Trend Micro

Jon Clay is Trend Micro‘s vice president of threat intelligence. He said like so many other leading tech companies, Trend Micro is “desperately making humanitarian efforts to support citizens, customers and partners in Ukraine.”

“We do have employees located within Ukraine and are doing everything we can to support them,” he said. “Our solution/protection operations are cloud-based and not located within this country. And so these are not being affected by the current situation.”

Trend Micro research and threat hunters continue to monitor the company’s global threat intelligence for any indications of new attacks or threats that are associated with this situation, Clay said.

“We are protecting against all the known threats that have been shared publicly,” he said. “And we also look to include any early warning malware or tools used by malicious actors in their attacks to help improve our customers’ ability to detect an attack early in the infection chain. This also includes recent scams (i.e. bogus charities) and misinformation campaigns targeting consumers. We will continue to collect, analyze, identify and protect any new threats or attacks which are found.”

Trend Micro offers incident response services and support help for any partners/customers who are affected, and will continue to ensure its customers are protected against the known threats and any new threats that are identified, Clay said.

“Additionally, our team of experts is constantly updating our resource center on our website, with everything from existing indicators of compromise (IoCs), insights into recent cyberattacks and tips for improving cyber-resilience to keeping your organization and family safe during this crisis,” he said. “This is available to anyone looking for guidance, and is available here.”
