Trend Micro acquires Australia’s Cloud Conformity

Bengaluru, Oct 22 (IANS) Global Cloud security company Trend Micro Incorporated on Tuesday announced it has acquired Sydney headquartered Cloud Conformity — a Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) company.

Trend Micro’s strategy is built to ensure Cloud security without disrupting the way in which customers need to do business.

This acquisition builds upon the company’s continuous innovation in Cloud security, thus, adding complementary capabilities that automatically identify and fix a range of cloud infrastructure configuration issues.

“We have been laser focused on building integrated security for the Cloud since its birth over a decade ago, unlike other vendors who are now attempting to stitch together disparate Cloud technologies,” Eva Chen, Chief Executive Officer, Trend Micro, said in a statement.

According to Trend Micro, it will nurture and grow both the companies as part of its market-leading Cloud security strategy.

“As more enterprises move to the Cloud, our customers feel they are operating amid a wild-west approach to Cloud implementations that leave them with unmanaged risk. As an AWS technology partner of the year for 2019, Cloud Conformity understands these implementations and the risks,” Chen added.
