AI now enables attackers to rapidly convert publicly shared personal images into scalable, highly targeted phishing intelligence, turning everyday online photos into a significant and often overlooked security risk for individuals and enterprises.

The industrialization of AI-driven OSINT has transformed individual digital footprints into machine-readable intelligence at scale, enabling attackers to operationalize personalized reconnaissance at volume.

TrendAI™ brings structure and discipline to threat attribution, helping security leaders and teams make informed decisions about cyber risk, incident response, and overall defensive posture.

AI skills bridge the gap between AI capabilities and real-world operations, but in doing so, they also introduce new risks and avenues for attack. We explore the challenges of AI skill adoption and provide a practical framework for secure deployment.

The 2025 criminal AI battlefield underscores the robust weaponization of the rapidly growing technology. From criminal large language models (LLMs) and AI-powered malware to deepfakes at scale, threats are advancing on every front. Looking back on the year in criminal AI is crucial for hardening defenses and preparing for what’s next.

We challenge assumptions about AI models by revealing real-world biases and limitations, and the impact of poorly managed AI adoptions.

Trend™ Research introduces a novel system that leverages AI and behavioral analytics to proactively estimate the risk of future malware outbreaks based on users’ behavior to help organizations strategically strengthen their defenses.

We dive into the transformation from “Cybercrime-as-a-Service“ to “Cybercrime-as-a-Sidekick“, which fundamentally alters the operational dynamics of criminal enterprises.

Drawing on insights from Trend Micro’s global researchers and security experts, this year’s edition of our annual security predictions report highlights the AI-driven shifts set to shape 2026 and beyond.
