Trend Micro growth leads to new Sydney office

The new Trend Micro Australia and New Zealand headquarters has been opened in North Sydney.

This follows rapid growth at the company, with a doubling in sales revenue and a 20% increase in staff, as well as an increase in channel partners. The new premises will incorporate offices, a training suite and a demo lab space which will also give the company space to grow in the future. It anticipates doubling its employees over the next three to five years.

“This past year has been pivotal for many Trend Micro customers who are navigating digital transformation,” said Dhanya Thakkar, VP and managing director for APAC at Trend Micro.

“We are seeing significant momentum toward cloud-based and cloud-enabled solutions and are confident we can cement our market leadership position in server security.”

The NSW Government’s chief information and digital officer, Damon Rees, congratulated Trend Micro on the expansion.

“NSW is at the forefront of ICT and digital capability in Australia. A big part of our success is the strong community of local partners whose expertise, culture of innovation and appetite for new talent continues to drive growth,” Rees said.

One of the primary goals for Trend Micro in the year ahead is addressing the challenge of new threats appearing as rapidly as technology changes. The company recently introduced XGen endpoint security, which adds machine learning to a blend of threat defence techniques to intelligently apply the right technology at the right time. This results in more effective and efficient protection against a full range of threats. 

Trend Micro’s North Sydney headquarters offers 180° harbour views, extensive natural light and a bright and simple design concept to the new open-plan office. The space is designed to increase collaboration between employees and departments and bring a comfortable but inspiring working environment. The new office also reflects and supports Trend Micro’s modern workforce with several hot desks with lockers to accommodate sales and support staff.

In addition to its new headquarters in Sydney, Trend Micro also has offices in Melbourne, Brisbane, Canberra, Perth and Auckland, with teams working across all regions of Australia and New Zealand.

“Australia and New Zealand are incredibly important markets for Trend Micro and we hope our continued investment and commitment to the region will help our customers and partners achieve success now and into the future,” said Thakkar.
