Global Market share report: Trend Micro #1 again in virtualization security

Trend Micro, a global cloud security leader, today announced that the company holds the largest share, 10 to 12 percent, in the global virtualization security management solutions market, according to The Global Virtualization Security Management Solutions Market 2011-2015, published by independent market research company TechNavio. TechNavio also recently placed Trend Micro #1 in the cloud security market share. 

The report cited Trend Micro’s wide range of virtualization security solution offerings for virtual environments, and its geographic diversity compared to its competitors. The report also credits the strategic acquisition of Third Brigade, along with Trend Micro’s strong partnership network with Microsoft, HP, IBM, VMware, and more for helping Trend Micro expand its virtualization security product offering and lead the market. 

“Our success in cloud and virtualization innovation continues to propel our business and technology strategies forward, and this report is another validation of that reality. In the post-PC cloud era, Trend Micro envisions a security framework that follows and protects both businesses and individuals across evolving computing environments, applications and devices,” said Steve Quane, Chief Product Officer, Trend Micro. 

The healthy virtualization security market, stated the report, is expected to grow at a CAGR of 49.53 percent within the next three years. Although the Americas is the major contributor to the market, with a share of 51–53 percent, the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) region and the Asia Pacific (APAC) region are also coming up as strong contributors in the market.
