Trend Micro has appointed Gregory Anderson as its first country manager for SA.
With more than 18 years' of African IT industry experience, Anderson brings a wealth of in-depth knowledge to his new post. He joins Trend Micro from Microsoft South Africa and has previously worked at EMC and VMware.
Anderson has held senior positions with global technology companies, and also served on the board of directors of several local companies.
According to Trend Micro, Anderson has joined at a time when the growth in Web threats across the country since 2009 has well exceeded 400%.
“Web threats are exhibiting exponential growth, and I expect this trend will continue throughout 2012. This is an exciting opportunity for me to be in a company whose goal is protecting its customers in a time of increased organised criminal activity over the Web,” commented Anderson.
“Today's attacks are financially motivated and we are here to help our customers better protect themselves. I also believe that Trend Micro's offerings will help customers embrace private, public and hybrid cloud computing more holistically,” he concluded.
