Comprehensive attack surface coverage and real-world threat emulation strengthen security while licensing models need improvement
Comprehensive Attack Surface includes several features. Omni Attack Surface discovers, assesses, and exploits vulnerabilities across both internal networks and external assets, including cloud environments from a single platform. External Attack Surface Management (EASM) and Internal Network Validation test internal security controls and identify weaknesses within the internal network. Automated Penetration Testing features are provided through the Pentera Surface module. Surface provides automated validation and penetration testing features with a proactive, continuous, and highly realistic approach to cybersecurity validation, helping organizations understand and reduce their true cyber exposure. They have AI-based reporting that leverages AI to identify patterns of exploitability over time, aggregate results across sites, and highlight recurring weaknesses. They offer two types of reports: an elaborate technical report for CTOs and an Executive Summary for management. When customers see the reports after completing the POC, they are impressed by how detailed the technical report is, while management can understand what actions need to be taken to protect their network and infrastructure. Recent Gartner reports indicate that traditional VAPT companies perform vulnerability testing at specific times, which creates security gaps. Pentera provides continuous validation, running 24/7 in the infrastructure. This means when any vulnerability appears due to firmware upgrades, OS updates, or software changes, it can be automatically identified in real-time.

Centralized risk scoring has prioritized real-time vulnerability remediation across our assets
Since we have Trend Micro's other solution on the endpoint, we are using the same endpoint agent with Trend Vision One – Cyber Risk Exposure Management (CREM) to discover all the vulnerabilities we have in the endpoints and the servers, and it helps discover them and also suggest the remediation action that can be performed. What stood out with Trend Vision One – Cyber Risk Exposure Management (CREM) was the vulnerability discovery as well as prioritization that it does by suggesting the top vulnerabilities to focus on, and it also shows the accounts that have been leaked in the dark web, which provides really useful visibility. The best feature of Trend Vision One – Cyber Risk Exposure Management (CREM) in my experience is its integrated capabilities, so if you are a Trend Micro customer for other sensors that you have already deployed, it makes a really good add-on without having to deploy much. This results in an easy onboarding experience. The integrated experience of Trend Vision One – Cyber Risk Exposure Management (CREM) saved a lot of time because we did not have to explicitly do any sort of deployment, and it also helped us to speed up the ROI that we were looking for from the solution. Trend Vision One – Cyber Risk Exposure Management (CREM) has helped impact our organization in a positive way by helping to detect the risk that exists within the organization and bring them out before they actually become an incident for us. Proactive risk scoring and detection is a valuable feature. We have seen with Trend Vision One – Cyber Risk Exposure Management (CREM) that vulnerability detection has become much easier than earlier because we used to follow a three-month cycle for detecting vulnerabilities and then patching things. However, here it is more real-time, which is helping us to save a lot of time. Trend Vision One – Cyber Risk Exposure Management (CREM) has helped us to focus on those vulnerabilities and patch them first rather than go all-in and focus on all the vulnerabilities to be patched. Trend Vision One – Cyber Risk Exposure Management (CREM) is scalable, and I do not see that as a challenge.
