Trend Micro has been protecting enterprises, consumers, governments, service providers and SMBs for 30 years, but the threats we’re facing globally today are on a scale never before seen.

But there are also dangers. Government is one of the most frequently targeted industries when it comes to cyber attacks, so those manning IT security in its various departments and agencies need to be on top of their game.

That’s why we have conferences like IA15 next week (9th-10th November) – the government’s flagship annual information assurance and cyber security event. I’ll be taking part in London next week to discuss how the security industry can keep pace with the ever growing cyber threat. Continue reading →
