Global cybersecurity company Trend Micro announced the signing of a definitive agreement to acquire Anlyz, a Bengaluru-based provider of security operations centre (SOC) technology. 

The deal encompasses intellectual property, industry expertise and more than 40 technical employees all focused on bolstering Trend’s security platform strategy. With this acquisition, the company will expand its engineering team of over 3,000, adding a new research & development centre in Bengaluru, India.

The acquisition will extend Trend Micro’s orchestration, automation and integration capabilities and will enable enterprises and Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) to improve operational efficiencies, cost effectiveness and security outcomes.

The acquisition will also mean that Trend Micro’s enterprise customers will benefit from a comprehensive extended detection and response (XDR) and incident response orchestration platform that can maximise analyst productivity and help relieve resource constraints.

“We are happy to welcome the Anlyz team into the Trend family – together we are increasing SOC effectiveness and reducing both the technology and resources burdens,” said Kevin Simzer, Chief Operating Officer at Trend Micro. “Due to market pressure, we see organisations moving past security point-solutions experiments in preference for platform breadth that allows for vendor consolidation, maximised return on investments and efficiencies.” 

Trend Micro and Anlyz have been technology alliance partners since 2021 and share more than 30 joint customers that are positioned to move forward quickly to capitalise on the opportunities ahead. 

Anlyz has primarily focused on security orchestration and case management delivering powerful SOAR capabilities for MSSPs to manage the incident response process across multiple clients. It also offers intelligent log aggregation enabling data ingestion and enrichment across a range of data sources and security solutions, using a high performance, scalable architecture. Trend will leverage Anlyz’s SOAR solution and rich set of product connectors to broaden its platform and enable additional integration and automation options across customers’ IT ecosystems.
