Improves our traffic visibility, saves us time, and identifies blind spots

  • January 30, 2024
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

We deploy Trend Vision One - Cloud Security on all systems as part of the standard package. When rolling out new devices, it allows me to monitor East-West traffic between our endpoints. Previously, I had no visibility into communication between Trend user A and end user B within the network. XDR now grants me this insight, while also sending alerts for suspicious activity. I can click on these alerts, investigate in Trend Vision One - Cloud Security, and visualize the communication flow in a user-friendly diagram. This helps me distinguish genuine threats from warnings or false positives. For example, one day I saw an alert indicating someone attempting to reinstall Chrome on a PC. Trend Vision One - Cloud Security confirmed this activity. Additionally, XDR enables me to directly block malicious attempts from the workbench.

Trend Vision One - Cloud Security operates entirely in the cloud, enabling remote access to user devices for necessary changes, virus removal, and patch implementation.

How has it helped my organization?

The biggest problem was that I couldn't see our East-West network traffic between our endpoints. However, I could see North-South traffic, meaning anything that went up to the firewall and back. This meant if, for example, a coworker and I were sending something malicious to each other, I wouldn't be able to see it or tell where it was coming from. I might get an alert saying suspicious activity was detected, but wouldn't have specific details.
Implementing an XDR system changed this. Now, I can see all East-West traffic and set up rules for specific actions if certain events occur. I can also filter the information to focus on what's most important. Every day, I review XDR alerts, investigate them, and determine if they're suspicious or not.

We use Trend Vision One - Cloud Security across all our endpoints, including PCs, laptops, and servers. The coverage it provides is extremely important. We leverage Trend Vision's XDR capabilities for enhanced threat detection and response. Additionally, we utilize the Trend Vision One - Cloud Security app security solution. We have Trend Vision One - Cloud Security as a service, and I also manage TippingPoint. Our cybersecurity posture is significantly stronger than it was four years ago. Back then, we were hit by a ransomware attack, which exposed vulnerabilities in our security measures. We were only spending around eight thousand dollars annually on cybersecurity, and as the company grew rapidly, investments in cybersecurity weren't prioritized. While achieving absolute security is impossible, we are demonstrably more secure than ever before.

Trend Vision One - Cloud Security provides centralized visibility. Every day, I log into Vision One and the first thing I check is my risk score. Based on my score, I take action. For example, if my score jumps from 36 to 50, I investigate the change in Vision One. Vision One tells me what caused the increase and offers specific recommendations. I can then easily see what actions will reduce my risk. For example, I might see that fixing a specific vulnerability will lower my score by six points, but another fix won't help. Trend Vision One - Cloud Security is a powerful tool, and that's just a glimpse of its capabilities. It shows me my OS vulnerabilities, application vulnerabilities, and even critical business exposures. For example, it might alert me to an Adobe CBE and tell me which devices are affected. This allows me to quickly identify and patch vulnerable devices. Furthermore, I can directly initiate patching from Vision One. Additionally, I can use integrated products like Container Security for AWS to gain comprehensive security insights across different environments, all within the same platform.

Every day, I start by logging into the Executive Dashboard. It's the first thing I check, as it provides me with my risk index and a summary of potential issues. Furthermore, I can view information about our devices, risk levels, and other relevant data points. After reviewing the Executive Dashboard, I transition to the Operations Dashboard for a more granular look at individual devices and their associated risks.

Before XDR, I could spend hours trying to track down the issue behind an alert. Now, everything is at my fingertips within Vision One. I simply click on the link, and it gives me all the information I need: who the user is, the PC name, and relevant context depending on the alert type e.g., a suspicious email. So, instead of spending hours figuring out the source of the alert, I can now resolve it in just a couple of minutes.

