Our Take on Why Trend Micro is a Leader in NAV
Unified security. Industry-recognized performance.
Excellent news: we’re proud to share that Trend has been named a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Network Analysis and Visibility Solutions, Q4 2025. To us, this recognition is more than a milestone; and reflects years of focused investment in helping organizations simplify complexity, accelerate investigations, and make decisions that reduce real-world risk.
Our vision for network analysis and visibility (NAV) has always been clear
Security and network teams don’t just need alerts; they need actionable intelligence delivered in real time. That’s where Trend Vision One™ comes in. Our unified AI-powered enterprise cybersecurity platform enables you to combine advanced network telemetry ingestion, extended detection and response (XDR), and cyber risk exposure management, delivering end-to-end visibility and control.
Trend Vision One™ Cyber Risk Exposure Management (CREM) empowers your organization to proactively uncover, assess, and mitigate threats, so you can reduce exposure and build cyber resilience. At the same time, network analytics and visibility (NAV) give you the foundational data that both security operations center (SOC) and network operations center (NOC) teams rely on to monitor, investigate, and respond to threats and operational issues.
Together, these capabilities create a seamless SOC and NOC experience, enabling your teams to anticipate threats, gain visibility across every environment, and act with speed and precision.
Recent investments in agentic SIEM have further strengthened this foundation for NAV. By seamlessly ingesting third-party network telemetry and integrating with XDR, you can expand the reach of our NAV capabilities without forcing your organization to rip and replace existing systems. The focus is on a unified SOC and NOC platform that scales visibility, correlates signals, and streamlines workflows for analysts at every level.
“Trend’s solutions have been a cornerstone of our cybersecurity strategy, providing us with unwavering security, rapid threat detection, and valuable insights during the challenging shift to online operations.”

With proper visibility, you can drive proactive decisions
In today’s complex threat landscape, visibility is power. Your security and network teams must balance proactive strategies that reduce risk with reactive capabilities that accelerate response. CREM enables both.
- Proactive: Eliminate blind spots and prioritize risk
- Uncover unmanaged assets and blind spots across East-West and North-South traffic
- Gain comprehensive network visibility and asset-level intelligence to enable risk-based prioritization and measurable reduction in exposure
- Reactive: Accelerate detection and response
- When incidents occur, CREM provides the telemetry and context needed for you to detect, investigate, and respond quickly
- Leverage incident response across all network assets by correlating detections and surfacing high-fidelity alerts
The Forrester Wave™: Network Analysis and Visibility Solutions, Q4 2025 identifies the strengths of Trend as:
- “Customers appreciate the low barrier to onboarding for new tier-one analysts and frequently mention using its managed service offering.”
- “Trend Micro delivers outstanding threat detection capabilities across East-West and North-South traffic via a best-of-breed approach.”
- “[Trend Vision One] platform embeds NAV capabilities within its XDR and cyber risk exposure management (CREM) offerings, framing security as a risk-informed business decision.”
Why choose Trend for a proactive approach to NAV security
We believe this recognition from The Forrester Wave™ reflects both the strength of our technology and the outcomes you can achieve. Criteria from The Forrester Wave™ in which Trend earned the highest possible scores include:
- East-west and north-south traffic coverage
- Exposed and customizable detection technologies
- Detection accuracy
- Threat analysis
- Threat intelligence
- Dashboards, UI, and analyst workflow
- Protocol coverage
- Compliance monitoring
- Response
- Managed service offering

In our opinion, each of these scores demonstrates that Trend Vision One NAV capabilities aren’t just visibility for visibility’s sake; we provide visibility that enables you to accelerate outcomes, reduce complexity, and build measurable resilience. That resilience is possible because our NAV is not a standalone tool. Its strength comes from being fully integrated into the Trend Vision One platform, which allows you to combine network, endpoint, and risk data, including our CREM continuous risk assessment and asset prioritization for a unified view. This integration means you benefit from shared intelligence, streamlined workflows, and coordinated response across all environments from NAV. CREM provides you with actionable insights so you can prioritize and address the most critical risks.
“We can now make more informed decisions about resource allocation and risk management strategies to ensure that our security efforts are better aligned with business priorities and objectives.”

In today’s threat landscape, visibility without context is no longer enough

- Eliminate blind spots across hybrid environments
- Correlate signals across domains to speed investigations
- Prioritize vulnerabilities based on exploitability and business impact
- Streamline SOC operations through automation and integration
These capabilities aren’t just technical advantages; they allow you to drive meaningful outcomes. With Trend Vision One NAV, your organization can become proactive in its risk reduction strategy.

Benefit from a more resilient, efficient, and aligned security operation where visibility leads to action and action delivers measurable impact.
