Local government in the UK is increasingly encouraged to migrate to the cloud to drive efficiencies and improve agility and productivity while minimising costs.

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. UK organisations are increasingly on the receiving end; whether it’s nation state operatives or financially motivated cyber-criminals attacking. Government figures from last year revealed nearly half of all UK businesses suffered a cyber breach or attack in the previous 12 months. In the face of this barrage, industry players must come together to advance our aims of improving cybersecurity and resilience for all.
