Trend Micro, a global leader in cybersecurity solutions, has officially inaugurated its new office in Qatar, establishing it as the strategic hub for its North Gulf operations. 

 

This expansion reinforces Trend Micro’s long-term commitment to enhancing cybersecurity resilience and supporting digital transformation, in line with Qatar National Vision 2030 and the broader region’s digital aspirations, the company said.

 

The launch event that took place last week featured a ribbon-cutting ceremony led by  Sami Al Shammari, Assistant Undersecretary for Infrastructure and Operations Affairs at the Ministry of Communications and Information. 

 

The event brought together prominent industry leaders, key Trend Micro customers, and strategic partners, reflecting a strong collective commitment to advancing cybersecurity in the region.Trend Micro also hosted a special edition of its flagship Innovist Forum, an exclusive gathering of cybersecurity experts to discuss the latest threats, emerging trends, and strategies shaping the future of digital security in the region.

 

“As cyber threats evolve and become more sophisticated, expanding our presence in key markets is essential to ensuring that businesses and governments have access to world-class, industry-leading security solutions,” said Dhanya Thakkar, Executive Vice President, North America and AMEA Sales at Trend Micro. “By establishing this hub in Qatar, we are strengthening our commitment to global cybersecurity resilience while fostering innovation and collaboration that extend beyond regional borders.”

 

The opening of Trend Micro’s office in Qatar and establishment of its North Gulf Region are part of the organisation’s mission to enhance cyber resilience for enterprises and empower the region to navigate an increasingly complex threat landscape. As part of this investment, the organisation will expand its local team in Qatar, with plans to double the business team and introduce new services, it said. 

 

The company is also committed to supporting regional talent development efforts through initiatives like the CyberGate internship program, designed to bridge the cybersecurity skills gap in partnership with public and private sector organisations. 

 

“Our new office in Qatar solidifies our commitment to the North Gulf region and strengthens our role in its cybersecurity ecosystem,” said Tarek Jammoul, Country Director for North Gulf and Levant at Trend Micro. “With Qatar’s digital transformation market projected to reach $9.19 billion by end of 2025 and nearly double to $19.65 billion by 2030, this strategic expansion ensures that organizations in this dynamic market have direct access to world-class cybersecurity expertise, cutting-edge solutions, and a robust local support system.”

 

The new regional hub plays a key role in driving local engagements, accelerating security innovation, and supporting Qatar’s vision for a secure and resilient digital economy, the company added. -TradeArabia News Service
