Trend Micro has launched the industry’s first professional Cybersecurity Large-Scale Language Model (LLM), designed to drive proactive security outcomes. An AI agent called Trend Cybertron promises to change the way businesses approach cyber risk.
Using local risk assessment and global threat intelligence, the new AI engine predicts and prevents threats across the entire organization’s attack surface.
Trend Cybertron combines the inference capabilities of Agent AI with 35 years of data, threat intelligence, and human expertise building cybersecurity agents.
“Trends are unlike anything else, building cybersecurity AI agents,” said Eva Chen, CEO of Trend Micro. “We have now been able to collect a huge amount of top quality data in the industry, recharging capabilities and actively manage cyber risks for our customers. Our customers and partners have already improved their cost reductions and security attitudes.”
This new approach to AI for security above standalone LLM provides a complete solution for your organization’s entire cybersecurity workload using Trend Vision 1 core technologies (threat data, analytics, engines).
Organizations around the world are tackling increasingly complex security challenges. Understanding the surface of attacks, managing siloed technology stacks, responding to threats, handling alert fatigue, and AI integration leads to overwhelmed and exhausted security teams.
Trend Cybertron connects real-time and historical data from around the world to:
Accelerate security outcomes by predicting needs and risks. Reduces alert overload, increases prioritization accuracy, and prevents fatigue. Unleash greater value and stronger insights from existing risk sensors.
Flagship Trend Vision Integrated into one platform, Trend Cybertron is available to customers all over the world. By leading the industry in aggressive security, IT teams can accurately predict and predict risk and threat activity across the attack surface. This allows teams to preempt violations and mitigate risks before they have the opportunity to make it happen.
Frank Dixon, VP of IDC’s Security and Trust Group, said: Cybersecurity has been detection-centric for a while. Prevention was simply not cooled. Trends are trying to change the narrative of the market. If no attack occurs, there is no need to detect an attack.
“When leveraging AI in conjunction with cyber risk exposure management, trends allow organizations to see threats from the attacker’s perspective and block them before the risks become real, creating massive ROIs for overworked security teams. Trends promise to cool off aggressive prevention again in 2025.”
Trend Cybertron is trained on the fundamentals of intelligence and AI expertise, including:
Trend threat intelligence from over 250 million sensors protecting over 82 million assets across more than 175 companies, blocks over 160 billion threats in 2023. It has decades of institutional knowledge from over 3,000 security experts and has over 700 patents in cybersecurity technology. Over 20 years of advanced vulnerability and zero-day research from the Trend Micro Zero Day Initiative allows protection for customers average 70 days ahead of the industry.
The result is a resilient, evolutionary system that can independently perform risk management tasks and make decisions that predict, understand, and mitigate billions of cyber threats each month. This allows customers to make informed security decisions and manage their cybersecurity attitudes, data privacy and compliance.
Zaheer Ebrahim, Solutions Architect at Trend Micro MEA, said: “Trend Cybertron represents a paradigm shift in cybersecurity. It combines advanced AI with decades of human intelligence to provide truly proactive security.
“By leveraging real-time and historic global intelligence along with comprehensive visibility on all attack surfaces, businesses can predict and prevent threats, reduce risk and create a more resilient future.”
Trend Cybertron advances AI-driven security in key areas.
AI for AI Security: Trends break down long-standing security silos through a complete connection of available information and build a comprehensive understanding of security, intelligence, and data. Data can be accessed from all layers, allowing security teams to make informed decisions. The risk of data breaches decreased by 17% on average, saving millions of dollars a year on potential risks. AI Security: The rapid expansion of AI has led to growing concerns about data security. With the growing number of businesses and governments around the world, we are training our own LLMs to mitigate the associated risks. Trends make it safer and easier for organizations to protect their training data, prevent inconsistencies, and stop cyberattacks on AI models. Actionable Insights: With complete telemetry across endpoints, cloud, networks, email, identity, AI, and data, trends make real-time predictions and address the impact and potential of customer potential attack paths. The platform learns, adapts to the customer’s environment, finds and deals with new vulnerabilities, and attacks vectors. Comprehensive visibility and automatic prioritization provide fast and effective mitigation for your organization. Simplify Workflows: The new AI model is designed to enhance trending flagship platforms, enabling organizations at every stage of their cybersecurity journey to integrate this technology with their existing security stacks. Security teams have experienced reduced workloads and improved accessibility. Leadership Empowerment: Trend Vision 1 allows security leaders to change roles from reactive defenders to aggressive business enablers. By turning security from a cost center to an innovation factor, trends allow leaders to effectively communicate cyber risk in the context of business risk, ensuring operational protection and future growth. Trend research shows that this is an important issue for many organizations around the world.
AI is as powerful as the data they are trained and the experts who build it. Trend’s experienced global security team and AI specialists have collaborated in Ottawa, Canada to refine every stage of development, ensuring that new AI agents have been tweaked to provide the most effective and aggressive security.
Industry analysts recognize trends as leaders in key security categories, including endpoint protection, attack surface management, cloud-native application protection platforms, network analysis and visibility, network detection and response. Trend is also a pioneer in AI deployment within cybersecurity, with AI-driven annual recurring revenues exceeding $200 million at the end of the third quarter of 2024.
