Trend Micro launches regional data centre in India

Cybersecurity firm Trend Micro has launched its Cloud One regional data centre in India, to uphold data sovereignty and safeguard data privacy.

Cloud One is Trend Micro’s flagship cloud security services platform for protecting servers, resources, and applications on the cloud.

The company said that this makes it among the first security vendors to have the broadest set of services around cloud security, delivered out of India. The move follows its launch of a regional XDR data lake in India last year.


“India is a significant market for us and to reinforce our commitment towards our customers in India, we have launched Trend Micro Cloud One data centre for India region. It helps simplify cloud security for our vast clientele - especially in BFSI, government and other regulated sectors,” said Vijendra Katiyar, Country Manager, India & SAARC, Trend Micro.

The all-in-one platform approach provides automated protection for customers at every step of their cloud journey.

“Cloud One addresses the most fundamental cloud security requirements of the customers, protecting a number of the most used cloud services, such as compute, file storage, containers, serverless functions, virtual private network, and more. Cloud One also enables customers to gain full visibility into their hybrid or multi-cloud environment and ensures that the cloud services are configured correctly and are compliant to industry standards,” he said.

Software as a Service (SaaS) is emerging as the preferred model for security solutions delivery.

However, many customers face regulatory or policy-based concerns around the location of SaaS platforms or data storage for their workloads.

Having a data centre within the country improves compliance and reduces friction for guidance and reporting requirements, the company said in a statement.
