SYDNEY, November 30, 2023 – Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), a global cybersecurity leader, today announced it has achieved the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Built-in Competency in the Security and Cloud Operations category. This designation recognises Trend as an AWS Partner that provides customers with an AWS built-in co-build solution that is designed to automatically install, configure, and integrate with key foundational AWS services using a well-architected modular code repository (MCR) in an automated deployment package validated by AWS experts, increasing the customer’s time to value.

Achieving the AWS Built-in Competency differentiates Trend as an AWS Partner Network (APN) member that built its software solution to include foundational AWS services to help customers achieve their business goals for scale, simplicity, and operational cost control in the cloud. By streamlining the integration process with foundational AWS services like Amazon GuardDuty, AWS CloudTrail, AWS Security Hub, and AWS Organisations, customers can decrease risk, reduce operational overhead, and provide consistent observability in cloud environments.

Ashley Watkins, Vice President, Commercial ANZ for Trend Micro: “We love creating with AWS and the key to this launch was not figuring out what was possible, but rather uncovering what the world needs most to protect digital assets and mitigate the advanced risks we see today. Cloud development is not only more accessible now but far more can be done with less expertise—which is invaluable to all. Innovations are only as powerful as they are secure, which is the role Trend Micro fills in all AWS competencies.”

AWS is enabling scalable, flexible, and cost-effective solutions from startups to global enterprises. To support the seamless integration and deployment of these solutions, the AWS Competency Program helps customers identify AWS Partners with deep industry experience and expertise.

Specifically, Trend/AWS feature integration allows for:

• Accelerated response against vulnerability exploits via automated intrusion detection system and intrusion prevention policy (IDS/IPS) rules for workloads running on AWS
• Enhanced customer risk insight to accelerate SecOps, by leveraging the power of the Trend Vision One™ platform. Receive alerts on any AWS CloudTrail events that trigger a detection model in the Workbench app in Trend Vision One
• Full visibility into and protection of workloads across multiple AWS accounts, to enhance threat protection. Trend Micro™ Workload Security agents are seamlessly deployed every time a new instance is created on AWS accounts, via AWS Systems Manager (Distributor)
• A centralised location for aggregating, organising prioritising and automating remediation of security alerts. Trend Micro™ Container Security sends security findings from runtime protection for Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS)/Kubernetes clusters directy to the AWS Security Hub, for a comprehensive view of security posture across AWS accounts
• Accelerated compliance via automatically secured cloud workloads

“We looked at the options out there, and Trend Micro was the only one who could provide an entire suite in a virtual package” said Chief Technology Officer of Sandstone Technology “Their cybersecurity platform is a single dashboard solution that offers protection for our cloud database and delivers compliance reports at any time and during the 30-day reporting cycle. That made them the easy decision.”
