Trend Micro welcomes the continued transparency and shared commitment to improving email security outcomes, as Microsoft highlights its latest Defender for Office 365 performance benchmarks.
In today’s AI-driven threat landscape, organisations need more than baseline protection. They need proven, proactive, adaptive, and deeply integrated defences.
Trend Vision One™ Email & Collaboration Security is purpose-built to meet this challenge. Our platform goes beyond traditional detection and outperforms native email security solutions by proactively managing human risk and identifying high-impact threats in real-time, especially those that bypass Microsoft 365™ and Google Workspace™.
As Attackers Evolve, So Must Defences.
While Microsoft’s methodology is a step forward, Trend Vision One™ Email and Collaboration Security sets a higher standard, delivering proactive security measures with visibility, prioritisation and mitigation outcomes.
What Sets Trend Apart?
Email and Collaboration Security enables safe communication and seamless collaboration, with unmatched protection powered by advanced AI, centralised visibility, and operational simplicity. With platform-wide data & behavioural analytics, it proactively identifies accounts compromised by sophisticated phishing attacks. These capabilities empower organisations to stay ahead of evolving threats and proactively manage human risk with accuracy, speed and precision.
- Proven Detection of Phishing that bypasses Microsoft 365 & Google Workspace
Email and Collaboration Security consistently identifies high-risk threats that evade native email defences. The 2025 Email Threat Landscape Report shows how our AI-driven detection outperforms baseline filters—delivering superior accuracy and resilience.
- Centralised Visibility & Management across Platforms
Microsoft Defender for Office 365 provides visibility within the Microsoft ecosystem. Our Email and Collaboration Security goes further by offering centralised management across email gateway, email and collaboration apps, and third-party integrations—enabling SOC teams to operate with full context and control.
- AI-driven XDR across Email, Identity, Endpoint, Network & Cloud
While Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is positioned within Microsoft’s XDR framework, its focus remains limited to email and Teams. Unlike Microsoft’s email-centric approach, Email and Collaboration Security is part of a broader XDR ecosystem. It correlates signals across multiple domains to detect complex attack chains and accelerate response—enhancing security posture across the enterprise.
- Inline Enforcement for Real-Time Threat Blocking
Email and Collaboration Security enforces security policies directly within email flows, blocking threats before they reach users. This reduces dwell time and prevents lateral movement—an essential capability not emphasised in Microsoft’s approach.
- BEC Authorship & Writing Style Analysis
Email and Collaboration Security applies behavioural and linguistic analysis to detect Business Email Compromise (BEC) attacks—identifying subtle anomalies in writing style, tone, and sender behaviour. This proactive layer is unique to Trend and critical for managing human-targeted threats—an advanced layer not covered in Microsoft’s methodology.
- File Sanitization for Embedded Threat Removal
Email and Collaboration Security sanitises attachments and embedded content in real-time, removing hidden threats before delivery. This proactive measure adds a critical layer of defence against weaponized files — an advanced layer not covered in Microsoft’s methodology.
- Broader Cloud App Coverage Beyond Microsoft Ecosystem
Our solution secures collaboration platforms like Google Drive, Box, and Dropbox, ensuring protection across diverse environments. Microsoft’s coverage is limited to its own ecosystem (Microsoft 365 & Teams).
- Simplified Deployment & Flexible Licencing
Trend’s credit-based licencing model allows customers to activate advanced features like DMARC, DLP, and Encryption without added complexity, accelerating time-to-value and reducing operational overhead. Microsoft’s article does not address deployment challenges, making Trend’s simplicity a clear advantage.
Built for the AI Era.
Since 2019, Trend has successfully and consistently detected and stopped phishing attacks that made it past traditional Microsoft 365™ and Google Workspace™ protection. In fact, our latest Email Threat Landscape Report shows how Trend detects high-risk threats missed by native email platforms, providing critical protection where others fall short.
Our AI-driven correlated intelligence is powerful and proven. Email and Collaboration Security leverages AI-driven correlated intelligence detection to analyse user relationships, communication flows, and email interactions to detect sophisticated email threats.
With continuous enhancements in AI-driven correlated intelligence, we were able to excel at detecting high-risk email threats, sophisticated phishing attacks, BEC, ransomware, scams, and more. Notably, QR-code phishing played a significant role in the 27% increase in threat detections from 2023 to 2024, underscoring the rising sophistication of email-based attacks.
