Trend Micro was an early AWS Partner and AWS Marketplace seller, and worked with AWS for the launch of AWS Marketplace Vendor Insights. Trend Micro continues to deepen its relationship with AWS, adding the updated AWS Security Competency and the AWS Healthcare Competency to its list of AWS validated qualifications in Q3 2022. These latest innovation milestones have helped to expand Trend Micro's vision for end-to-end cloud security, built around its unified cloud security platform, which delivers visibility and added control across the enterprise.

"Trend Micro has been a huge advocate of AWS Marketplace from the very beginning, so we're delighted to receive this award in recognition of our long-time relationship with AWS," said Kevin Simzer, COO, Trend Micro. "Q3 was our biggest quarter ever for AWS Marketplace sales, which soared 150% year-on-year while recording 80% ARR growth. It's become an indispensable channel for us."

"It's about time-to-market, ease-of-use, and that Trend Micro offers a full, ready-to-go SaaS solution�those are all huge value-adds for us. And the pricing in AWS Marketplace is always right. I haven't seen another security vendor that can provide the same level of service at anywhere near the cost," said MJ DiBerardino, CEO, Cloudnexa.
