Trend Micro unveils Agentic SIEM to automate & streamline security
Trend Micro has launched Agentic SIEM, an artificial intelligence-powered security solution designed to address the longstanding challenges faced by traditional Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems. SIEM challenges Security Information and Event Management systems are relied upon by organisations to detect and respond to cyber threats. However, users of traditional SIEM solutions regularly cite challenges around high costs, operational complexity, alert overload, and passive data storage. Manual setup and static parsing also reportedly hinder effective management of the increasing variety and volume of contemporary data sources. The newly-announced Agentic SIEM deploys agentic AI to automate and improve key tasks, acting independently to reduce the number of alerts and streamline the workload of security teams. The platform is designed from the outset to utilise AI-driven capabilities in detecting, learning from, and responding to threats with minimal human intervention. Integration and scale Agentic SIEM supports over 900 data sources from launch, with integration options not only for Trend's proprietary XDR security sensors but also for third-party telemetry. This aims to provide a more comprehensive view of the security environment. The solution also offers three-day onboarding for new log types, with an aim to reduce this further to three hours by 2026. Data retention features include up to seven years of archival storage and two years of analytics retention, supporting both compliance and threat hunting requirements. Agentic SIEM is built to complement Trend's digital twin technology, enabling proactive risk mitigation across sectors such as healthcare, supply chains, predictive maintenance, and smart infrastructure. Industry perspective "As the cybersecurity stack increasingly becomes AI driven, the security data layer must evolve to support data-hungry agentic capabilities, including infusing agentic AI into core SIEM functions. Trend Vision One Agentic SIEM enters the SIEM market at a pivotal time, leveraging Agentic AI from the ground up to drive speed, performance, and a new level of risk-driven, contextual insights to rapidly mitigate cyber threat activity." This observation from Dave Gruber, Principal Cybersecurity Analyst at ESG, reflects current industry expectations for greater automation and intelligence in responding to security challenges. Workload automation The system employs agentic AI to map and optimise data flows swiftly, automating tasks that previously took security teams weeks to configure and manage. Trend Micro states that this immediate reduction in manual effort allows security professionals to concentrate on strategic and analytical work instead of routine monitoring and response. "Agentic SIEM is a major stepping stone to our long-term vision for full, AI-driven SecOps. It's a future in which security teams will have more time to work on strategic tasks, safe in the knowledge that our agentic AI has their backs. With this launch, Trend is once again laying down a marker for cybersecurity innovation and global market leadership." This was the statement from Mick McCluney, ANZ Field CTO at Trend. Use cases According to Trend Micro, Agentic SIEM can facilitate a range of use cases including automated threat detection and response, streamlined compliance support, and enhanced incident investigation. By performing autonomous data analysis, correlating information from multiple sources, and retaining extensive historical data, the system aims to reduce investigation timeframes and improve accuracy. The combination of Agentic SIEM with digital twin technology is intended to bolster cyber resilience and compliance further. Trend Micro points to prospective benefits in environments where virtual models and real-time data integration can inform risk mitigation, such as in healthcare operations, supply chain security, smart building management and predictive maintenance scenarios.

Infoblox Enhances Threat Defense to Boost DNS Security
Home » Emerging technologies » Cyber Security » Infoblox Enhances Threat Defense to Boost DNS Security Infoblox, has announced major enhancements to its Protective DNS solution, Infoblox Threat Defense. The upgrade is aimed at helping organizations counter advanced, AI-driven cyber threats with preemptive DNS security. The company revealed that as cybercrime costs approach $23 trillion by 2027, traditional 'detect and respond' tools are no longer sufficient. Attackers are now using AI to launch stealthy, single-use malware and phishing attacks, increasing the risk of any organization becoming 'patient zero.' Infoblox reported that its Threat Defense solution blocks high-risk domains an average of 68 days earlier than conventional tools. It achieves this through predictive threat intelligence and machine learning-based detection. The platform maintains a false positive rate of just 0.0002%, one of the lowest in the industry. Mukesh Gupta, Chief Product Officer at Infoblox, compared the company's approach to targeting cyberattack infrastructure before attacks occur, rather than responding after the damage is done. This strategy helps security teams reduce risk and stop threats at the DNS layer. Key updates to the platform include: Protection Before Impact: Offers metrics on threats blocked before causing harm, demonstrating security ROI.

Provides context for protected assets, aiding investigation. Token-Based Licensing: Simplifies procurement and aligns cost with protected assets. Infoblox also powers Google Cloud's DNS Armor, offering native DNS security for cloud workloads, currently in public preview. The company noted that by stopping threats earlier, its solution lightens the load on traditional detect-and-respond tools like XDR and SIEM. Infoblox's approach supports Gartner's prediction that preemptive cybersecurity will replace 40% of reactive tools by 2028. The strategy is aligned with NIST SP 800-81, which highlights DNS as a key early-warning system. Infoblox CEO Scott Harrell emphasized that legacy systems reliant on 'patient zero' no longer suffice against AI-enabled threats. Nathan Sinclair, Chief Information Security Officer for the City and County of San Francisco, said Infoblox eliminated a major blind spot in their DNS visibility. He added that the solution has helped block exploits and strengthen their cybersecurity posture. Infoblox continues to evolve its DNS security capabilities, helping organizations take a proactive stance against evolving cyber threats.
