First of its kind partnership begins with integrated shield and fix approach to open source vulnerabilities for DevOps

�

HONG KONG, CHINA – Media OutReach – October 10, 2019 – Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), a global leader in
cybersecurity solutions, today announced a strategic partnership with Snyk, the leader in developer-first open
source security. The partnership will focus on solving the unrelenting challenge
that open source vulnerabilities create for developers, stemming from
code-reuse, public repositories and open source.

Together, Trend Micro and Snyk will help businesses manage the
risk of vulnerabilities without interrupting the software delivery process. The
combination of open source vulnerability intelligence from Snyk and Trend Micro
will result in the most comprehensive ability to detect vulnerabilities for
teams operating in a DevOps environment. Once vulnerabilities in containers are
identified, Trend Micro is the shield and Snyk is the fix that combine for
streamlined remediation and risk mitigation.

 

“When it comes to DevOps, Trend Micro gets it,” said Geva
Solomonovich, chief operating officer at Snyk. “We’re excited to partner with
Trend Micro to bring their enterprise customers an easy and scalable way to fix
open source vulnerabilities. Together, we will continue to help organizations
improve their ability to find vulnerabilities earlier in the development
process and provide options for how to mitigate and prevent risk in software
development.”

 

One of the key challenges for enterprise customers today is the
need for speed in developing applications. Speed and efficiency is gained by
leveraging open source code. Gartner reports,¹ ”Open-source
software is used within mission-critical IT workloads by over 95% of the IT
organizations worldwide, whether they are aware of it or not.” Research from Snyk
also found that those vulnerabilities in open source libraries are growing
rapidly, nearly doubling in two years.²

 

“Snyk’s approach and trust they’ve built directly with the
development community is unmatched,” said Kevin Simzer, chief operating officer
at Trend Micro. “Our collaboration demonstrates both companies’ understanding
of the tools developers need and how we can provide security without getting in
their way. This strategic partnership is the start of future collaboration as
we both work to secure the DevOps workflow.”

 

Additional terms of the ongoing partnership and product
integration will be announced in November, 2019. For more information please
