Plexus Global (Pvt) Ltd., a leading value-added IT distributor in Sri Lanka, has entered into a strategic partnership with TrendAI, formerly known as Trend Micro, to strengthen the availability of advanced enterprise cybersecurity solutions in the Sri Lankan market.

The partnership, which was formalised on June 1, appoints Plexus Global as an authorised distributor of TrendAI’s comprehensive cybersecurity portfolio. The collaboration is aimed at enabling organisations across Sri Lanka to gain greater access to next-generation security technologies designed to address increasingly sophisticated cyber threats and the evolving requirements of digitally driven enterprises.

As organisations continue to accelerate digital transformation and adopt cloud services, artificial intelligence and connected technologies, the cybersecurity landscape has become increasingly complex. Businesses are facing a growing range of threats, including sophisticated malware, ransomware, data breaches, identity-based attacks and other forms of cybercrime. Against this backdrop, the partnership between Plexus Global and TrendAI is expected to provide enterprises with access to advanced security capabilities designed to strengthen their overall cyber resilience.

A key component of the partnership is TrendAI Vision One™, the company’s unified enterprise AI cybersecurity platform. The platform brings together artificial intelligence, threat intelligence and security capabilities across multiple areas of an organisation’s digital environment. It is designed to help enterprises identify potential vulnerabilities, detect threats at an early stage and respond more effectively to security incidents.

The collaboration was formally introduced at a launch event attended by technology partners, enterprise representatives and other stakeholders from Sri Lanka’s information technology sector. The event provided an opportunity to showcase TrendAI’s cybersecurity portfolio while highlighting the importance of adopting proactive and integrated security strategies in an increasingly digital business environment.

During the event, participants were introduced to TrendAI’s latest cybersecurity capabilities, product portfolio and deployment approaches. Discussions also focused on how organisations can strengthen their security posture as cyber threats continue to evolve alongside the rapid adoption of cloud computing, artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies.

Commenting on the partnership, Plexus Global Vice President – Enterprise Security Zihan Jiffry said the collaboration represents an important milestone for the company and reinforces its commitment to bringing advanced cybersecurity technologies to organisations in Sri Lanka.

He highlighted the importance of providing enterprises with access to innovative security solutions capable of addressing the changing nature of cyber risks. Through the partnership, Plexus Global aims to support organisations in strengthening their security infrastructure while enabling technology partners to deliver specialised cybersecurity solutions to their customers.

TrendAI India and SAARC Country Manager Sharda Tickoo also emphasised the need for organisations to take a proactive approach to cybersecurity as the scale and sophistication of digital threats continue to increase.

She noted that businesses need security frameworks capable of identifying and responding to threats across increasingly complex digital environments. The partnership with Plexus Global is expected to help organisations in Sri Lanka access advanced cybersecurity technologies and strengthen their ability to operate securely in an environment increasingly influenced by artificial intelligence.

Through Plexus Global’s extensive partner ecosystem, which comprises more than 150 technology partners, TrendAI’s cybersecurity solutions are expected to become more accessible to organisations operating across a range of industries.

Key sectors expected to benefit include banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI), government, telecommunications and other enterprise segments that manage large volumes of sensitive information and depend heavily on digital infrastructure.

The partnership also brings together TrendAI’s global cybersecurity capabilities and Plexus Global’s local market presence, distribution expertise and technical ecosystem. This combination is expected to provide enterprises and channel partners with greater access to cybersecurity technologies, alongside the necessary technical support and expertise required for implementation.

As Sri Lankan businesses continue to invest in digital transformation, cybersecurity is becoming an increasingly important component of enterprise technology strategies. Organisations are seeking solutions that can provide visibility across their digital environments while helping them identify potential risks, respond to incidents and protect critical business assets.

The Plexus Global–TrendAI partnership is positioned to address these requirements by expanding access to integrated and AI-powered cybersecurity solutions in the local market. It also reflects the growing importance of collaboration between global technology providers and local IT distribution and service networks in supporting Sri Lankan enterprises.

With the partnership now underway, Plexus Global and TrendAI are expected to continue working with technology partners and enterprise customers to promote stronger cybersecurity practices and facilitate the adoption of next-generation security technologies across Sri Lanka.

The collaboration marks another step towards strengthening the country’s enterprise cybersecurity ecosystem and helping organisations navigate the increasingly complex security challenges associated with digital transformation and the expanding adoption of artificial intelligence.
