Trend Micro's first proactive cybersecurity AI sets a new standard with new capabilities for proactive risk management, threat modeling, attack path prediction, and other insights. Proactive security insights are designed to better protect organizations.
The new AI agent is transforming the way organizations address cyber risk. Trend Cybertron is the industry's first specialized cybersecurity Large Language Model (LLM) that delivers proactive security outcomes. The new AI leverages precise local risk assessments and deep, global, and industry-specific threat intelligence to predict and prevent threats across an organization's entire attack surface in any environment.
AI against more complex security challenges
Organizations around the world are facing increasingly complex security challenges. Understanding attack surfaces, managing siloed technology stacks, responding to threats, dealing with alert fatigue, and integrating AI are leading to overwhelmed and exhausted security teams. Trend Cybertron connects real-time and historical data from around the world. This new approach to AI in cybersecurity is more than a standalone LLM. It leverages all the core technologies of the Trend Vision One platform—threat data, analytics, engines, and more—to provide a complete solution for the entire cybersecurity workload in organizations. Organizations benefit from:
- Accelerate security processes by anticipating needs and predicting potential risks
- Reducing the flood of alarms, improving the precision of prioritization and avoiding alarm fatigue
- Maximizing benefits and gaining more precise insights from existing risk sensors
Trend Cybertron is seamlessly integrated into the Trend Vision One Platform and is available to customers worldwide. Its industry-leading focus on proactive security enables IT teams to anticipate and predict risks and threat activity with precise precision across the entire attack surface. This allows teams to preempt breaches and mitigate risks before they become threats.

Read the best news from B2B CYBER SECURITY once a monthTrend Cybertron is trained with intelligence and AI expertise
- Threat intelligence from over 250 million sensors protecting more than 82 million assets at over 500.000 organizations in more than 175 countries. It's the industry's most comprehensive solution, blocking over 2023 billion threats by 160.
- Machine learning that supports data classification, vulnerability discovery, and detection of deepfakes, phishing techniques, malware, lateral movement, user anomalies, and fraud.
- Decades of institutional knowledge from over 3.000 security experts with over 700 patents in cybersecurity technology.
- More than 20 years of advanced vulnerability and zero-day research through the Trend Micro Zero Day Initiative (ZDI), delivering customer protection an average of 70 days earlier than the industry.
The result is a resilient, rapidly evolving system capable of autonomously performing risk management tasks and making decisions. This enables billions of cyber threats worldwide to be detected, understood, and mitigated every month. This enables customers to make informed decisions and manage their cybersecurity, data protection, and compliance.
"Trend Cybertron represents a paradigm shift in cybersecurity—we combine advanced AI with decades of human intelligence to deliver truly proactive security," said Rachel Jin, Chief Enterprise Platform Officer at Trend Micro. "By leveraging global real-time and historical data and comprehensive visibility across all attack surfaces, we empower organizations to anticipate and prevent threats, reduce risk, and create a more resilient future."

AI for Security
Trend Micro breaks down long-standing security silos by fully connecting all available information to build a comprehensive understanding of security, intelligence, and data. With the ability to securely access data from all layers, security teams can make informed decisions with a depth of understanding that surpasses any previous cybersecurity platform. The risk of data breaches has been reduced by an average of 17 percent, resulting in savings of millions of dollars per year.
Security for AI
The rapid proliferation of AI has raised concerns about data security. More and more companies and governments around the world are training their own AI learning models to reduce the associated risks. Trend Micro makes it safer and easier for organizations at all levels to protect training data, prevent misalignment, and thwart cyberattacks on their AI models.
Actionable insights
Using telemetry across endpoints, cloud, network, email, identity, AI, and data, real-time predictions can be generated to examine the impact and likelihood of thousands of potential attack vectors for each customer. The platform learns and adapts to each customer's unique environment to find and remediate new vulnerabilities and attack vectors. With visibility and automated prioritization, organizations can deliver rapid and effective defenses around the clock.
Simplified workflows
The new AI model was developed with the goal of further enhancing the platform. This ensures that organizations can seamlessly integrate this technology into their existing security systems at every stage of their cybersecurity journey. Security teams benefit from reduced workloads and improved accessibility at all levels.
Empowerment of managers
Trend Vision One goes beyond the standard cybersecurity platform, empowering security leaders to shift their role from reactive defender to proactive business enabler. By transforming security from a mere investment into an innovation driver, executives can effectively communicate cyber risks in the context of business risks, ensuring both operational protection and future growth. Trend Micro research has shownthat this is a critical issue for many companies worldwide.
AI is only as powerful as the data it's trained on and the experts who develop it. Trend Micro's global team of security and AI specialists worked together in Ottawa, Canada, to optimize each development stage and ensure the new AI agent is precisely tuned and provides proactive protection.
AI agents for cybersecurity
"Trend Micro is developing a cybersecurity AI agent that is unparalleled," said Eva Chen, CEO of Trend Micro. "We are combining the highest-quality data in the industry to further enhance our capabilities and make it easier than ever for customers to proactively manage their cyber risks. Our customers and partners are already seeing reduced costs and improved security posture."
"Let's face it. Cybersecurity has been focused on detection for some time now. Prevention was simply uncool. Trend Micro is trying to change the market perception: There's no reason to detect an attack if it never happens," said Frank Dickson, Group Vice President, Security & Trust at IDC. "By leveraging AI in combination with Cyber Risk Exposure Management (CREM), Trend Micro gives organizations an attacker's view of threats. This allows them to thwart them before the risk becomes a reality, creating a massive ROI for overburdened security teams. Trend Micro promises to make proactive prevention cool again in 2025."
