Trend Micro Successfully Concludes Ahmedabad Leg of Risk to Resilience World Tour

Ahmedabad, 17 June 2024 – Trend Micro, a global leader in cybersecurity solutions, has successfully concluded the Ahmedabad segment of its Risk to Resilience World Tour in India. The event attracted 55 security leaders from 30 organizations, marking a significant milestone in a tour spanning seven Indian cities. This tour follows last year’s extensive global engagement across 60 countries, including visits to five major Indian cities.

Under the theme “Innovation Meets Adrenaline,” the event facilitated discussions on modern cyber resilience, the integration of Extended Detection and Response (XDR) with Attack Surface Risk Management (ASRM), and effective strategies for cloud risk mitigation.

Sharda Tickoo, Country Manager for India & SAARC at Trend Micro, highlighted the strategic importance of Ahmedabad, saying, “We have garnered trust across various sectors in Gujarat, including Government, Pharma, SMB, Manufacturing, Power & Utility, BFSI, IT/ITES, and Media. Our market share in Gujarat is both significant and rapidly growing. As Gujarat advances in its digital transformation, the necessity for robust cybersecurity becomes ever more crucial. Organizations here are highly attuned to cyber hygiene, with many focusing on enhancing security through consolidation.”

“Gujarat enterprises recognize the value of Trend Micro Vision One, our AI-driven, scalable platform that accelerates threat detection, response, and investigation. With industry challenges such as talent shortages and skill gaps, customers increasingly seek to delegate monitoring and security operations to trusted partners like us,” Sharda added.

The event also included a panel discussion featuring Dhaval Mankad, Vice President for IT at Vadilal Industries Limited, and Tarun Vijh, Chief Digital & Information Officer at WaghBakri Tea Group on the theme "Winning Strategies for Cyber Consolidation & Communication" moderated by Kunal Kimatkar, Regional Head, West - Enterprise Business at Trend Micro. The speakers underscored the necessity of cyber consolidation in today’s landscape. Dhaval Mankad pointed out the benefits of consolidation, how it enables centralized monitoring and streamlines vendor management. Tarun Vijh addressed the significance of cyber risk quantification while highlighting the absence of universal metrics. Additionally, they discussed the indispensable role of training for cybersecurity professionals.

Trend Micro marks two decades in the region with a strong presence in both Enterprise and Government segments while continuing to empower organizations with comprehensive IT security solutions. It also actively engages with local businesses to provide unparalleled visibility, control, and protection across IT environments, supporting their journey towards resilience with exceptional platform-based security.

A recent Trend Micro report places India as the 5th most targeted nation globally for ransomware attacks, with the Manufacturing, Government, and Banking sectors being the most affected by malware. In response to the increasing complexity of cyberattacks, especially with the rise of Generative AI, Trend Micro has extended its Risk to Resilience World Tour to seven Indian cities this year. This expansion aims to share advanced strategies for enhancing organizational resilience and building enduring partnerships.

Trend Micro also recently announced a partnership with NVIDIA to develop AI-powered cybersecurity tools for data centers.
