The reality is that AI use is still in its infancy stages. And not just in terms of how the technology can be wielded by cybercriminals, but also how it can be used by employees to unknowingly introduce new vulnerabilities within the business.
Yash Pillay , Sales Engineer at Trend Micro . Picture: SuppliedImagine coming to the end of a lengthy recruitment process, only to find out the candidate you’ve been dealing with during several rounds of in-depth interviews isn’t real. In fact, the person you’ve just hired doesn’t exist at all.
Consider, for example, AI that can do more than just provide information—it can make decisions and take actions for you, like booking and paying for flights or managing your calendar. This is known as agentic AI. While it sounds incredibly convenient, it also means we could lose visibility over what the AI is doing behind the scenes at the code level.
Managing these increasingly complex security challenges is going to require a more innovative approach to proactive cybersecurity than has been used before. From Trend Micro’s perspective, this involves several key areas.Achieving 100% security is unrealistic in today's world. Instead, we take a proactive approach by constantly evaluating our infrastructure and assets, like user devices and accounts, to identify and prioritise risks.
To help transform the way enterprises proactively approach cyber risk, Trend Micro also recently launchedTrend Cybertron, a specialised AI engine. It predicts and prevents threats across all environments, using precise local risk assessments and global threat intelligence. Integrated into the Trend Vision One™ platform, it helps IT teams anticipate and mitigate risks before they become breaches.
