Trend Micro launches the market's first AI-powered cybersecurity assistant for security teams.

Trend Micro today announced Trend Companion, a new tool powered by generative AI. The cybersecurity assistant is designed to increase productivity and streamline the workflow of security analysts.

Many security teams struggle with the enormous amount of complex information and data they encounter

Our answer to this is Trend Companion, an AI tool built to minimize complexity and accelerate security operations,” said Jean Diarbakerli, security advisor at Trend Micro. The tool exemplifies the transformative power that our industry-leading platform is built on. While others are slow to implement initiatives, we have invested in bringing this to market quickly and with high quality.

Trend Companion can potentially reduce the time spent on managing risk assessments and threat investigations by 50 percent, thanks in large part to its easy-to-navigate interface that:

• Explains and contextualizes warnings
• Recommends tailored response actions
• Decodes and explains complex scripts and command lines
• Helps analysts develop and execute sophisticated threat intelligence queries
• Helps incident responders develop OSQuery queries in the IR and Forensics module

Analysts predict that in the future there will be embedded generative AI in all major security products, but Trend is now the leader in the field. Attack alerts in Trend Vision One is model-driven to be able to quickly evolve along the constantly changing landscape. AI However, it is not enough for security teams to work at maximum efficiency, the data on which AI is based is crucial. This is the value of Trend’s global threat research team and the Zero Day Initiative – the world’s largest vendor-agnostic bug bounty program.

The combination of adaptive, model-driven threat alerts in Trend Vision One and Companion's GenAI capabilities can speed response times by 30 percent, reduce incident reporting by up to two hours per report, and drive more complete attack mitigation.

Trend Companion helps minimize intrusion opportunities before they become a reality.
