HONG KONG SAR – Media
OutReach – 25 June 2021 –  (;),
a global
cybersecurity leader, today announced a new study revealing that
its hybrid cloud security services can save thousands of person-hours per year

The Forrester study found that many organizations set-up new
cloud accounts and instances without protection or utilize either legacy
on-premises solutions or platform-native services. This leads to gaps in
protection, low visibility, too much manual work and inconsistent policy
application across cloud environments.

The
Forrester study noted that the Trend Micro Cloud One platform enables customers
to simplify their cloud security environments, and even accelerate their
overall cloud migration. The study noted that “Trend Micro Cloud One enabled
customers to reduce their risk of a security breach, view all cloud assets and
threats from a single pane of glass, automate posture management and threat
detection and response, and consistently apply the appropriate policies
regardless of platform or cloud service provider.”

“Digital
transformation is at the top of the to-do list for today’s global
organizations, as they look to support distributed working and drive
post-pandemic agility and growth with cloud adoption. But emerging security
gaps can undermine all this good work,” said Wendy Moore, vice president of
product marketing for Trend Micro. “We’re proud to offer a leading cloud
security solution on which customers can consolidate, simplify and drive-up
protection whilst lowering costs and cyber-risk.”

It quantified the main projected benefits of Trend Micro
Cloud One as follows:

• Annual
  time saved on
  security administration of between 2,100 and 6,200 hours thanks to
  automation and posture management visibility.
• Reduced
  cost of threat detection and response
  of between 19% and 27% by reducing false positives and automating investigation
  and response.
• Added
  value to development
  of between 8% and 16% by reducing the time developers spent on security work
  and accelerating time-to-value of development work.
• Reduced
  cost of ownership of legacy security tools between 8% and 26% by minimizing direct spend and
  outlays on servicing these tools.
• Cost
  savings from reduced risk of a breach
  between 6% and 16%, thanks to improved security and employee productivity
  otherwise lost to breach downtime.

Over
a three-year period, Forrester projected ROI for Trend Micro Cloud One of
12-188%, net present value (NPV) of $73K-$1.1 million and total projected
benefits of $664K-$1.7 million.
