Trend Micro will also be the first security company within APAC to chair the CSA executive council.
"The dynamism of the cloud computing market and its exponential adoption across Asia Pacific has created a growing sense of urgency among organisations to take a hard look at cloud security," said Cheang.
"Asia Pacific plays a critical role in the future of cloud computing, and a stronger physical presence for CSA in this region will help us provide greater access and support to governments, businesses and our rapidly growing members and partners in the region."
He added: "Trend Micro...has been and will be a crucial partner in strengthening CSA's presence within this region. We are pleased to have this opportunity to recognise Trend Micro's role.
CSA says it "currently enjoys a close following in the region with country and city-specific chapters and chapters-in-development in ten countries including Australia, China (including Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan), India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Thailand, New Zealand, Pakistan, and Singapore."