With the managed XDR service, I have peace of mind knowing that if they find something suspicious, they will alert me immediately. They can even call me and say, "Hey, we found some unusual activity and stopped it. Do you want us to continue investigating or revert to the previous state?" I can then confidently say yes and trust that they are handling the situation effectively. I've received calls in the past late at night about suspicious activity, and I'm grateful that I don't have to be the one monitoring everything 24/7. Now, I have a team of experts who do it for me, providing a significant advantage over-relying on a single person. They only alert me when something serious arises, allowing me to focus on other matters.

The managed XDR service has freed up our team's time by eliminating the need for 24/7 on-call duty with Vision One. This allows us to focus on other tasks instead of spending hours diagnosing potential issues. Now, we're able to resolve concerns in minutes, freeing up additional time for projects and other responsibilities.

While I find the Attack Surface Risk Management module to be a valuable addition to the executive dashboard, I don't utilize the Attack Surface Discovery feature as frequently, maybe once a week. This is primarily because I rely on the XDR management system to monitor for potential threats and alert me to anything critical. Manually reviewing the detailed discovery overview doesn't add significant value at present, as I trust the XDR system to flag any urgent issues.

The Attack Surface Risk Management module helps to identify blind spots in our environment, especially where assets are highly exposed. It presents explainable CDZs and provides a rich asset score for each PC or device. This allows me to easily identify high-risk devices and investigate further. For example, when I saw a server with a suspicious file flagged as a 96 high-risk alert, I could investigate and find that it was an Excel file with a macro, explaining the risk. I can then determine if it's a false positive and communicate this appropriately. The module's continuous learning ensures improved accuracy over time.

Implementing the managed XDR has significantly reduced our time to detect and respond to threats. Previously, I received security alerts via email, which could be delayed. Additionally, I often needed to manually review logs and scan results, which was time-consuming and inefficient. Now, the managed XDR provides timely alerts directly in the platform, streamlining my workflow and keeping me informed promptly. This has saved me one to two hours per day.

Implementing a managed XDR solution has significantly reduced the number of false positives I encounter. This allows me to identify and address real issues much faster. Instead of spending 45 minutes tracking down potential threats, I can now simply click a link and determine if an alert is legitimate within three minutes.

We use playbooks that have certain rules and are set up to automatically take action when they find something suspicious. This way, I don't have to sit there and make judgment calls every single day. If a certain event occurs, or if we discover something unexpected, I can create a playbook to automatically start looking for it everywhere on the network.

What is most valuable?

Trend Vision One - Cloud Security does not utilize a lot of resources which allows our users to keep working even during a scan.

What needs improvement?

The workbook insights generate a massive list, making it inconvenient to review. Ideally, we could easily filter or view items by selecting multiple lines and marking them as false positives. Unfortunately, the current process requires manually clicking on each item, opening Trend, and then closing it again.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Trend Vision One - Cloud Security for almost three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

We have had minimal downtime and it was always corrected quickly.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We are an organization of 900 users and I have seen organizations with tens of thousands of users. If we want to add users we just need to add credits and it automatically installs and starts reporting.

How are customer service and support?

We have a dedicated technical account manager assigned to us. I have contacted technical support on two occasions - once for an outage and another time for device cleanup of some old, unused assets that we needed to remove. They responded to me promptly on the same day and resolved the issue the following day.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Before adopting Trend Vision One - Cloud Security, we relied on Kaspersky for endpoint protection. Unfortunately, within the first three months of deployment, we experienced three security incidents. Consequently, we transitioned to OfficeScan, followed by Apex One, and ultimately migrated to Vision One for enhanced protection.

We participate in a VIP program that grants us monthly meetings with Trend, where we provide feedback and receive previews of upcoming features and products.

How was the initial setup?

Trend provided us with a dedicated support person to assist with the initial deployment, which was smooth due to my prior familiarity with their platform. They walked us through the process, outlining the best practices. On our end, we had a team of three, including a sales representative, an engineer, and one other individual, to deploy Trend Vision One - Cloud Security on 900 machines. We implemented the deployment via our group policy, utilizing a simple click-through link for all users.

What was our ROI?

