Cyber Threats
The latest Omdia Vulnerability Report shows Trend Micro™ Zero Day Initiative™ (ZDI) spearheaded 60% of 2023 disclosures, underscoring its role in cybersecurity threat prevention.

In the constantly evolving domain of cybersecurity, vigilance against vulnerabilities is crucial for protecting organizational assets. A recent report by Omdia has highlighted Trend Micro™ Zero Day Initiative™ (ZDI) as a major force in this arena. According to the report, Trend was responsible for 60% of vulnerability disclosures in 2023.
Breaking down the numbers, Trend disclosed 57% of critical severity vulnerabilities.
58% of high severity vulnerabilities were disclosed by Trend.
68% of medium severity vulnerabilities were disclosed by Trend.
This impressive track record underscores why companies should consider partnering with Trend for their cybersecurity needs.
What is Trend’s Zero Day Initiative?
Trend’s Zero Day Initiative (ZDI) was created to encourage the reporting of 0-day vulnerabilities privately to the affected vendors by financially rewarding researchers. At the time, there was a perception by some in the information security industry that those who find vulnerabilities are malicious hackers looking to do harm. Some still feel that way. While skilled, malicious attackers do exist, they remain a small minority of the total number of people who discover new flaws in software.
Incorporating the global community of independent researchers also augments our internal research organizations with the additional zero-day research and exploit intelligence. This approach coalesced with the formation of the ZDI, launched on July 25, 2005.
Trend’s ZDI operates as a global community of security researchers and experts dedicated to identifying and addressing the latest cybersecurity vulnerabilities. The approach is proactive: instead of waiting for vulnerabilities to be exploited in the wild (zero-day vulnerabilities), Trend works to discover, disclose, and help mitigate these issues before they can be exploited maliciously. Today, Trend’s ZDI is the world’s largest vendor-agnostic bug bounty program. Their approach to the acquisition of vulnerability information is different than other programs. No technical details concerning the vulnerability are sent out publicly until the vendor has released a patch. Should the vendor not release a patch within 120 days, select details of the vulnerability are published on Trend’s ZDI website. This disclosure timeline ensures vendors do not ignore the report.
The Significance of Trend’s Dominance in Vulnerability Disclosures
1. Comprehensive Threat Coverage: Trend’s role in 60% of all vulnerability disclosures demonstrates its extensive reach and capability in identifying security flaws across various platforms and technologies. This ensures that companies relying on Trend and it’s Vision One platform receive thorough protection against a broad spectrum of threats.
2. Breaking Down Severity:
3. Proactive Risk Mitigation: By disclosing vulnerabilities before they are exploited, Trend allows companies to implement necessary patches and defenses. This proactive approach minimizes the window of exposure and reduces the risk of successful cyberattacks.
4. Trust and Reliability: The high percentage of disclosures by Trend builds trust in its capabilities. Companies can rely on Trend’s findings to make informed decisions about their cybersecurity strategies, knowing they are backed by one of the most active and reliable initiatives in the field.
According to IBM’s annual Cost of a Data Breach Report, the average cost of a data breach due to an initial access unknown (0-day) vulnerability in 2023 reached an all-time high of $4.45 million. This figure underscores the significant financial impact that security incidents can have on organizations. Factors contributing to these costs include detection and escalation, notification, post-breach response, and lost business.
Given Trend’s significant role in vulnerability disclosures, leveraging Trend to help manage enterprise attack surface risk is a natural for global enterprises, delivering compelling customer value:
Conclusion
The Omdia report underscores the pivotal role of Trend Micro’s Zero Day Initiative in the cybersecurity landscape. Trend’s ZDI program has been responsible for the majority of coordinated vulnerability disclosures over the last decade, and that trend looks to continue in 2024 and beyond. By leveraging Trend’s proactive and comprehensive approach to vulnerability management, organizations can stay ahead of potential threats, ensuring their digital assets are safeguarded against emerging cyber risks.
In a world where cyber threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated, the expertise and proactive measures offered by Trend provide a vital layer of defense, making it an essential partner for any organization committed to robust cybersecurity and better attack surface risk management.
