Forrester recognises Trend Micro for leadership in cloud workload security

Trend Micro, a cybersecurity solutions provider, has received several accolades in The Forrester Wave, Cloud Workload Security, Q4 2019 report. The company received the highest score in the current offering and strategy categories, and among the second-highest scores in the market presence category.

Trend Micro believes that this recognition underscores the leadership of its cloud offerings and strategy as the peak of the cloud security market.

“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 Nilesh Jain, VP, Southeast Asia and India, 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.”

Forrester evaluated 13 competitive security vendors across 30 criteria and in three areas: current offering, strategy and market presence.  “The solution is ideal for large firms with broad cloud workload security (CWS) needs across workloads, hypervisors and containers,” the report noted, adding, “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."


Other comments included: “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 optimised protection for workloads running on Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, VMware and Docker, allowing customers to automate deployment for compliance and secure DevOps.


Trend Micro was also named the No. 1 vendor in software-defined compute (SDC) workload protection by IDC in Worldwide Software Defined Compute Workload Security Market Shares, 2018 (DOC #US45638919, published November 2019). The report revealed Trend Micro achieved a market share lead of 35.5%, almost triple its nearest competitor in 2018.
