We Lead Worldwide Server Security Market Share: Trend Micro

Quoting a recently published report by IDC, Worldwide Endpoint Security 2010-2014 Forecast November 2010, Trend Micro announced that it is leading the worldwide market for corporate end-point server security with an estimated 22.9 percent market share.

According to the report, revenue was up 13.2 percent in the third quarter from global server sales—with shipments of virtualized servers growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14 percent from 2009 to 2014.

IDC expects that this robust growth in server virtualization will continue through 2014 as datacenter adoption is increasingly considered mainstream in mature economies and as organizations in emerging regions look for datacenter efficiencies while they rapidly increase their server investments over the period”.

“With data center consolidation, along with the rise of virtualization, VDI, and cloud computing applications, more and more computing power and data itself are moving into data centers and servers,” said Eva Chen, CEO, Trend Micro.  “It doesn’t matter whether the servers are physical, virtual, inside the corporate data center, or in the cloud; these servers and, more importantly, the data need to be secure.  Server security market leadership is strategically important for Trend Micro, and we intend to continue to innovate to develop breakthrough solutions solving real customer problems for cloud security.”

In the report, IDC defines the server security category as: Solutions [that] include antimalware, desktop firewall, and host intrusion detection and prevention software that is designed to maintain the integrity of servers. These products primarily protect the operating system of servers to ensure that the systems do not run malicious software that can compromise the business applications and data on the servers.
These products are generally more robust than desktop end-point security and are available for a much wider set of operating systems (Windows, Unix, and Linux). This category also includes products that are designed to protect hypervisors and virtual servers.”

“Trend Micro has several solutions in its portfolio to secure servers and data in virtualized and cloud environments. One of them is our Trend Micro Deep Security, which provides advanced security for physical, virtual, and cloud servers. Deep Security meets the challenging operational security and compliance needs of today’s dynamic data center,” added Amit Nath, Country Manager, India and Saarc, Trend Micro.
