Trend Micro is a cloud security pioneer. And for over 30 years, we\u2019ve worked hand in hand with the channel to make the digital world a safer place. So we\u2019re delighted to receive more recognition of the value we\u2019re adding for partners and customers with the release of the latest CRN Cloud 100<\/a> list.<\/p>\n

This comes on the heels of another great recognition as Trend Micro was recently awarded the AWS Marketplace Partner of the year during AWS re:Invent 2022 in reflection of our long-standing strategic partnership.<\/p>\n

Cloud security means business<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s difficult to find an organization today that isn\u2019t ramping up its cloud migration strategy. Gartner forecasts<\/a> total global spending on public cloud services to hit nearly $592bn this year, up 21% on last year. But as more business-critical services are pushed out to third-party data centers, the corporate attack surface of countless organizations expands.<\/p>\n

In-house skills and know-how are struggling to keep pace with the rate of migration and the speed at which cloud providers (CSPs) innovate with new features. Developer teams are exposed via their insatiable use of open-source components, while account misconfigurations are commonplace. And visibility and control are harder for security teams in the cloud, thanks to dynamic and ephemeral assets like containers and virtual machines which need protecting wherever they appear. The market needs cloud vendors it can trust, to simplify the complex without compromising on security.<\/p>\n

Cloud-first for over a decade<\/span><\/p>\n

CRN\u2019s \u201ccoolest cloud security companies\u201d list is designed to highlight vendors which have \u201cdemonstrated innovation in cloud-based technology development.\u201d Well, with over 3,000 global engineers researching the latest threats, innovation is not something we\u2019re short of at Trend Micro. We were among the very first vendors to spot the promise of cloud computing and the need to secure workloads. That\u2019s why we\u2019re one of AWS\u2019s oldest technology partners and work closely with all the leading cloud platform providers today.<\/p>\n

Our focus is on streamlining and automating security as much as possible to deliver a continuous risk management and take the pressure off IT teams. With the launch of Trend Cloud One<\/a>, this approach took another leap forward with platform-based security designed to help organizations gain continuous visibility into their attack surface and manage risk across it. Research shows<\/a> that over two-fifths (43%) of global organizations feel their attack surface is \u201cspiraling out of control,\u201d with cloud cited as the biggest potential blind spot.<\/p>\n

With Trend Cloud One, customers and partners get security built for the hybrid cloud world \u2013 protecting cloud networks, workloads, containers, and endpoints, as well as delivering security for serverless architectures, file storage, and open source components, and security and compliance posture management. Our platform approach is designed to:<\/p>\n
