Trend Micro’s Chennai event highlights innovation and cyber resilience strategies

Trend Micro, a global leader in cybersecurity solutions, has successfully concluded the Chennai segment of its Risk to Resilience World Tour in India. The event welcomed over 60 attendees from 35 organizations, representing a significant milestone in a tour encompassing seven Indian cities. This tour follows last year’s extensive global engagement across 60 countries, including visits to five major Indian cities so far.

Under the theme “Innovation Meets Adrenaline,” the event facilitated in-depth discussions on contemporary cyber resilience, the integration of Extended Detection and Response (XDR) with Attack Surface Risk Management (ASRM), and effective strategies for cloud risk mitigation.

Sharda Tickoo, Country Manager for India & SAARC at Trend Micro, emphasized the strategic importance of Chennai for Trend Micro, stating, “Chennai has long been a cornerstone of Trend Micro’s strategic growth in India, with over 16 years of deep-rooted partnerships with leading enterprises. As the demand for advanced cybersecurity solutions intensifies, we are seeing a marked increase in the adoption of XDR technology, particularly among large enterprises. Our AI-powered XDR platform is not just a tool, but a critical enabler for SOC analysts, enhancing their ability to make informed decisions, conduct guided investigations, and proactively hunt threats. Trend Micro’s enduring relationships with industry leaders in the region underscore the mutual trust and shared vision that drive our continued success in this dynamic region.”

The event included a panel discussion on the theme "Winning Strategies for Cyber Consolidation & Communication," featuring Dhanasekaran Madaswamy, Cybersecurity Leader at L&T Technology Services, and Senthil Kumar S, CISO at Karur Vysya Bank, moderated by Vishu Kumar, Team Lead - Enterprise Accounts, South at Trend Micro. During the discussion, Senthil Kumar S underscored the increasing significance of AI in XDR and SOC operations, noting that as attackers increasingly exploit AI, it is crucial for defenders to integrate AI into their daily operations, strategic monitoring, and overall cybersecurity strategy.

Moreover, addressing the ongoing challenges related to talent retention and skill acquisition in the cybersecurity sector, Dhanasekaran Madaswamy emphasized the need for clear job descriptions, continuous learning from technology and tools perspective along with enhanced collaboration with the education sector to ensure that future cybersecurity professionals gain the necessary hands-on experience.

A recent Trend Micro report places India as the fifth most targeted nation globally for ransomware attacks, with the Manufacturing, Government, and Banking sectors being the most affected by malware. In response to the increasing complexity of cyberattacks, especially with the rise of Generative AI, Trend Micro has extended its Risk to Resilience World Tour to seven Indian cities this year. This expansion aims to share advanced strategies for enhancing organizational resilience and building enduring partnerships.

Trend Micro also recently announced a partnership with NVIDIA to develop AI-powered cybersecurity tools for data centers.
