History, Vision, and Values

Our story

In 1988, Trend Micro was co-founded by Steve Chang, Jenny Chang, and Eva Chen to develop antivirus software—but it didn’t stop there. Over the last three decades, we’ve become a market leader in hybrid cloud security, network defense, small business security, and endpoint security.

IT infrastructure continues to change, user behavior becomes riskier, and threats evolve. We continuously innovate to stay one step ahead of the bad guys. Our founders have set the tone, the culture, and our road to innovation – building a strong team of passionate people who work together to make the world safe for exchanging digital information, today and in the future.

What we believe

With core values focused on innovation, integrity, and making the world a better place, we have grown to become the strong, global company we are today – with more than $1.7 billion in revenue and over 7,000 employees focused solely on cybersecurity. As we have grown, we have remained nimble – leading the market with innovative approaches to securing an ever-evolving IT and threat landscape.
