"The flexibility and reliability of the Microsoft cloud platform empowers enterprises to address growing business needs, while Trend Micro's comprehensive solutions are specifically designed to deliver cloud security to maximise ROI and utilise the full benefits of the Microsoft cloud platform.

Nicole Herskowitz, Microsoft Azure senior director of product marketing, says security is an utmost priority for organisations relying on the cloud.
