Threat intelligence and security capabilities continue to outpace threats


HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 18 July 2025 – Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), a global cybersecurity leader, has announced that it has been recognized an unprecedented 20 consecutive times as a Leader in Endpoint Protection Platforms*. No other vendor has been named a Gartner Magic Quadrant Leader for so long in this category—which Trend believes illustrates the enduring strength of its strategic vision, customer focus, and commitment to innovation.

Eva Chen, CEO at Trend: “Trend is proud to be recognized as a Leader for the 20th consecutive time. We believe our decades of expertise and intelligence are the key to leading the next era of security with our unmatched AI and proactive security capabilities.”

Trend achieved its milestone this year with Trend Vision One™ Endpoint Security, which is built on the foundations of product excellence laid over the past two decades.

Trend has ranked amongst the three highest scoring vendors across all Use Cases in the Gartner companion 2025 Critical Capabilities for Endpoint Protection Platforms report.

Mark Houpt, CISO at Databank: “Security used to be about locking the doors. Now it’s about navigating the unknown. Trend helps us do that—not just with powerful endpoint protection, but through a platform where everything works together by design. That integration is how we find threats faster, respond smarter, with fewer blind spots and more confidence.”

Five core tenets drive Trend’s expertise:

Commitment to innovation: Trend believes that the only way to remain an EPP Leader for 20 consecutive reports is to continuously anticipate what’s coming next. Trend has introduced deepfake detection, adaptive behavioral protection and more to ensure that customers can stay proactive. Together, these efforts help them to minimize response times and optimize cyber resilience.

Unified approach: Endpoint protection should not exist in a vacuum. Trend’s approach delivers these capabilities in a single, centralized platform, alongside CREM, attack path prediction, compliance, generative AI protection, XDR and more. This eliminates security gaps, reduces cost and complexity, and empowers security teams to see more, respond faster, and work more productively.

Consistent performance: Trend’s industry expertise is built on outstanding products, designed for some of the world’s most demanding and highly regulated environments. Trend Micro ranked highest in Core Endpoint Protection, Workspace Security Platform, and Architecturally Constrained Environments Use Cases in the 2025 Critical Capabilities for Endpoint Protection Platforms.

Global reach: No two customers, or regions, are the same. Different organizations may have different regulatory, threat landscape, and operational challenges. With Trend, they benefit from the scale, innovation and threat intelligence of a global leader, but with the localized expertise of a partner with a presence in North America, Europe, Asia and Australia.

Customers want technology partners they can trust. Trend has been helping global organizations to navigate their unique business and cybersecurity challenges for over 30 years.

Misbehaving Monks: Sex Scandal Shakes Thai Buddhist Faithful

By Montira RUNGJIRAJITTRANON/AFP – Reverence for the saffron-robed Buddhist monkhood is deeply woven into Thai society, but a sex extortion scandal has besmirched the clergy and left the devout questioning their faith.

Thai police this week arrested a woman accused of bedding at least 11 monks in violation of their vows of celibacy, before blackmailing them with thousands of secretly taken photos of their trysts.The monks are said to have paid nearly USD 12 million, funneled out of their monasteries funded by donations from laypeople hoping to increase their merit and prospects for reincarnation.The scandal provoked outrage over hypocrisy in the monkhood, concern their status shields them from scrutiny, and soul-searching across society about the role of religion.

“I’m not involved in the religion like I used to be,” 33-year-old motorbike taxi driver Mongkol Sudathip told AFP. “I don’t have full respect for it anymore.”

King Maha Vajiralongkorn has cancelled invitations to more than 80 monks who had been due to attend his upcoming 73rd birthday celebrations, citing “inappropriate behavior that caused mental distress among the Thai people”.

While the 11 monks have been stripped of their robes, the kingdom’s National Office of Buddhism has vowed to “restore public trust” with a sweeping police probe into the grubby affair.

Splurging Attitude

Theravada Buddhism has been the spiritual backbone of Thai identity for more than two millennia, and still shapes national laws banning alcohol on religious holidays and protecting sacred objects.

Thai men are traditionally expected to ordain as monks at least once in their lives for a period lasting as short as a few weeks or as long as decades.

The clergy are bound by 227 strict rules, including a ban on masturbation, touching women and even handling objects directly from them.

Monks traditionally survive on alms, food offerings and a modest USD 170 monthly stipend, but some pocket fees for lectures, blessings and ceremonies, blurring the line between faith and fortune.

In a TV interview, the woman at the heart of the scandal said she had developed a “splurging attitude” as her monk lovers lavished her with shopping trips worth up to USD 90,000 a day.

Motorcycle taxi driver Mongkol said he now prefers to donate to hospitals or schools for underprivileged children.

“It feels more meaningful than giving money to temples,” he told AFP.

This month’s scandal is not the first to rock the monkhood.

In 2017, police raided Wat Dhammakaya temple north of Bangkok, arresting its former abbot over allegations of laundering USD 33 million in public donations.

This May, police held another monk in the capital over allegations of embezzling nearly USD 10 million from a temple for an online gambling network.

Buddhism scholar Danai Preechapermprasit said repeated scandals, especially among senior monks, have “shaken people to the core”.

“People question whether donations are used for spiritual significance or personal desire,” he told AFP.

“I think Thailand has reached a point where it’s difficult for monks to even walk down the street.”

A powerful lawmaker has pledged tighter regulations within three months, including mandatory donation disclosures and laws treating monk misconduct as a criminal offence.

“This case does not represent Buddhism as a whole,” said national police chief Kitrat Panphet on 17 July, pledging a new task force to probe misbehaving monks.

“It’s about a few individuals doing wrong,” he said.

Never Lose Faith

In Buddhist tradition monks are viewed as the Buddha’s spiritual heirs, entrusted with preserving and passing on his teachings.

But at Wat Bowonniwet in Bangkok, one of Thailand’s most revered temples, only 26 monks were ordained this year, a steep drop from nearly 100 before the Covid-19 pandemic.

A monk there, speaking to AFP anonymously, blamed societal changes after the pandemic, which forced people into isolation, saying nowadays “people prefer to live outside the temple life”.

But independent Buddhism expert Jaturong Jongarsa said temples are increasingly being treated as “a garbage dump”, where families send drug addicts or LGBTQ youth to be “corrected”.

“Temples are no longer seen as the sacred spaces they once were,” he told AFP. “People send their problems to the temple and hope they’ll go away.”

Still, not all Thais have lost faith.

Camphun Parimiphut, a 52-year-old security guard from Maha Sarakham in Thailand’s northeast, said: “Buddhism is about the teachings, not the individuals who fail it”.

Because of corruption scandals he now avoids giving money to monks, preferring to donate only food. But his devotion remains steadfast.

“You can lose faith in monks,” he said. “But never lose trust in Buddhist teachings. They still teach us how to live a good life.”
