Case Study: Trend Micro achieves real-time APK threat detection with Milvus from Zilliz

Enhancing APK Security with Milvus at TrendMicro

Trend Micro, a global security software leader, faced scalability challenges in its mobile APK security analysis. Its existing system, which used MySQL and the Faiss library, could not handle the rapidly growing dataset of tens of millions of vectors with daily increments in the hundreds of thousands. The solution lacked data management, high availability, and distributed scalability, creating bottlenecks for its real-time threat detection efforts.

By implementing the Milvus vector database from Zilliz, Trend Micro gained a robust and scalable solution. Milvus integrated seamlessly with existing libraries and provided a distributed architecture with high availability. The results were significant, with the system achieving an end-to-end query latency of under 95 milliseconds and the capability to ingest 3 million vectors in under 10 seconds, enabling effective real-time threat detection at scale.
