Predatar and Trend Micro Renew Their Partnership

UK-based cyber recovery firm Predatar Ltd. and Trend Micro, Inc. announced a renewed partnership which will see Trend Micro Vision One, a compressive threat defence and detection platform incorporated into Predatar’s latest Cyber Recovery CleanRoom.

The new agreement eliminates previous deployment complexities by enabling Predatar to embed the Vision One platform directly into their CleanRoom SaaS solution.

The powerful combination of Predatar and Trend Micro gives users recovery confidence by allowing them to proactively validate their ability to recover quickly and safely from backups and snapshots before a crisis hits.

Since launching the original CleanRoom nearly 5 years ago, Predatar has relied on Trend Micro’s XDR capabilities to deliver threat detection, analysis and response. However, requiring customers to procure Trend Micro licences separately introduced friction in the buying and onboarding processes.

Predatar’s third generation CleanRoom changes that. As part of its complete redesign, Predatar’s R&D team explored a range of alternative XDR tools – including other products and open-source options. After extensive testing, Trend Micro remained the clear choice, consistently outperforming competitors across key criteria including detection speed, integration simplicity and overall resilience.

Ian Richardson, CTO, Predatar, explains: “The quality of the XDR technology at the heart of Predatar is non-negotiable, but achieving a frictionless experience for our customers is key to the success of CleanRoom 3.“

Through collaboration with the licencing team at Trend Micro, the 2 companies have reached an agreement that overcomes the procurement challenges created by the way Predatar leverages Trend Micro technology. Predatar’s CleanRoom 3 is available – shipping with Trend Micro Vision One, incorporating Trend Micro’s XDR engine yet. And what’s more, the required licencing is baked in too.

The new agreement has streamlined the procurement and deployment of Predatar’s recovery assurance technology.

Jonathan Lee, cybersecurity director, Trend Micro, commented: “Predatar’s technology brings a differentiated approach to cyber recovery, and the integration of our platform further enhances its capabilities. This collaboration reflects the strength of our partnership and our shared commitment to overcoming challenges and delivering continuous innovation.“
