Joins
industry consortium and makes enterprise-grade phishing simulation service free
to all
Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), a global leader in
cybersecurity solutions, today advanced its commitment to make the world safer
for exchanging digital information. The company is a founding member of the new
Cybersecurity Tech Accord, a pact among the largest ever group of technology
and cybersecurity companies focused on defending businesses everywhere from
cyberattacks. In addition, Trend Micro is launching yet another free security
tool for businesses, a phishing simulator called Phish Insight.
The Cybersecurity Tech Accord is a newly formed alliance
of 30 companies–including Cisco, Facebook, HP, Intel, Microsoft, Nokia, Oracle,
Siemens and Trend Micro–which have agreed to defend all customers from
malicious attacks by cybercriminal gangs and nation states. One of multiple
pillars of the group includes a desire to do more to empower developers and the
people and businesses that use their technology to protect themselves.
As the world leader in vulnerability
detection, and one of few dedicated cybersecurity companies to join the Accord,
Trend Micro will bring global threat intelligence expertise to the group. Trend
Micro plans to play an active role in coordinating vulnerability disclosures, sharing
threats and minimizing malicious code in cyberspace. Additionally, the company
is in the unique position to assist those in the Accord to identify
vulnerabilities earlier in their own applications.
“No company can solve the
issue of cyber threats alone, which is why we align with strong technology
partners, like the Cybersecurity Tech Accord,” said Eva Chen, chief executive
officer of Trend Micro. “We understand that technology experts must join forces
to tackle threats from all sides, and we partner with both public and private
organizations to face our collective adversary–cybercriminals.”
Chen continued: “Malicious
threat actors are our only competitors. We leverage our extensive threat
intelligence to inform and fuel our products, including the free tools that can
give any company or consumer access to cybersecurity protection and
remediation.”
Our work as founding member
of the Cybersecurity Tech Accord is just one of many initiatives Trend Micro is
undertaking to make the digital world a safer place.
Trend Micro continues to collaborate with global law enforcement agencies and
employs and
supports thousands of threat and vulnerability researchers worldwide. The company uses this extensive threat intelligence to consistently develop and
offer free tools to bolster current
protections against the biggest cyber risks facing organizations.
Some of today’s most
pressing cyber threats–including ransomware and targeted attacks–come via
phishing emails. To combat these risks, Trend Micro is now offering Phish Insight as a free, enterprise-grade phishing simulation tool to
educate and test employees’ awareness of email scams. Phish Insight requires
zero budget and only five minutes to begin a highly realistic phishing
simulation.
“We count on Trend Micro as
a security partner. With that comes the expectation that they will deliver the
latest methods to detect, assess and react to threats,” said Niall O’Beaglaoi,
business development manager with Smarttech. “Their newest tool, Phish Insight,
has provided invaluable information on how users perceive and interact with
phishing emails.”
