Trend Micro’s UK tech bench: simplifying cloud security
Cloud computing sits at the heart of the post-pandemic global economy.
Save to Folio
Cloud computing sits at the heart of the post-pandemic global economy. Gartner predicts that spending on infrastructure (IaaS) software (SaaS), platform (PaaS) and other related services will reach nearly $500bn this year and grow by more than 21% to hit $600bn by 2023. But projects can be complex, requiring a close partnership between security provider and cloud customer to ensure they’re built on firm foundations.
That’s why Trend Micro has invested significant time and resources into ensuring its entire “Tech Bench”: Sales Engineers, Solutions Architects, Customer Service Managers and Technical Leaders completed their AWS Cloud Practitioner within the first 6 months of 2022 so our experts are dedicated to securing your journey to the cloud and on hand to deliver the expertise you need to make your cloud computing initiatives a success.
The journey starts here
No two organisations are the same. Some took a giant leap forward during the pandemic, accelerating their cloud journey significantly to deliver new customer experiences, trim costs and drive business agility. Others have been invested in digital transformation for many more years. But both need customised security knowledge and tooling to ensure the success of such projects, whatever stage of maturity they’re at.
Building security into cloud initiatives from the start is non-negotiable in a world of escalating threats and expanding corporate attack surfaces. Trend Micro recorded a 101% year-on-year increase in cloud-based email threats in 2021. Elsewhere, in-house skills shortages and a rapidly expanding array of new cloud capabilities make misconfigurations more likely. Threat actors are actively scanning the internet for systems exposed by this kind of human error. The increasing use of open source code by DevOps teams is also ratcheting up cyber risk.
Speaking the same language
Trend Micro has the right platform to secure your journey to the cloud, whatever stage it’s at. Trend Micro Cloud One offers simple, flexible, all-in-one protection from containers to file storage, and workloads to open source components. However, we don’t just hand over the technology and expect you to get on with it. To fulfil their role in the shared responsibility model, AWS and Azure customers need security solution providers they can trust, to work in partnership as their requirements evolve.
Trend Micro’s tech bench was made for this. Our 24 AWS cloud practitioner-certified experts sit on the cutting edge, ready to help plug any internal skills gaps to streamline security for your cloud deployments. Most importantly, we:
- Understand your business to tailor support where it’s needed
- Always strive to offer proactive advice in a language you understand
- Are constantly growing and learning, with practitioners currently taking AWS Solutions Architect and Azure Certification exams
The cloud is not a destination. It’s a journey. And with the tech bench, that journey just got much smoother.
