Trend Micro expands AI-powered cybersecurity platform
Trend Micro launched significant additional AI-powered functionality in its platform to secure organizational use of AI and better manage the risks associated with mass adoption of new AI tools.
“Great advancements in technology always come with new cyber risk. Like cloud and every other leap in technology we have secured, the promise of the AI era is only powerful if protected. Our latest platform updates deliver new efficiencies to security teams and provide critical guidelines for AI use,” said Eva Chen, CEO of Trend Micro.
Trend Micro is introducing new capabilities to protect every person accessing public or private generative AI services across organizations. The new elements in Trend Vision One – Zero Trust Secure Access (ZTSA) continue Trend’s leadership as the first vendor to focus on securing AI services as well as the people using them across the enterprise:
- Centralized management of employee access and usage of AI applications
- Prompt inspection to prevent data leaks and malicious injections
- Content filtering to meet compliance requirements
- Defense against large language model (LLM) attacks
Building on years of using AI to better protect customers, the newly launched capabilities in Trend Vision One™ help to manage the human risks inherent in using AI. These arrive as additions to proven capabilities for contextualizing alerts and decoding complex scripts, powering threat hunting queries that can help eradicate credential phishing, recommending customized response actions, and more.
Experts at Trend also provided guidance to the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) on possible revisions to its Zero Trust Maturity Model (ZTMM), which aims to help organizations secure emerging tech integrations in their projects.
“In addition to establishing and refining AI governance policies, security teams need effective mechanisms to identify, monitor, and implement controls for AI usage at both the individual and enterprise level. Security vendors like Trend Micro who have both a long history and experience working with AI, and a proven record of delivering solutions for monitoring and implementing network, web, and cloud controls are well positioned to help security teams enable the rapid adoption of AI to accelerate business objectives in a secure manner,” said Dave Gruber, Principal Analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group.
Trend upholds a robust responsible AI model and believes that all security vendors have a responsibility to ensure technologies are developed and used in ways that are ethical, transparent and accountable. This cyber risk associated with AI applies to security vendors as well.
As a trusted partner to global law enforcement and security advisory committees, Trend proudly provided guidance to the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) on its Zero Trust Maturity Model (ZTMM), which aims to help organizations secure emerging tech integrations in their projects. Additionally, Trend is a proud signatory of the “Tech Accord to Combat Deceptive Use of AI in 2024 Elections” to fight misinformation.
