Our Story
Trend Micro was co-founded by Steve Chang, Jenny Chang, and Eva Chen in 1988 to develop antivirus software, but they didn’t stop there. Over the last 3 decades, we’ve become a market leader in hybrid cloud, network, endpoint, and small business security.
IT infrastructure continues to change, user behavior becomes riskier, and threats evolve. We continuously innovate to stay one step ahead of the bad guys. Our founders have set the tone, the culture, and our road to innovation, building a strong team of passionate people who work together to make the world safe for exchanging digital information, today, and in the future.
What we believe
With core values of innovation, integrity, and making the world a better place, we have grown into the strong, global company we are today with more than $1.7 billion in revenue and over 7,000 employees. But we've remained nimble – leading the market with innovative approaches to securing an ever-evolving IT and threat landscape.
The pulse of Trend
We are more than just the best technology. Our founders have fostered a culture built with people who live and breathe threat intelligence. We are the threat defense experts. It’s in our DNA to understand the psychological motivation behind attacks, and our collaboration with the FBI and other law enforcement agencies around the world has led to stopping global threats and taking down attackers.
We are real people who care about protecting your digital world. But we also help the world in other ways. Our caring and socially responsible team participates in:
- We have home building programs for our employees to participate in
- We provide Internet safety programs for kids and families with free resources
- We raise money for charities through different initiatives throughout the year
