Micro's Approach to Cybersecurity: AI Virtual Patching and Consolidation

Trend Micro is a world’s leading security software company which is dealing with cybersecurity and has come up with various solutions to deal with the constantly changing face of threats. He and his team are targeted at artificial intelligence against virtual patching as well as the integration of security products to improve the endangered safety and optimise the quantity of operational security tools.

AI Virtual Patching

Virtual patching is an initial step to providing protection to the system where essential changes are made to protect the defective area until permanent fixes are implemented. Trend Micro employs AI in virtual patching to enhance its effectiveness:Trend Micro employs AI in virtual patching to enhance its effectiveness: 

  • Real-Time Threat Detection: Pattern recognition in AI procedures allows the interception of threats thereby allowing timely action to be taken on these threats. 
  • Behavioral Analysis: AI has the capability to study the behavior of the applications and systems and then alert the organization on possible and detected threats. 
  •  Automated Responses: AI-based virtual patching solutions have the capability of applying protective measures autonomously, thus, decreasing the vulnerability window and the involvement of humans.

Consolidation 

In cybersecurity consolidation means the integration of several security products or systems into one system.

Trend Micro's consolidation approach includes:

  • Unified Security Platform: They combine the functionalities of antivirus, intrusions detection systems, and firewalls and is thus easier to manage and control. 
  • Enhanced Visibility: Related to the previous one, it offers a broad perspective on the organization’s security environment to allow for the timely assessing of risks and threats.  
  • Improved Efficiency: Limits the number of tools and decreases expenses on security by unifying numerous security appliances into a single platform, while control and management functions that are incorporated into an appliance centralized performance of security policies. 
     

Benefits

  • Reduced Risk: Through virtual patching, the dangers of the exploitation of such vulnerabilities can be eradicated in the shortest time possible by use of AI. 
  • Operational Efficiency: Some of the benefits of consolidation includes that it is far easier to manage security than trying to manage several systems.
  • Scalability: The highlighted solutions can be implemented in full or in part to correspond to the increasing needs of organizations and guarantee stable protection as the network evolves.

Concisely, the symbolical and consolidation strategies of AI virtual patching mean the comprehensive, efficient and scalable solution from Trend Micro to the modern and advanced threats.
