Trend Micro Evaluated as Having the Highest Score in Current Offering Category in XDR Evaluation
Trend Micro Vision One Named a Leader in firm’s first major XDR vendor evaluation
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 15 October 2021 – Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), a global cybersecurity leader, has announced the latest industry recognition for its Trend Micro Vision One platform. Trend Micro was named one of only two Leaders in The Forrester New Wave™: Extended Detection and Response (XDR) Providers, Q4 2021 report, and scored highest in the current offering category in the latest report of its kind by a major analyst firm.
To read a full copy of the Forrester New Wave™ report, please visit https://www.trendmicro.com/explore/forrester-wave-xdr.
“Their capabilities of truly providing a full view of the environment from the security stack is unusual and impactful,” said customers cited in the report. Per the Forrester report, “[It] is the best fit for companies that need a robust, easy-to-operate security suite. Organizations that want a platform to deliver cross-telemetry integration of traditional security tools and top customer service will benefit from a relationship with Trend Micro.”
“Today’s security analysts are faced with a daunting set of responsibilities to identify critical threats and limit lasting damage from attacks,” said Wendy Moore, vice president of product marketing at Trend Micro. “Yet major visibility gaps and alert overload are all too common. We created a single unified platform with these challenges in mind, so it’s fantastic to see Forrester’s independent analysis position us as a leader.”
The New Wave report also cited that “Trend Micro has loyal customers confident in the security efficacy of the offering.”
“They cite Trend Micro’s roadmap transparency and above-and-beyond customer support (including support at the prospect stage) as key to its success,” it added.
Of the fourteen vendors evaluated, Forrester gave Trend Micro’s XDR offering differentiated scores in seven out of ten criteria:
- Visibility
- Detection
- Investigation
- Product architecture
- Threat hunting
- Product security
- Product vision
The New Wave report follows a series of recognitions by Forrester this year of Trend Micro products that comprise the company’s Vision One platform. The analyst firm named Trend Micro a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Enterprise Email Security, Q2 2021 report and a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Endpoint Security Software as a Service, Q2 2021. A separate, commissioned Total Economic Impact™ study conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of Trend Micro this year found that Trend Micro Cloud One can deliver projected ROI of up to 188% over three years.
Trend Micro Vision One goes beyond any other XDR offering or legacy EDR solution to connect email, endpoints, servers, cloud workloads, and networks – and uses powerful security analytics to correlate data with Trend Micro’s global threat intelligence. The result is fewer, higher confidence alerts and earlier detection, all from a single location.
Integrations are also possible with third-party Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) and Security Orchestration, Automation and Response (SOAR) tools as well as Azure Active Directory to maximize value for customers.
As a portfolio vendor with a full suite of industry leading products, Trend Micro leverages deep product and domain knowledge of email, endpoint, servers, cloud workloads, network, and more to provide an XDR offering that exceeds other providers.

AkzoNobel Gives Peace-of-Mind to Parents with the new Dulux Wash & Wear Anti-Viral Interior Paint
With washable, anti-bacterial, and anti-viral functions in one product, AkzoNobel aims to help parents sleep better at night
SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 15 October 2021 – AkzoNobel announces the launch of its new Dulux Wash & Wear Anti-Viral paint today. The new range adds to Dulux’s existing interior washable paint portfolio as an improved variation of the Wash & Wear range that comes with the proprietary KidProof+ Technology, and an added layer of anti-viral protection from the Silver Ion Technology™. The Wash & Wear Anti-Viral paint will be available for purchase at all leading paint stores across the country from October 18 onwards.
The world has been spending considerably more time in their own houses, and Singapore is no exception. As a “man’s home is his castle”, and in the current pandemic climate, it is expected that many consumers have become more mindful of cleanliness and hygiene, especially so for parents with young children. Beyond commonly used items such as tables, doorknobs, remote controls, and cushions, viruses and bacteria are also often present on inconspicuous places such as the walls. With the introduction of Dulux Wash and Wear Anti-Viral’s new proposition, the added protection against viruses provides for a safer environment, enabling parents to have less worries and sleep better at night.
Powered by Silver Ion Technology™, the Wash and Wear Anti-Viral comes with an added benefit of anti-virus property that helps to effectively work against certain viruses such as the human coronavirus NL-63 virus1. In addition to the anti-viral properties, its KidProof+ Technology offers a higher level of protection against tough stains and helps make cleaning common household stains on walls easy as it delays stains from penetrating further into the paint film, while aiding to inhibit growth of bacteria2 on walls.
“At AkzoNobel, we are constantly on the lookout for technologies to push the boundaries in safeguarding spaces and enhancing lives through paint. As the importance of health and wellness gains traction in a post-pandemic world, I am proud that our new Dulux Wash & Wear Anti-Viral can support that vision by protecting our consumers starting from the four walls of their homes,” shares David Teng, Commercial Director SEAP at AkzoNobel Decorative Paints.
The new Dulux Wash & Wear Anti-Viral paint is a new product proposition that provides two-pronged peace-of-mind for parents. The Wash & Wear proposition continues to reinforce children’s creativity and fun activities without the worry of leaving unsightly stains. And now the new added value helps to actively protect the whole family against unseen viruses and bacteria.
Dulux Wash & Wear Anti-Viral range comes with ColourguardTM Technology, which helps walls to remain vibrant for longer. There are more than 2,000 colour options to choose from. Visit www.dulux.com.sg for more product information and colour inspiration.
1 Anti-virus performance
* Effective against human coronavirus NL-63 (99% efficacy) – with 30 min of exposure on the painted surface (based on certificate of
analysis issued by IMSL UK)
* This is NOT tested for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)
* Virus and bacteria can also spread through other external/Internal surfaces.
2 Anti-bacteria performance
* Dulux EasyClean has been tested against 6 types of bacteria as per TUV-JIS Z 2801 test method. Dulux EasyClean sample was found to meet the anti-bacterial performance requirements for the following set of bacteria:

– Bacillus subtilis (ATC 6633)
