A Trend Micro Case Study
Fischer Homes, the 31st largest U.S. home builder with about 900 employees, faced growing cybersecurity challenges as it expanded: human error, rising zero‑day threats, and limited visibility into east‑west network traffic and unmanaged assets. A 2020 zero‑day exploit—aggravated by a third‑party misconfiguration—exposed gaps in their defenses and drove the company to strengthen its security posture.
Fischer implemented Trend Vision One (with XDR), Trend Micro Cloud App Security and Cloud Security, plus managed detection and response, to centralize visibility, automate scanning/detection, and manage attack surface risk (including geofiltering). The solution reduced noisy alerts from roughly 70–80 to just one or two, cut investigation time from about 45 minutes to three, improved reporting and mitigation, and freed the lean IT team to focus on higher‑value work.
