DALLAS, Jan. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), a global cybersecurity leader, today celebrated being named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Modern Endpoint Security for Enterprises 2024 Vendor Assessment^¹. According to the report, "Trend Micro's placement in the Leaders category is principally attributable to the company's extensive set of capabilities as a major security technology vendor and in the MES market and the company's strength in executing on its SaaS strategy."

The report noted, "Trend Micro has strong MES capabilities almost across the board. Capabilities where Trend Micro had strong comparatives relative to its peers were in number of endpoint protection technologies (host-based firewall and IDS/IPS, DNS filtering, device control, DLP, and encryption), percentage of these technologies offered as standard features, device vulnerability management, in-browser policy controls, and anti phishing protections."

We believe the latest IDC MarketScape's latest report as further proof that what we're offering customers is resonating."
