Eva Chen, CEO at Trend Micro, said, "The acquisition of Provilla strengthens our ability to execute on our content-security strategy, with technology and products complementing our own."

Trend Micro will continue to offer Provilla's stand-alone products in the near term as well as gradually integrate Provilla's capabilities into its own enterprise and SME products.
