Trend Micro: A Leader in Exposure Management, According to IDC MarketScape

Trend Vision One™ Cyber Risk Exposure Management reduces operational silos and cyber risk.

DALLAS, Aug. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), a global cybersecurity heavyweight, just landed a major accolade. The firm announced today it’s been named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Exposure Management 2025 Vendor Assessment* for its Cyber Risk Exposure Management offering. Industry watchers are taking note of Trend Micro’s proactive approach to mitigating digital threats.

Kevin Simzer, COO at Trend Micro, emphasized the strategic advantage, stating, “Running a successful business is all about managing risk effectively. With our exposure management solution, organizations are empowered to proactively understand and manage exposure across their entire environment from a single location. It’s compliance and risk management made easy to help align cybersecurity to business and innovation objectives.” This unified approach could translate to significant cost savings and improved operational efficiency for businesses grappling with increasingly complex cyber threats.

The IDC MarketScape report spotlights several key strengths of Trend Micro’s offering:

• “Trend Micro combines native security posture management tools with several third-party integrations to provide exposure telemetry to CREM, bringing many types of exposure, including those in identities, into a centralized platform. Users can also create Vision One playbooks for automated endpoint and account remediation tasks.” This consolidation of security data provides a much clearer picture of an organization’s overall risk profile.
• “Users may launch the Trend Companion GenAI assistant to ask natural language questions about the exposures in the platform as well as suggestions for making themselves more secure. Suggested prompts are available and depend on where the user is in the platform.” The integration of GenAI promises to democratize cybersecurity, making it easier for less technical users to understand and respond to threats.

The IDC MarketScape report further notes, “Trend Vision One Cyber Risk Exposure Management is particularly well suited for enterprises aiming to consolidate security tools and automate remediation, with the added ability to report on compliance requirements within the Trend Micro ecosystem. The solution is an optimal fit for buyers that value integrated asset discovery, predictive analytics, and automated response within a single platform, especially where reducing operational silos and achieving measurable risk reduction are strategic priorities.” The report suggests that Trend Micro is positioning itself as a key player in helping businesses streamline their cybersecurity operations and demonstrate regulatory compliance.
