— Trend
Micro
Incorporated (TYO:
4704; TSE:
4704),
a
global
cybersecurity
leader,
has
announced
the
signing
of
a
definitive
agreement
to
acquire
Anlyz,
a
leading
provider
of
security
operations
center
(SOC) technology.
The
acquisition
will
extend
Trend’s
orchestration,
automation
and
integration
capabilities
and
will
enable
enterprises
and
Managed
Security
Service
Providers
(MSSPs)
to
improve
operational
efficiencies,
cost
effectiveness
and
security
outcomes.
The
deal
encompasses
intellectual
property,
industry
expertise
and
more
than
40
technical
employees
all
focused
on
bolstering
Trend’s
security
platform
strategy.
With
this
acquisition,
the
company
will
expand
its
engineering
team
of
over
3000,
adding
a
new
research
&
development
center
in Bangalore,
India.
Managed
Security
Service
Providers
(MSSPs)
will
be
empowered
to
grow
their
strategic
SOC
services
while
minimizing
the
complexity
of
the
underlying
security
stack
by
reducing
the
number
of
technology
vendors
needed.
Trend’s
enterprise
customers
will
benefit
from
a
comprehensive
extended
detection
and
response
(XDR)
and
incident
response
orchestration
platform
that
can
maximize
analyst
productivity
and
help
relieve
resource
constraints.
Gartner
research
stated,
“As
buyers,
both
end
customers
and
service
providers,
continue
to
consolidate
vendors/providers,
buyers
will
seek
best-of-suite
and
integrated
solutions
over
best-of-
breed
point
solutions.
Preferred
technology
vendors
will
be
those
that
ease
integration
with
other
IT
and
security
technology
and
tools
within
the
environment,
supporting
efforts
toward
use-case-based
outcomes.”[1]
“We
are
happy
to
welcome
the
Anlyz
team
into
the
Trend
family
–
together
we
are
increasing
SOC
effectiveness
and
reducing
both
the
technology
and
resources
burdens,”
said Kevin
Simzer,
Chief
Operating
Officer
at
Trend
Micro.
“Due
to
market
pressure,
we
see
organizations
moving
past
security
point-solution
experiments
in
preference
for
platform
breadth
that
allows
for
vendor
consolidation,
maximized
return
on
investments
and
efficiencies.”
Trend
Micro
and
Anlyz
have
been
technology
alliance
partners
since
2021
and
share
more
than
30
joint
customers
that
are
positioned
to
move
forward
quickly
to
capitalize
on
the
opportunities
ahead.