The number of staff and time saved by using the managed XDR pays for itself and we saw these savings right away.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

One year ago, Trend transitioned to a credit system for licensing, which has confused users. While each user receives a set number of credits initially, adding more credits becomes complex. Previously, purchasing a license based on user count was much simpler. Now, even mid-contract, if Trend increases the cost of a product, they also raise the required number of credits until the year's end, further compounding the confusion.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate Trend Vision One - Cloud Security ten out of ten.

No maintenance is required from our end because it automatically updates to the latest version. The only maintenance that we would ever have to do is if a manual patch is required on a device.

Organizations can avoid alert fatigue by filtering their managed XDR solution to only display suspicious activity, allowing the rest of the traffic to flow through unhindered. Additionally, ensuring all patches are applied before running scans can significantly reduce false positives and alert noise. We learned this the hard way, initially receiving 50-100 email alerts daily. By implementing these changes, we've successfully minimized alerts to a maximum of two per day.

Has behavioral rules that are auto-populated based on organizational structure

  • December 12, 2023
  • Review from a verified AWS customer

What is our primary use case?

We use Cloud Security for workload and application security. The company also uses AWS Cloud Conformity. Cloud Security protects us from application-delivered attacks. The solution is protecting our private services, internal customers, and security account holders.

How has it helped my organization?

Trend Vision One - Cloud Security is a core component of our security system, offering total visibility into everyday activities across our cloud environments. The solution has helped us to automate some things. We usually report high-severity issues to our customers, so they can investigate them manually, but our security team can fix these via automation in some cases.

The tool is doing most of the work from the security perspective. We only assess the results. We have Vision One. If anything appears on Vision One, we can act based on the workbench alerts.

What is most valuable?

I like the conformity and workload security modules. Workload security is all about intrusion detection and prevention. Trend Vision One - Cloud Security has behavioral rules that are auto-populated based on organizational structure. That's one aspect that we liked most.

We purchased Trend Vision One - Cloud Security for its multi-cloud capabilities. We already had the same conformity and workload security technologies from Trend Vision that we extended to our cloud workloads. We haven't seen any security incidents in the past six or seven months.

Cloud Security provides useful contextual data. We are integrated with Elasticsearch, so most of the parsing and use cases are also developed there. We have good results from tracking indicators of compromise, and we are generating lists of malicious IPs.

The solution's cloud workload protection is essential because not everyone is good at building workloads based on best practices. It helps us identify misconfigurations or anything like that, so we don't have to worry about it. There is a lot of risk involved. Cloud Security adds another layer of security.

What needs improvement?

Securing S3 using Cloud Security can cost too much. Trend Vision One - Cloud Security has a tool that requires lots of privileges. From my understanding, it's only for static application testing, so they need to add dynamic application testing, and there should be more collaboration with the application testing tools on the market. We have not used this product, and I don't know if they plan to decommission it or something. They should focus on application security because this tool's unique feature is multi-cloud support. However, they should improve integration with tools for these kinds of use cases, especially application security and dynamic scanning. For example, I would like it to support Dell SecureOps. I'd also like to see some enhancements to API gateway security.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have used Trend Vision One - Cloud Security for about two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate Trend Vision One - Cloud Security nine out of 10 for stability.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It's easy to scale. Trend Vision One - Cloud Security is all about scalability and elasticity. It's completely covered by Trend Vision. We're adding licenses annually. This year, we've purchased another 500.

How are customer service and support?

I rate Trend Vision support six out of 10. Their support didn't meet expectations. They should offer more training during onboarding so that everyone on the implementation team is knowledgeable about the product. It was a considerable challenge in a massive environment like ours. We have around 5,000 servers on the cloud. Initially, there was no support for seven or eight months.

