Gartner Magic Quadrant for Endpoint Protection Platforms

SINGAPORE, February 7, 2017 –– Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), a global leader in cybersecurity solutions, recently
announced it has been placed highest and furthest in the Leaders quadrant for
ability to execute and completeness of vision in Gartner, Inc.’s 2017 Magic Quadrant for Endpoint Protection
Platforms (EPP)[1]. The company has been named by Gartner as a Leader in enterprise
security solutions for endpoints and servers since 20021.

“We feel that effective security requires a
cross-generational blend of threat defense techniques. In my view, our
placement of highest and furthest within the Leaders quadrant recognizes our
visionary approach to security,” said Kevin Simzer, executive vice president,
sales, marketing and business development for Trend Micro. “We believe being
positioned as a leader for so many years, demonstrates Trend Micro’s unique
capability to offer the latest technology while constantly developing the
necessary techniques to fight tomorrow’s threats. Our ability to protect
enterprises throughout every aspect of their organization is what sets us
apart.”

Trend Micro protects endpoints with XGen™
security, a blend of cross-generational threat defense techniques that
intelligently applies the right technology at the right time, resulting in more
effective and efficient protection against a full range of threats. Trend Micro
is the first to infuse ‘high-fidelity’ machine learning into its approach –
uniquely analyzing files both before execution and at runtime to block those
with malicious intent and using ‘noise cancellation’ features, such as census
checking and whitelisting, to reduce false positives.

“Trend Micro’s XGen™ security has advanced
our organization’s endpoint security tremendously,” said Ty Smallwood,
infrastructure and security manager for Navicent Health. “We now have one
vendor that offers the full breadth of protection with visibility across our
business. Their 24/7 customer support has always made Trend Micro available and
responsive to our questions around the solutions and general threat
intelligence.”

Trend Micro also protects server endpoints
across the data center and cloud with XGen™ security, delivering optimized
protection for workloads deployed on VMware, AWS and Microsoft Azure. Managed
through a single connected dashboard with full visibility across physical,
virtual and cloud, Trend Micro’s hybrid cloud security solution simplifies the
deployment and management of security; speeds response to sophisticated attacks
and accelerates compliance with key regulations such as PCI, HIPAA and others.
