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.
