Trend Micro Puts Industry Ahead of Cyberattacks with Industry’s First Proactive Cybersecurity AI
New capabilities supercharge proactive risk management, threat modeling, attack path prediction, and actionable insights
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 4 March 2025 – Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), has launched a breakthrough AI Agent designed to change the way enterprises approach cyber risk. Today’s announcement introduces Trend Cybertron, the industry’s first specialized cybersecurity large language model (LLM) designed to drive proactive security outcomes. Using the most precise local risk assessments and deepest global threat intelligence in the industry, the new AI engine predicts and prevents threats across an organization’s entire attack surface in any environment.
Trend Cybertron combines the reasoning capabilities of Agentic AI with 35 years of data, threat intel, and human expertise to build a vastly capable cybersecurity agent. To learn more, visit: https://www.trendmicro.com/predictions/artificial-future-security-predictions-for-2025
Eva Chen, CEO: “Trend is building a cybersecurity AI agent unlike any other. We’re bringing together a massive quantity of the highest-quality data in the industry to supercharge our capabilities and make it easier than ever for customers to proactively manage their cyber risk. Our customers and partners are already seeing reduced costs and improved security posture.”
More than a standalone LLM, this new approach to AI for security will leverage all of the core technologies in Trend Vision One™—threat data, analytics, engines, and beyond—to provide a truly complete solution for organizations’ entire cybersecurity workload.
Organizations worldwide are grappling with increasingly complex security challenges. Understanding attack surfaces, managing siloed tech stacks, responding to threats, handling alert fatigue, and integrating AI are all leading to overwhelmed and fatigued security teams. Trend Cybertron connects real-time and historical data from around the globe to:
- Accelerate security outcomes by anticipating needs and predicting risk
- Reduce alert overload, increasing precision in prioritization and preventing fatigue
- Unleash greater value and more powerful insights from existing risk sensors
Stuart MacLellan, CTO at South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust: “This evolution of AI in the Trend platform is unique as it calculates our constantly changing risk profile and cross references millions of bits of data for custom threat intelligence. This has made it possible to be more proactive than reactive with our entire security strategy.”
Seamlessly integrated into the flagship Trend Vision One™ platform, Trend Cybertron is now available to customers worldwide. An industry-leading focus on proactive security enables IT teams to anticipate and predict risk and threat activity with exact precision across the entire attack surface. This makes it possible for teams to get ahead of breaches and mitigate risk before it has the chance to materialize.
Frank Dickson, Group Vice President, Security & Trust at IDC: “Let’s face it. Cybersecurity has been detection centric for some time. Prevention was simply uncool. Trend is looking to change the market narrative; there is no need to detect an attack if it never happens. Leveraging AI in combination with its cyber risk exposure management, Trend enables organizations to see threats from an attacker’s point of view and thwart them before risk becomes reality, creating a massive ROI for overworked security teams. Trend promises to make proactive prevention cool again in 2025.”
Trend Cybertron will be trained on an unmatched foundation of intelligence and AI expertise, including:
- Trend’s threat intelligence from over 250 million sensors that protect over 82 million assets at 500,000+ enterprises in 175+ countries—the broadest in the industry, blocking over 160 billion threats in 2023
- Machine learning that enables data classification, vulnerability discovery, and detection of deepfakes, phishing techniques, malware, lateral movement, user anomalies, and scams
- Decades of institutional knowledge from over 3,000 security experts, with over 700 patents in cybersecurity technology
- 20+ years of advanced vulnerability and zero-day research from the Trend Micro Zero Day Initiative™ that enables protection of customers an average of 70 days ahead of the industry
The result is a highly resilient, rapidly evolving system that can independently perform risk management tasks and make decisions to anticipate, understand, and mitigate billions of cyber threats worldwide every month. This empowers customers to make informed security decisions and manage their cybersecurity posture, data privacy, and compliance.