This year, we have upgraded to premium support, so we don't have these challenges anymore, but there is a cost involved. If you are selling a product, you have a responsibility to inform the customers about its capabilities.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Trend Vision One - Cloud Security was the first product we purchased for this use case, but we did some POCs for CrowdStrike and found that it didn't have the same coverage of multi-cloud platforms. Trend Vision was the first solution with this capability, and CrowdStrike was lagging at the time, but I'm unsure if the market has changed since then.

CrowdStrike lacked a multi-cloud approach. It covered workload security but not application, storage, and network security. Now, maybe Crowdstrike has these services, but I'm not sure.

How was the initial setup?

We found the product complex to understand initially, but we learned about the use cases and modules step by step. When we were configuring the workload security module, we completely blocked the traffic by accident. We had to take time to understand the company's environment on the cloud and create exceptions.

Eventually, we learned how to automate the deployment. We didn't have any documentation from them. We figured it out ourselves. Now, we can fully deploy the solution in one afternoon. It's hassle-free with the use of automation scripts and automation tools.

We required some specialists, including those who worked on the automation part and those who specialized in some of the native cloud services. For example, in AWS, we needed SSM systems managers to help us push it via SSM agents. They're part of cloud operations, so they handle scripting and build the architecture.

What was our ROI?

Trend Vision One - Cloud Security helps us reduce costs on AWS by optimizing consumption. We can forward our reports to the customers and have them fix the issue. You can minimize costs by only enabling security for business-critical workloads and instances. For example, you can enable application security for apps containing personally identifiable information or an S3 bucket where you're storing some invoices. Trend Vision One - Cloud Security has seven modules that you can choose and customize based on your use cases and requirements.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I was not involved in purchasing the solution, but it's my understanding that Cloud Security is affordable.

What other advice do I have?

I rate Trend Vision One - Cloud Security nine out of 10. My advice to new users is to clearly communicate with support and set an agreement for what you expect from this product and Trend Vision's support team.

We can quickly deploy cloud conformity, provides good visibility, and control

  • October 20, 2023
  • Review from a verified AWS customer

What is our primary use case?

We use Trend Vision One - Cloud Security for our cloud security, but we especially love it because we're multi-cloud. We want a single solution that can help us protect, inspect, and gain information about all of our cloud assets, regardless of whether they're in Microsoft Online, Office 365, Azure, or AWS, where we have most of our workload.

We also love that Trend Vision One - Cloud Security is not just an endpoint solution or a DevSecOps add-on. It also has a source code repository, which allows us to put things in our DevOps pipeline to protect them. Additionally, we can use Cloud Conformity, which is part of Trend Vision One - Cloud Security, to monitor our posture management.

This means that Trend Vision One - Cloud Security is not just a reactive solution that runs software on virtual machines or in containers. It can stop problems in the development process before they even happen, even if the code is still on someone's machine or in the pipeline or repository. This helps us protect ourselves in a way that many other solutions cannot.

Before implementing Trend Vision One - Cloud Security, we were facing all sorts of unknown threats, including third-party vulnerabilities and misconfigurations. We need to protect ourselves from bad actors, but that's only half of it. We also have to protect our infrastructure from ourselves. No one on our team is going to intentionally do anything malicious, but they can make mistakes. And I can't monitor every piece of code or infrastructure that my team writes or has. I need a solution that can monitor our infrastructure continuously and notify us of any misconfigurations or mistakes so that we can fix them before they become major problems.

We deployed Trend Vision One - Cloud Security 100 percent on the cloud and we use AWS and Azure.

How has it helped my organization?

I am satisfied with the protection that Trend Vision One - Cloud Security provides for our multi-cloud environment. I need a single pane of glass that will give me the information I need quickly and easily. I set up Trend Vision One - Cloud Security in one afternoon, which I have done before. With one person, it only takes a day or so. Now, it is so simple to get it into any cloud and give it a small permission set to go in there and read our infrastructure, and then get some valuable insights very quickly.

