Trend Micro, a major Japanese cybersecurity company, laid off approximately 152 employees, representing 2% of its global workforce of 7,582. The job cuts were announced on Tuesday as part of a broader business transformation plan aimed at focusing on customer expansion through its platform. This move aligns the company with a wider trend of tech industry layoffs amid ongoing economic challenges, as Trend Micro indicated it has no plans to actively increase its headcount in the near term.