Rachel Jin, Chief Enterprise Platform Officer at Trend: “Trend Cybertron represents a paradigm shift in cybersecurity—combining advanced AI with decades of human intelligence to deliver truly proactive security. By leveraging real-time and historical global intelligence along with comprehensive visibility across every attack surface, we empower enterprises to predict and prevent threats, reduce risk, and create a more resilient future.”
Trend Cybertron redefines industry standards in key areas:
- AI for Security: Trend breaks down longstanding security silos via complete connection of 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 exceeds any previous cybersecurity platform. Data breach risk was reduced by 17% on average, saving millions of dollars per year in potential risk.
- Security for AI: The rapid expansion of AI has also raised concerns for data security. A growing number of enterprises and governments worldwide are training proprietary LLMs to reduce the associated risks. Trend has made it safer and easier than ever for organizations at all levels to protect training data, prevent misalignment, and stop cyberattacks against their AI models.
- Actionable Insights: With complete telemetry across endpoint, cloud, network, email, identity, AI, and data, Trend makes real-time predictions and addresses the impact and likelihood of thousands of potential attack paths for each customer. The platform also learns and adapts to a customer’s unique environment to find and address new vulnerabilities and attack vectors. Comprehensive visibility and automatic prioritization equip organizations with fast and effective mitigation 24/7.
- Simplifying Workflows: The new AI model is designed to enhance Trend’s flagship platform, ensuring organizations at any stage of their cybersecurity journey can seamlessly integrate this technology with their existing security stack. Security teams benefit from reduced workloads and improved accessibility at all levels of expertise.
- Empowering Leadership: Going beyond other cybersecurity platforms, Trend Vision One™ empowers security leaders to change roles from reactive defender to proactive business enabler. By transforming security from a cost center into a driver of innovation, Trend enables leaders to effectively communicate cyber risk in the context of business risk—ensuring both operational protection and future growth. Trend research has shown this is a critical issue for many organizations worldwide.
AI is only as powerful as the data it’s trained on and the experts who build it. Trend’s experienced global team of security and AI specialists collaborated in Ottawa, Canada to refine every stage of development, ensuring that the new AI agent is fine-tuned to deliver the most effective proactive security.
Industry analysts have recognized Trend as a Leader across critical security categories including endpoint protection, attack surface management, cloud native application protection platforms, network analysis and visibility, network detection and response, and more. Trend is also a pioneer in AI deployments within cybersecurity, with AI-driven annual recurring revenue exceeding $200 million at the end of Q3 2024.

Maharlika Consortium Breaks Ground for PHP 2 Billlion Microgrid Investment Powering 12,000 Philippine Homes
Right Image:
Maharlika Consortium is a recognized leader in microgrid innovation, deploying best-in-class technology that includes advanced solar PV power, high-performance battery storage systems (BESS), intelligent hybrid generation, smart meters, and sophisticated distribution grids to deliver 24/7 clean, affordable, and reliable electricity to residential and commercial consumers.
Awarded following a competitive selection process by the Philippine government under the Qualified Third Party Programme (QTP) and the new Microgrid Service Provider (MGSP) Act, the approved microgrids will deploy a smart, clean, and modern utility-grade power infrastructure. The portfolio will initially deploy 7 MWp Solar PV, BESS totaling 8.0 MWh, efficient diesel capacity of 3.5 MW and a smart power distribution network of 225 km across the three provinces. This ambitious undertaking is expected to generate approximately 300 full-time jobs during the 10-12 month construction period, with 30 permanent positions for operations and maintenance (O&M) and additional part-time sub-contractors for ongoing maintenance works.
This significant milestone underscores the Philippine government’s intensified efforts to fast-track rural electrification projects. These initiatives are propelled through pathways such as the Certified Energy Project of National Significance (CEPNS) designation and inter-agency streamlining, consistent with the respective mandates and authorities of the concerned government agencies, a push acknowledged by President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., Energy Secretary Sharon S. Garin and ERC Chairperson Atty. Francis Saturnino C. Juan. Now facing a global oil crisis, more than ever, decentralized and hybrid power infrastructure is the country’s best strategy to increase its energy security. Such hybrid powered microgrids will reduce the burden on fuel subsidies by the government while ensuring business continuity in entire communities, because over 50-60 percent of the power is generated from locally available sunlight.
