AUCKLAND, February 7, 2024 – Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), a global cybersecurity leader, today announced that the world’s largest cybersecurity roadshow is set to return in 2024.

The World Tour will bring global experts together in major cities to discuss the future of digital defence, focusing on strategies for AI-driven security across all environments and endpoints. Attendees will uncover new and emerging technologies and innovations that help accelerate cyber risk management efforts, enabling organisations to make informed decisions, speed security operations, and experience a more resilient future.

AWS’s commitment to the World Tour comes at a pivotal time as organisations worldwide look to drive AI- and cloud-powered innovation while mitigating risk across an expanding attack surface. Together with AWS, Trend is dedicated to fostering an environment of innovation that delivers customers with the most streamlined and seamless security solutions in every environment. By leveraging the invaluable opportunity to co-innovate with AWS side by side, Trend brings the best security practices and solutions to mutual customers and ensures they are well-prepared for the unique challenges of cloud security.

Emboldened threat actors continue to ramp up attacks on distributed and dynamic cloud environments, taking advantage of enterprise cybersecurity skills shortages and surging IT complexity. A resilient security posture calls for an understanding of risk across the system and applications that comprise their entire attack surface—yet only 9% of businesses actively monitor for this. Attack Surface Risk Management, the latest functionality in Trend Vision One developed to take on this previously unaddressed challenge in the industry, will be the focus of several sessions on the tour.

Building on the extraordinary success of the inaugural World Tour in 2023, Trend’s 2024 Risk to Resilience program will visit 100 cities around the world. A more condensed two-hour experience and optional modular follow-on sessions will put attendees in control of their experience.

This year’s roadshow will also be driven by Trend’s recently announced multi-year partnership with NEOM McLaren—which brings together two innovation-centric brands with a commitment to securing complex, dynamic environments. 

Srujan Talakokkula, Managing Director, ANZ Commercial Business at Trend: “Attack surface risk management is now a critical element of overall security posture as global organisations deploy generative AI and other digital tools to gain competitive advantages. World Tour attendees in 2024 will get to access product demos, customer interviews, expert keynotes and peer-to-peer networking opportunities to uncover the latest insights and strategies to supercharge business resilience. Together with the NEOM McLaren team, we plan to accelerate innovation in the race against cyber threats.”
