Trend Micro, Snyk Partner To Enable Software Developers to Rapidly and Securely Deliver Applications

Trend Micro Incorporated, the global leader in cloud security, today announced a strategic partnership with Snyk, the leader in developer-first open source security. The partnership will focus on solving the unrelenting challenge that open source vulnerabilities create for developers, stemming from code-reuse, public repositories and open source.

Together, Trend Micro and Snyk will help businesses manage the risk of vulnerabilities without interrupting the software delivery process. The combination of open source vulnerability intelligence from Snyk and Trend Micro will result in the most comprehensive ability to detect vulnerabilities for teams operating in a DevOps environment. Once vulnerabilities in containers are identified, Trend Micro is the shield and Snyk is the fix that combine for streamlined remediation and risk mitigation.

“When it comes to DevOps, Trend Micro gets it,” said Geva Solomonovich, chief operating officer at Snyk. “We’re excited to partner with Trend Micro to bring their enterprise customers an easy and scalable way to fix open source vulnerabilities. Together, we will continue to help organizations improve their ability to find vulnerabilities earlier in the development process and provide options for how to mitigate and prevent risk in software development.” 

One of the key challenges for enterprise customers today is the need for speed in developing applications. Speed and efficiency is gained by leveraging open source code. Gartner reports,1 “Open-source software is used within mission-critical IT workloads by over 95% of the IT organizations worldwide, whether they are aware of it or not.” Research from Snyk also found that those vulnerabilities in open source libraries are growing rapidly, nearly doubling in two years.2

“Snyk’s approach and trust they’ve built directly with the development community is unmatched,” said Kevin Simzer, chief operating officer at Trend Micro. “Our collaboration demonstrates both companies’ understanding of the tools developers need and how we can provide security without getting in their way. This strategic partnership is the start of future collaboration as we both work to secure the DevOps workflow.”

Additional terms of the ongoing partnership and product integration will be announced in November, 2019.

TAC Security Named Company of the Year by Golden Bridge Awards

In a development that underlines its position as a domain leader in the information and cyber security space, TAC Security has won three silvers and one bronze awards at the Golden Bridge Awards 2019. The company bagged each in the following categories: “Company of the Year” in Security Cloud/SaaS (11 – 2,499 Employees), “Company of the Year” in Security Services (11 – 2,499 Employees), and a silver for “Startup of the Year” in Cyber Security Products. It was also named as for “Startup of the Year” in the Cyber Security Services category.

TAC Security won the recognition for its path breaking work in securing organizations and governments from an increasingly sophisticated threat landscape. What makes its victory even more remarkable is the fact that it is the only Indian cybersecurity company to have featured at the world’s premier “Business Awards”.

Golden Bridge Awards are an annual industry and peers recognition program honouring the best companies in every major industry, from large to small and new start-ups in North America, Europe, Middle-East, Africa, Asia-Pacific and Latin-America, and best new products and services, best innovations, management and teams and women in business from all over the world.

Trishneet Arora, Founder and CEO of TAC Security said, “Earning recognition at Golden Bridge Awards 2019 is a moment of great pride for us. It is a testament to TAC Security’s commitment to providing best-in-class vulnerability management and application security services to corporate and government organizations across the world. We hope to continue augmenting our offerings to better prepare organizations for future disruptions in the space.”

The latest win further highlights the differentiation that TAC Security is delivering through innovative offerings such as ESOF (Enterprise Security in One Framework), an AI-based vulnerability management platform. This unique approach is why, in addition to servicing several corporate giants in India and the US, it is also the first Indian cyber security company to be involved in policymaking and strategizing of the cyber security policies for a sensitive law enforcement agency in the United States of America.