In Palawan, a province celebrated for its environmental efforts and home to the world-class pioneering Sabang microgrid, the news was warmly received by local leadership. “This program is about creating opportunities, improving lives, and building a brighter future for every San Vicentenian. As we lay the foundation today, we are not only building infrastructure—we are building hope.” said San Vicente Mayor Ramir R. Pablico.
Community leaders and indigenous representatives also expressed strong support for the project, highlighting its long-awaited impact on education, livelihoods, and cultural continuity. “We have been waiting a long time for this project because our community truly wants access to electricity. While I know some of our residents may face challenges in getting connected due to financial constraints, I am confident they will find ways, because they want their children to study well. Reliable lighting will help ensure better education for our community,” said Barangay Captain Alvin J. Marsi of Taburi. “We are grateful to our elders and the Indigenous Political Structure for their support through the entire approval process. Their consent reflects a shared aspiration to advance and develop their community,” said Dina C. Pascual, Municipal Indigenous Peoples Mandatory Representative (IPMR). “This project is very meaningful for us. I believe this is not only for our generation, but especially for the children. We hope that access to electricity will encourage our youth to stay, so they can continue to protect and uphold the rights of our indigenous community,” shared Ebredy Orok, an Indigenous community elder, who affirmed that the project has been granted a Free Prior Informed Consent (FPIC) through the National Commission on Indigenos Peoples (NCIP).
Her Excellency Ambassador Constance See of Singapore, who led key dignitaries during the ceremony, underscored the broader significance of the project, highlighting both its development impact and the strength of bilateral cooperation. “This is not just an energy project—it is a development project. Projects like this microgrid strengthen livelihoods, improve access to essential services, and demonstrate how Singapore and the Philippines can work together to deliver practical, lasting benefits for communities.”
Atem S. Ramsundersingh, CEO of WEnergy Global, the pioneering company in hybrid power systems and offgrid microgrids over past 14 years, highlighted the significant opportunity for financiers. “We invite financing institutions to join this movement as lenders, claim real, measurable SDG impact, and gain early access to an approximately US$7 billion off-grid infrastructure market in the Philippines. Our 24-site portfolio is diversified, de-risked, and shovel-ready, now also open for financing of 8 additional sites. We expect to apply for more offgrid microgrid sites in 2026 and beyond and invite national and international investors to join this mission.”
“These approvals and the subsequent groundbreaking validate our approach: building bankable, scaleable microgrids to empower the over 2 million Filipino households that remain unenergized,” added Quintin V. Pastrana, President of Maharlika Clean Power Holdings. “We are grateful to our partners who have sustained their patience and determination to secure the necessary approvals under this new regulatory framework and believe with this experience and more streamlined processes, we can bring in more private sector investment to support the government reach its 100% household energization target within the decade.”
With the groundbreaking successfully completed, construction is now officially underway. While development will proceed in phases, ensuring all DENR clearances, final local government unit permits, and compliance with remaining ERC requirements are meticulously secured, the Maharlika Consortium remains steadfast in its aim to have every community energized by Christmas 2026, bringing 24/7 power to households, schools, barangay health stations, and micro, small, and medium enterprises. These decentralized power infrastructure systems are also opening up opportunities for owners and operators of micro and containerized data centers to co-locate with this decentralized set up and the use of clean energy sources.
Backed by the ERC, DOE and DENR, and with vital support from governors, mayors and barangays clearing rights-of-way and permits, this program marks a decisive shift in how rural electrification gets done in the Philippines: faster, accountable and designed for impact. The Maharlika Consortium is matching that public resolve with WEnergy Global driving disciplined execution, engineering with suppliers and local contractors to deliver fit-for-island components and climate-resilient power networks that withstand typhoons, floods and earthquakes. The objective is specific and measurable: close the energy-poverty gap in our host communities, unlock local jobs and services, and deliver lifetime reliability and value for money.
