The partnership between Certego and Trend Micro gives rise to an advanced solution that combines Certego’s managed services with the vendor’s Trend Vision One platform, bringing to market an unprecedented MDR service.
Certego, a VEM sistemi group company specialized in managed IT security services and the fight against Cybercrime, together with Trend Micro, a global leader in cybersecurity, has developed a proprietary technology solution within its Unified Security Operations cloud platform PanOptikon©. This solution integrates with Trend Vision One™ and provides proactive detection and response protection, unique in the Italian market.
The solution, developed by Certego’s in-house team with the contribution of Trend Micro, is the result of a close collaboration between the two companies, who have worked synergistically over the past year to create it, leading to the establishment of a top-tier technological and commercial partnership. The collaboration goes beyond the offering of a traditional SOC (Security Operations Center) service: it is an advanced service resulting from native integration between the technologies of both vendors, capable of offering clients much more than simple alarm monitoring. By leveraging access to Trend Micro’s telemetry data, the solution delivers all the benefits of a complete XDR platform, while adding further analysis logic and Certego’s threat intelligence data, specifically tailored to the needs of businesses and the Italian cyber landscape. This innovative approach makes the new technology a valuable asset for companies seeking not only protection but also in-depth analysis of threats from the very first signs of potential compromise. Through this synergy, Certego and Trend Micro respond to modern security challenges by offering an unparalleled solution designed to deliver a detection and response service that surpasses traditional offerings, adding concrete value to the entire cybersecurity market.
“We decided to collaborate with Trend Micro because of the proven reliability of their XDR solution, one of the most advanced on the market,” says Bernardino Grignaffini, CEO & Founder of Certego. He continues: “This partnership made it possible to create an exclusive service on the market. Our technology goes beyond the traditional concept of integration and is not limited to simple monitoring; Certego delivers MDR (Managed Detection and Response) services with a proactive approach that goes beyond the typical alert handling of a SOC. We thoroughly analyze attack techniques, tactics, and types to apply our knowledge to Trend Micro’s data, making it fully functional for detection activities. This approach is the distinguishing element of Certego, maximizing the value of Trend Micro’s technology.”
“Our long-standing alliance with the VEM group and collaboration with Certego is a source of pride, allowing us to offer a cutting-edge MDR service that meets the critical cybersecurity needs of modern businesses,” says Salvatore Marcis, Head of Channel and Territory Sales at Trend Micro. “Thanks to our XDR technology and Certego’s analytical and proactive approach, we can deliver tailored protection that goes beyond merely responding to attacks, offering adaptive and integrated security. This partnership enhances our vision of collaborative, continuous defense, maximizing the potential of our technology in the hands of a team of experts.”
Clients who choose Certego’s services with the new technology integrated into the Trend Micro platform will benefit from advanced XDR solutions combined with an MDR service guided by threat intelligence. An added benefit for customers is the complete management of alerts and risks, with notifications not only on incidents but also on potential threats, thanks to continuous and proactive monitoring. Moreover, clients will have real-time access to the dashboards available in PanOptikon, providing a comprehensive and up-to-date view of their company’s security status. The platform goes beyond single alerts, offering detailed reports and dashboards enriched with Trend Micro data, enabling a global and in-depth view of the company’s cyber risk level.
The synergy between Trend Micro and Certego—soon to be awarded the vendor’s “authorized MSSP” qualification—is the result of over twenty years of collaboration between the global cybersecurity leader and the VEM Sistemi group.
The integration between Certego and Trend Micro, combined with the historic partnership with VEM, offers clients a high-level ecosystem that includes centralized and comprehensive management of all phases: installation, configuration, prevention, detection, and response. According to their needs, customers can rely on a pool of highly qualified specialists who will take care of their requirements. This offering is part of V-Secure, the Integrated IT Security Management model developed by VEM sistemi, which covers all four phases of IT Security Governance: Risk Anticipation, Prevention, Detection, and Incident Response. Today, V-Secure can offer endpoint management services enriched by all the advantages of the technological synergy between Certego and Trend Micro.