Trend Vision One - Cloud Security provides us with contextual data, which is especially useful when we are acquiring a company or when I take on a new role and need to quickly understand what they have. Trend Vision One - Cloud Security also helps me to quickly correlate information in the DevSec process, as it protects everything. There are three times when a security vulnerability can be caught: when we write the code, when we deploy the code, or when the code is running. If a vulnerability is not caught until the code is running, we probably made a mistake. We can then go back and look at the first two steps to see where we should have caught the issue. I am 100 percent satisfied with the context provided by Trend Vision One - Cloud Security.

Trend Vision One - Cloud Security protects my cloud workloads. If an attack gets past the first two layers, I still need a way to protect the endpoints, whether they're EC2 instances, virtual machines in Azure, or even on-premises servers. I need a single pane of glass to see all of my endpoints. And let's say there's a zero-day attack, something that no one knew about and couldn't have caught. With Workload Security, I don't need to patch it immediately, even if it's a Windows update. Workload Security can patch it for me and put security tools around it. So we use it for patching and filtering, as well as other security needs. It sits on our virtual machines and whatever cloud we use.

The biggest benefit of Trend Vision One - Cloud Security is its single pane of glass view. Other cloud providers, such as AWS and Azure, offer similar features, but they require multiple dashboards and reports. With Trend Vision One - Cloud Security, I have a single pane of glass view of my entire infrastructure. We also use Trend Vision One - Cloud Security for many security needs, including endpoint protection and Office 365 protection. This gives me a single vendor, a single pane of glass, and a single console to manage the security of all of my platforms.

Trend Vision One - Cloud Security gives us full visibility and control of our cloud environments.

When I am asked difficult questions, or when I am going through an audit or other process, I use its reporting and dashboarding capabilities to get all the information I need in one place. This saves me from having to correlate data from different sources, and it helps me to resolve audit and compliance workflows more quickly.

Visibility helps us resolve complexity in our environment by providing quick snapshots of an account. This is especially useful when I'm trying to get an overview of a new workload or a new company, as it allows us to take a snapshot of the environment to make it easier to ingest.

We buy our subscriptions through the marketplace because it's easier. I don't want to buy credits, because I can use the marketplace as needed. It also allows us to quickly bill the subscriptions to our existing account, so I don't have to set up another vendor or billing terms. I can just quickly use the marketplace, choose the subscriptions I want, and pay as I go. It's perfect.

Conformity would give me a good overview of what infrastructure we are using and where we can potentially save costs by emphasizing the infrastructure that we do not necessarily need.

Trend Vision One - Cloud Security protects me in the cloud, protects my registry, and protects my DevOps pipeline. It is not necessary for Trend Vision One - Cloud Security to protect all of these things. Additionally, Trend Vision in general also protects our Office 365 infrastructure, including SharePoint, Teams, and Outlook.

Protecting all the data across our environment is extremely important these days. No matter what industry we're in, it's crucial to understand our data security protocols, where our data is stored, how it's protected, and how it's accessed. This information gives us a single, overarching view of our data security posture, which helps us to identify and remediate misconfigurations and quickly respond to zero-day attacks or compromises. The sooner we know about a security incident, the fewer repercussions we're likely to experience.

What is most valuable?

Detection response and cloud conformity are valuable features. I like how repository scanning helps us to scan our source code. I think these two features have helped me to detect potential threats before they even occur. I have also used cloud conformity when I start working in a new environment, such as a company with cloud infrastructure. Even if I don't know their workloads, I can quickly deploy cloud conformity to get a good understanding of what they have, how secure it is, and where they can improve.

What needs improvement?

Documentation on cloud architecture and job architecture would be helpful. It would also be enlightening to know what security context we get. 

Trend Vision One - Cloud Security is a really good product overall, including Trend Vision One - Cloud Security. However, their authorization and authentication could be improved. They have too many different ways to log in to their tools, which can be confusing. It would be better if they had just one or two ways to log in.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Trend Vision One - Cloud Security for six years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Trend Vision One - Cloud Security is stable. I have not experienced any outages.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Trend Vision One - Cloud Security is 100 percent scalable.

