Trend Micro Incorporated, a global cybersecurity leader, has officially announced the expansion of its strategic alliance with Google Cloud.
According to certain reports, this enhanced partnership is expected to combine deep cybersecurity expertise with leading cloud innovation to effectively secure the connected world through a multi-cloud, AI-first environment. More on that would reveal how such a mechanism should really go the distance to support sovereignty requirements, enhance consumer and enterprise protection, and at the same time, build digital trust at scale.
As a part of this collaboration, Trend and Google Cloud will bring to the fore an assortment of innovations to address various real-world problems.
“Among hyperscalers, we’ve seen Google Cloud accelerate as the most in tune with real-world demands, standing out not only for its cloud infrastructure but also for its leadership across AI, data analytics and multiple other domains. Google Cloud’s hybrid and multi-cloud approach—seamlessly supporting both public and private cloud models—reflects the growing enterprise demand for flexibility,” said Kevin Simzer, COO of Trend Micro.
Talk about these Innovations on a slightly deeper level, we begin from the promise of enterprise AI security with Google Cloud.
This translates how Trend Vision One Sovereign and Private Cloud is now certified for Google Cloud Assured Workloads. As a result, Trend should be able to provide enterprises with the flexibility necessary for securing critical workloads on Google Cloud’s public, hybrid, and even air-gapped on-premise cloud environments.
Not just that, the solution will also make it possible for you to secure critical workloads, while simultaneously maintaining control over their most sensitive data. The idea here is to help organizations, operating in highly regulated and emerging markets, to optimize security, compliance, and data sovereignty needs, as well as accelerate their digital transformation.
Next up, we have Google Cloud Marketplace-backed access coming into play. You see, Trend solutions like Trend Vision One and Trend Vision One Sovereign and Private Cloud are now available on the Google Cloud Marketplace, something which really goes the distance to let enterprises streamline deployment and management in cloud environments.
Another detail worth a mention relates to continued expansion on the Google Workspace Marketplace. Up until now, Trend has already witnessed over 4 million downloads of Trend Micro Cloud App Security on the Google Workspace Marketplace for enterprise-wide deployments.
Hence, the stated expansion of their partnership should only build upon these initial successes.
Rounding up highlights would be Trend and Google Cloud’s bid to deploy an AI-led solution geared towards protecting users from online scams causing losses of more $1 trillion+, a piece of data validated by Trend Micro ScamCheck.
For better understanding, ScamCheck happens to be the first anti-scam app of its kind, an app which can now leverage Gemini models through Vertex AI for some of its most innovative capabilities. This includes the ability to verify images and SMS content that scammers may be using to target users.
Founded in 1988, Trend Micro’s rise up the ranks stems from its AI-powered cybersecurity platform, which protects users across clouds, networks, devices, and endpoints. This particular platform is focused, at present, on conceiving a range of advanced threat defense techniques optimized for environments like AWS, Microsoft, and Google.
The company’s excellence in what it does can also be understood once you consider it currently serves hundreds of thousands of organizations and millions of individuals across 70 countries.
“Our long-time partnership with Trend Micro underscores our shared commitment to enterprise-grade security. By seamlessly extending Google Cloud’s native security with Trend Micro’s specialized defenses, we empower organizations to accelerate their cloud transformation journeys. This enables them to innovate securely and scale confidently in a dynamic AI era,” said Karan Bajwa, President, Google Cloud Asia Pacific.
