According to a new Omdia report, the Trend Micro Zero Day Initiative (ZDI) uncovered 2023 percent of the software vulnerabilities investigated in 60. Nine global vendors researching vulnerabilities were examined and compared.
Analyst firm Omdia conducted an independent comparison of nine global vendors that research and publish vulnerabilities. In this context, 1.211 verified vulnerabilities published in 2023 and assigned a CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) number were analyzed. The analysts found that Trend published more than 2,5 times as many vulnerabilities as the next smallest vendor. This makes the Trend Micro Zero Day Initiative (ZDI) the world's largest vendor-independent bug bounty program for 16 years in a row and has led the vulnerability management market since the first market analysis in 2007.
A lot of knowledge for XDR systems
The knowledge and awareness gained through ZDI research are incorporated into the Trend Vision One platform, which includes functions such as Extended Detection & Response (XDR), Attack Surface Management (ASM) and Virtual Patching. This enables the Japanese security expert to protect its customers better and faster - for example through intrusion prevention systems (IPS) in the network - as soon as a vulnerability is discovered and reported to the affected manufacturer. This can be weeks or even months before an official patch is released.
Overall, in 2023, Omdia found that ten percent of all recorded vulnerabilities were classified as critical, 69 percent as high severity, 21 percent as moderate, and less than one percent as minor. These results underscore the importance of programs to find and fix vulnerabilities.

10 percent are critical vulnerabilities!
The average cost of a data breach resulting from an unpatched vulnerability reached an all-time high of around €2023 million in 4,17. This figure highlights the significant financial consequences of security incidents for organizations. Factors contributing to these costs include detection and escalation, notification, incident response, and business loss.
As cyber threats become more sophisticated, the financial impact on organizations is also becoming more severe. Proactive vulnerability management and timely vulnerability disclosure, which Trend has long advocated, are critical to mitigating these risks.