How are customer service and support?

In the few interactions I have had with technical support, it has been a great experience. The only area where technical support could improve is in communication. They need to be more clear because there was a time when they sent us a communication that did not clearly explain how the issue would affect our environment.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

How was the initial setup?

The initial deployment was straightforward. The first time I deployed the solution, many years ago, it was a very different product than it is today. However, it was still very easy to deploy back then. We provide the solution with IAM keys in AWS, and it provisions our environment. If it is a Windows workload, we install an agent. This process was also very straightforward.

After that, I knew that manual deployment could be a pain, so we wanted to automate it. As soon as a VM spins up, the agent is automatically installed and checks in. Just as importantly, the agent also spins down the VM when it is no longer needed. This is very important in the cloud because we scale our environment up and down based on usage. Unlike on-premises environments, cloud environments are not static.

I think the solution is very easy to get started with, and it scales up and down as our business needs change.

Two people completed the deployment.

What about the implementation team?

The implementation was completed in-house.

What was our ROI?

We have seen a return on investment with Trend Vision One - Cloud Security.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The pricing for Trend Vision One - Cloud Security is reasonable because my costs scale up and down based on my infrastructure usage. If I scale up my infrastructure, such as by adding a new workload, my AWS and security costs will both increase. However, if I scale down my infrastructure, my security costs will also decrease. This is not the case with other vendors, where I may still have to pay for security even if I scale down my infrastructure.

For example, if I implement traditional security measures, such as gate guards and guns, I will still have to pay for these security measures even if I scale down my infrastructure. However, with Trend Vision One - Cloud Security, I am charged based on my usage of security features, such as the number of host-based agents I have deployed, the number of times my DevOps pipeline runs, or the amount of data I store in my repository. This means that I can save money on security costs if my team scales down and my DevOps pipeline slows down.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I've implemented Trend Vision One - Cloud Security four times now, with different companies and organizations. I also spent some time directly with AWS, and I did a lot of work with Palo Alto and their firewalls, both in the cloud and with their Prisma Cloud. It was just a pain. It took so much more time to set up and configure, and the mean time to value was insane compared to Trend Vision One - Cloud Security.

Check Point Firewall in AWS is also a problem. Both of these solutions require us to rearchitect our application, infrastructure, and network design so that we can protect it. That's why we love Trend Vision One - Cloud Security. It's right on the endpoints, instances, or virtual machines. It's a host-based firewall instead of a gate guards and guns mentality of putting something at the front door.

The big difference between the cloud and on-premises is that our house or data center has one front door, one thing to go in and one thing to go out. The cloud is not the case. It's hard to do that gate guards and guns approach with one firewall in the cloud. It's possible, but from a cost perspective, it just doesn't scale. Instead of having one door, we might now have a hundred or a thousand, and we can't put that same firewall over and over again.

So, we have to change how we do security in the cloud, and that's where I think Trend Vision One - Cloud Security really excelled early on. Everyone else didn't get it first. And I think everyone is trying to catch up to Trend Vision One - Cloud Security, but that's why we went with them originally. They changed the way we think about security and how we're going to secure our infrastructure based on our architecture. The other competitors are falling behind, and they're still trying to secure the cloud the same way they secured the data center, which doesn't work from a cost-and-scale perspective.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate Trend Vision One - Cloud Security nine out of ten.

We have about a hundred users. We are still in the early stages of our cloud journey, but I have used Cloud Security with thousands of users in the past. Thousands of daily users access our information and workflows.

Trend Vision approaches our business like a partnership. That's one of the reasons we keep coming back. Anytime I call or need something, Trend Vision One - Cloud Security is there hand-in-hand. If they make a mistake, something gets pushed out, or it doesn't go exactly how it should have, they take ownership. That's the only reason I've been a customer for so long: because they take ownership and they care.

It only takes a couple of hours to set up a proof of concept and get it running. I recommend that organizations try Trend Vision One - Cloud Security for themselves.
