Harnessing AI for Enhanced Security
A deep-dive into how AI-driven solutions from Trend Micro leveraging the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software platform are elevating security across critical industries
As cyber threats grow in scale and sophistication, the need for innovative cybersecurity solutions has become a top priority across all industry sectors. According to the 2024 Report on the Cybersecurity Posture of the United States, federal agencies and critical infrastructures face increasingly complex and frequent cyber threats, emphasizing the need for robust cybersecurity measures. The increasing sophistication of these threats endangers sensitive data and complicates efforts to comply with stringent regulations, making the challenge even more formidable.
We have made significant strides to create groundbreaking AI-driven security solutions with the help of NVIDIA AI. Here's a recap of our results and a look at how our innovations built with the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software platform are reshaping security.
Achievements
We have worked with NVIDIA to enhance our cybersecurity offerings by leveraging the power of AI. This collaboration has yielded several key milestones. We have focused on integrating NVIDIA's full-stack accelerated computing platform into the Trend Vision OneTM platform, leading to better threat detection and response.
This has resulted in the development of sophisticated tools and frameworks designed to address the growing complexity of cyber threats. These milestones underscore our effectiveness in pushing the boundaries of what's possible in cybersecurity to help organizations protect their modern applications and AI models.
"AI for security, security for AI"
Our guiding principle, "AI for security, security for AI," reflects the importance of both adopting AI to enable a new generation of security tools and securing the rapidly expanding deployments of AI infrastructure. This philosophy emphasizes two key pillars:
- AI for Security: Leverage AI to advance threat detection, automate responses, and predict potential security breaches. By running machine learning algorithms and advanced analytics with NVIDIA AI and accelerated computing, Trend Micro enhances its ability to detect and neutralize sophisticated threats in real time
- Security for AI: Ensure that AI systems are safeguarded against malicious attacks and vulnerabilities. This involves implementing rigorous security measures to protect AI models and data, ensuring these technologies operate securely and effectively.
To help more organizations across the globe unlock the future of secure LLM applications, we developed a paper with a comprehensive framework designed to tackle key risks such as prompt injection, integrity issues, and hallucinations. It can be found here at this link.
AI-based Anomaly Detection
Trend Vision One leverages NVIDIA NIM microservices and Morpheus to perform AI analysis of event streams to identify behavior anomalies and novel threats. NVIDIA Morpheus, part of NVIDIA AI Enterprise is a GPU-accelerated AI framework designed to analyze large volumes of data and accelerate security operations. It provides a platform for developing and deploying AI-driven security applications, significantly enhancing the speed and accuracy of threat detection and response.
Trend Micro Sovereign Private Cloud
Complementing this is Trend Micro Sovereign Private Cloud (SPC), which offers comprehensive security solutions tailored for private cloud environments. The SPC leverages AI to provide robust protection against cyber threats while ensuring that the data remains within the organization's control, never leaves the customer environments, and meets the private concerns of specific organizations. SPC uses NVIDIA NIM microservices, also included with NVIDIA AI Enterprise, to provide a completely private implementation of Trend Micro’s Companion AI, allowing sovereign cloud deployments to leverage the power of generative AI to contextualize global threat intelligence and native telemetry insights.
Vulnerability protection and network detection and response
Securing network communication for AI infrastructure is crucial to protect against exploits, detect suspicious activity, and ensure data integrity and confidentiality. As a leader in vulnerability disclosure and the NDR market, Trend Micro offers advanced protection with our TippingPoint Network IDS/IPS. This combined technology helps organizations and governments safeguard critical AI environments, enabling the development of cutting-edge solutions to address major challenges.
Ensuring data sovereignty and compliance
One of the standout features of the Trend Vision One SPC is its focus on data sovereignty and compliance. It ensures that sensitive data remains under the organization's jurisdiction, aligning with industry standards and government regulations. This is critical for organizations operating in regulated industries or regions with strict data protection laws.
By maintaining data within the private cloud and employing advanced security measures, Trend Vision One SPC helps organizations meet compliance requirements while protecting against data breaches and unauthorized access.
Use cases across key sectors
- Financial Services: Financial institutions have leveraged the combination of NVIDIA Morpheus and Trend Micro Vision One to safeguard sensitive customer information and detect suspicious activities with greater accuracy.
- Healthcare: In the healthcare sector, these technologies help protect patient data and ensure compliance with regulations such as HIPAA while also enhancing the security of AI-driven medical research.
- Government: Government agencies use these solutions to protect classified information and ensure that AI-driven initiatives are secure and compliant with regulatory standards. Trend Vision One SPC can provide protection as it can help retain government information in their environment and allow them to use innovative technology like our Companion AI to help SOC teams.
Customers have noted significant improvements in their security posture and operational efficiency. The ability to detect threats more rapidly and manage data securely has been a game-changer for many organizations.
As we continue to innovate, Trend Vision One platform is designed to meet today's security challenges and anticipate tomorrow's threats. Whether in on-premises, hybrid, or cloud environments, our platform provides organizations across industries with the tools they need to confidently address their unique security needs.
