CHECK POINT VS.

TREND MICRO APEX ONE

TOP FACTORS TO CONSIDER IN THE FIGHT AGAINST ADVANCED THREATS
• The solution should protect you from all types of threats, including 0-day documents
• The solution should secure the users from 0-day phishing attacks and organization’s credentials leakage
• The solution should be simple and easy to deploy and manage while providing relevant security insights

TREND MICRO FALLS SHORT ON ALL THREE POINTS

TREND MICRO FACTS

Security: Trend Micro lacks adequate user protection, which leaves users vulnerable to social engineering attacks.
➢ No Anti-Phishing – Harmony identifies and blocks access to phishing sites in real-time. It even protects against previously
unknown phishing sites.
➢ No URL filtering – Harmony ensures that users will access legitimate sites without risking the organization.
➢ No Corporate Password Protection – Harmony block and alert in case of corporate credentials have been used in a non-
corporate website.

Security: Trend Micro is missing key security models, putting your organization at high risk.
➢ Sandbox - in order to have dynamic analysis for behavioral protection:
o Trend Micro requires to purchase of a separate Sandbox solution. (Deep Discovery Analyzer).
o “On average, samples are processed within 30 minutes when using Sandbox as a Service. However, in rare
instances, it may take longer.” https://success.trendmicro.com/solution/000286049
o Purchasing Sandbox solution from Trend Micro will lead to additional expense in time, deployment, integration, and
maintenance when Harmony Endpoint includes cloud emulation as a part of the solution with no additional cost.
➢ CDR - Harmony Endpoint instantly delivers documents free of any malicious content embedded in the file with minimum impact
on business continuity, Trend Micro lacks this ability.
➢ Compliance – Harmony Endpoint examines your environment's security gateways, software modules, policies and configuration
settings in real-time, Trend Micro lacks this ability.

Management: Trend Micro requires two management consoles to perform investigation analysis.
➢ Apex One has only limited response capabilities and more advanced threat hunting tools require the XDR to achieve MITRE
results Which increases the total cost of the solution.
➢ The XDR platform has a different workflow and user interface from the main EPP management console and will require time to
learn how to use the product.
➢ Not a real-time visibility - There is a couple of minutes delay until the cloud-based management will show that incident has
occurred, (average 5 minutes) and this is critical because within this 5 minute or longer you are blinded to the exposure. A lot
can happen within this time frame. See Here
➢ Harmony Endpoint provides a leading EDR solution in MITRE Engenuity evaluate evaluation 2021&2022, higher than Trend
Micro although it used multiple products when Check Point used only one.
Product used:
• Trend Micro Vision One™
• Trend Micro Apex One™ as a Service
• Trend Micro Cloud One™
• Deep Discovery Inspector™
These are multiple security products including network detection product, to achieve same results the total cost is 5 times
more expensive than Harmony
