises need is to collect and analyze data as a whole and be able to generate high-priority, actionable intelligence with context. To address this challenge, we recently launched ourXDR solutionthat will be a gamechanger for the industry. Managed XDR is a great service forcustomers who have detection and response tools, but don’t have the required resources or skillsets to maximize them.”

Managed XDR is a 24/7 service fororganizations thatwant to leverage the benefits of XDR and for organizations with security operations centers (SOCs)thatmay want additional detection and response support. Managed XDR seamlessly dovetailswithTrend Micro’s overarching XDR strategy in FY2020.

He further added, “The engagement around cybersecurity is no longer limitedto CISOs and CIOs. At Trend Micro, we have taken the engagement to the next level by speaking to the application team and the operations team. We are also looking at initiatives like community day to deepen our interactions with the DevOps professionals. Our top three prioritiesfor India this year are to – first, focus on hybrid cloud customers who are looking to grow aggressively; second, build on existing customers includingthose who are sitting on the fence evaluatingprospective options;and, finally, to recruit and grow our partner ecosystem.”
