�

HONG KONG, CHINA – Media OutReach – December 10, 2019 – Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), a global leader in
cybersecurity solutions, today announced that it
received the highest score in the current offering and strategy categories, and
among the second highest scores in the market presence category, in The Forrester Wave™: Cloud Workload Security, Q4 2019.
Trend Micro believes that this recognition underscores the leadership of its
cloud offerings and strategy as the peak of the cloud security market.

 

Forrester rigorously evaluated 13 competitive security vendors
across 30 criterion and in three distinct areas: current offering, strategy and
market presence.

 

“We’ve invested significantly in our cloud security offerings,
and I view this report as validation of our vision, continued innovation, and
strong execution,” said Steve Quane, executive vice president of network
defense and hybrid cloud security at Trend Micro. “We were one of the first
security vendors to predict the growing appetite for cloud workload security
solutions, and I think we have hit the bullseye on combining technology,
partnerships and seamless integration of acquisitions over time.”

 

In addition to its comprehensiveness, Forrester recognized Trend
Micro’s cloud security offering in multiple areas including:

 

• “The solution is ideal for large firms
  with broad Cloud Workload Security (CWS) needs across workloads, hypervisors
  and containers.”
• “The OS level, agent-based protections
  are very strong and include malware and memory protection, file integrity
  monitoring, host-based firewall, intrusion detection/intrusion prevention, log
  inspection and application binary control,” the report noted.
• “Role-based access control (RBAC) is
  very flexible for administrators. Container runtime and pre-runtime checks are
  comprehensive, and the solution exposes a broad API for Deep Security policy
  control.”

 

Trend Micro provides optimized protection for workloads running
on Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, VMware and Docker,
allowing customers to automate deployment for streamlined compliance and
seamlessly secure DevOps.
