Advanced threat hunting saves significant time in tracking and responding to incidents
Microsoft Defender XDR could be improved with a lower price. My main suggestion would essentially be what Copilot is providing, which is a single pane of glass, so I don't have to go to different windows. That's just a workflow consideration for me. It would be great to have all the information centralized into one particular data app. If I need to open up extra ones, I can, however, I would appreciate a future where everything I need is right there on one single pane of glass. Beyond that, there's really nothing else I see that I would want Microsoft to improve.

The executive dashboard offers centralized visibility for added security
We are currently utilizing all three components of Trend Vision One across our entire infrastructure. Trend Vision One is deployed on our servers, provides anti-spam measures for our email through a cloud solution, and functions as an antivirus solution on end-user devices. All three products are sourced from Trend Micro. Trend Vision One - Cloud Security offers centralized visibility across all protection layers, enabling 24/7 monitoring of our environment and immediate issue resolution. If needed, we can also submit a ticket to Trend Micro for assistance. The executive dashboard helps identify abnormalities by highlighting them, allowing for immediate action. The primary benefit of implementing Trend Vision One has been the noticeable increase in network security. Since its implementation, we have observed a significant reduction in attacks on our network. Trend Vision One consolidates security across our network, enabling rapid response capabilities. Trend Vision One helps decrease our threat detection and response time. The platform suggests system improvements as needed, which we then review and implement. Trend Vision One helps decrease the time spent investigating false positives.
