Trend Micro Inc. (トレンドマイクロ株式会社 Torendo Maikuro Kabushiki-Gaisha?, Chinese: 趨勢科技) is a global security software company founded in Los Angeles, California with global headquarters in Tokyo, Japan, and regional headquarters in Asia, Europe and the Americas. The company develops security software for servers, cloud computing environments, consumers, and small, medium and enterprise businesses. Its cloud and virtualization security products provide cloud security for customers of VMware,Amazon AWS,Microsoft Azure and vCloud Air. Eva Chen serves as Trend Micro’s chief executive officer, a position she has held since 2005 when she succeeded founding CEO Steve Chang. Chang serves as chairman of Trend Micro.
The company was founded in 1989 in Los Angeles by Steve Chang (張明正, Chang Ming-cheng), his wife, Jenny Chang, and her sister, Eva Chen (陳怡樺). The company was established with proceeds from Steve Chang’s previous sale of a copy protection dongle to a United States-based Rainbow Technologies. Shortly after establishing the company, its founders moved headquarters to Taipei.
In 1992, Trend Micro took over a Japanese software firm to form Trend Micro Devices and established headquarters in Japan. It then made an agreement with CPU maker Intel under which it produced an anti-virus product for local area networks (LANs) for sale under the Intel brand. Intel paid royalties to Trend Micro for sales of LANDesk Virus Protect in the United States and Europe, while Trend paid royalties to Intel for sales in Asia. In 1993, Novell began bundling the product with its network operating system. In 1996 the two companies agreed to a two-year continuation of the agreement in which Trend was allowed to globally market the ServerProtect product under its own brand alongside Intel's LANDesk brand.
