Trend Micro gets 2024 Customer's Choice for cloud security

Trend Micro has been recognised as a 2024 Gartner Peer Insights Customers' Choice for Cloud-Native Application Protection Platforms, a testament to its commitment to addressing fragmented security and automation issues.

The recognition is based on feedback and ratings from end-user professionals. Trend Micro achieved a 4.7-star rating from 81 reviews. Of these reviews, 96% of customers were willing to recommend its services. This accolade underscores the company's efforts to mitigate security gaps and streamline collaboration between security and developer teams.

Mick McCluney, ANZ Field CTO at Trend Micro, stated, "Organisations have been grappling with a proliferation of security tools that fail to provide unified risk visibility, comprehensive protection for multi-cloud environments, and effective detection and response capabilities for hybrid clouds. That's why we're delighted to be named one of just four Customer's Choice for CNAPP, with a 'willingness to recommend' customer rating of 96% based on 81 reviews submitted as of December 2024 on Gartner Peer Insights for Cloud-Native Application Protection Platforms market."

"We believe this recognition reflects our unwavering commitment to innovation and delivering exceptional customer experiences to help address the most pressing challenges in today's dynamic and complex infrastructure landscape."

The Gartner Peer Insights Customers' Choice distinction highlights the effectiveness of Trend Micro's Cloud Security solutions, particularly its centralised Trend Vision One Cloud Security platform. This platform provides deep visibility into risks, preventive measures, and rapid response actions to minimise exposure. It aims to bridge the gap between developers and security teams and enhance overall compliance and risk mitigation in cloud environments.

Trend Micro's solutions feature capabilities such as cloud misconfiguration checks, runtime monitoring and protection of cloud workloads, automated vulnerability detection, and exposure scanning for various threats. The company also offers infrastructure such as code and container image scanning, agentless scanning capabilities, file security scanning, cloud detection and response, data security posture management, and cloud infrastructure entitlement management to further bolster cloud security.

Gartner defines Cloud-Native Application Protection Platforms (CNAPPs) as providing a unified and integrated set of security and compliance capabilities to protect cloud-native infrastructure and applications. Trend Micro's high ratings in Product Capabilities and Sales Experience, both at 4.7 out of 5, further reinforce its standing as a prominent provider in the cybersecurity sector.

Businesses' increasing reliance on cloud-native applications necessitates robust cybersecurity solutions. However, traditional security tools often create gaps, lack automation, and cause friction due to time-to-market pressures that affect security and developer teams.

Trend Micro's recognition in the Gartner Peer Insights Customers' Choice highlights the importance of adaptable and comprehensive security solutions that align with modern business needs, addressing current and potential cybersecurity challenges organisations worldwide face.
