Unlocking Next-Level APK Security: Trend Micro's Journey with Milvus

Trend Micro, a global leader in cybersecurity, has integrated Milvus, an open-source vector database, into their security infrastructure to enhance APK (Android application package) security. The company initially used MySQL for APK similarity search but faced scalability issues as the dataset grew. They then shifted focus to Faiss, which excelled in speed but lacked critical features required for a production environment. Milvus addressed these challenges with seamless integration with mainstream vector index libraries and simple, intuitive APIs. The implementation of Milvus has resulted in low query latency and high data import speed, significantly enhancing Trend Micro's ability to detect and neutralize harmful APKs.
