Micro TippingPoint Named a Leader in 2017 Gartner Magic Quadrant

for
Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems

SINGAPORE, January 20, 2017 –– Trend Micro
Incorporated (TYO: 4704;
TSE:
4704), a global
leader in cybersecurity solutions, today announced it has been positioned as a
leader in Gartner, Inc.’s Magic Quadrant for Intrusion Detection and Prevention
Systems (IDPS)[1]. Trend Micro
(formerly listed as HPE) significantly improved its placement in both
‘completeness of vision’ and ‘ability to execute’ from previous years. Trend
Micro believes placement of the TippingPoint Next-Generation Intrusion
Prevention System (NGIPS) in the Leaders quadrant illustrates the positive
progress made since acquiring TippingPoint in March 2016.

“Our acquisition of TippingPoint was
designed to strategically advance the capabilities of our solutions to meet the
needs of our customers faced with the growing complexity of protecting their
enterprise networks,” said Kevin Simzer, executive
vice president, sales, marketing and business development for Trend Micro. “We
believe that being named a leader in the Magic Quadrant reflects the hard work
we’ve done and our commitment and long-term vision for comprehensive network
security.”

“We are committed to staying on the
forefront of attack trends and anticipating our customers’ evolving network
security requirements,” said Don Closser, vice president and general manager
for Trend Micro TippingPoint. “Our teams came together over the past year to
fully integrate Trend Micro Deep Discovery/Advanced Threat Protection with
TippingPoint Next-Generation IPS. I believe this successful combination strengthened
our overall product offering to solidify our Leader placement in this year’s
Magic Quadrant.”  

The TippingPoint NGIPS offers
in-line comprehensive threat protection against advanced and evasive targeted
attacks across data centers and distributed enterprise networks. It offers
in-depth analysis of network traffic for comprehensive contextual awareness,
visibility and agility necessary to keep pace with today’s dynamic threat
landscape. Powered by security intelligence from TippingPoint Digital
Vaccine® Labs (DVLabs) and the Zero Day Initiative vulnerability bounty program, the TippingPoint NGIPS
provides accurate, preemptive threat prevention in real-time without affecting
network performance.

“As a TippingPoint
customer before the acquisition, we were impressed with Trend Micro’s
leadership, command of product and customer support from the very beginning,”
said Frank Bunton, chief information security officer for MedImpact Healthcare.
“The company’s decades of cybersecurity solutions experience was evident by the
clear vision they laid out to integrate the TippingPoint technology into their
existing security infrastructure and to build a positive security posture
across our business – on endpoints, servers and networks.”
