These components are designed to improve investigation workflows and deliver additional context to security operations centre (SOC) teams during incident response situations.
Mick McCluney, ANZ Field CTO at Trend, commented, "AI is reshaping the enterprise, and security has to evolve just as fast. We're bringing together best-in-class partners in both cloud and AI to deliver something truly differentiated. AWS's secure and resilient infrastructure gives us the scale, performance, and global availability needed to meet the always-on demands of today's enterprises. So our customers can detect and respond to threats faster, with confidence."
The anomaly detection capability within the solution employs AI models based on NVIDIA Morpheus. This allows the system to identify novel patterns in large streams of telemetry data and logs. The implementation on AWS enables the platform to scale effectively, managing extensive datasets and rapidly building custom detection models for individual customers. This approach seeks to prioritise the most critical events and prompt faster security responses.
Key features of the technology include NVIDIA Morpheus Digital Fingerprinting, which identifies subtle, previously unknown anomalies. There is also the use of NVIDIA RAPIDS to expedite large-scale data classification, enhancing real-time detection and prevention of sensitive information leaks. The platform's native operation on AWS allows it to leverage the elasticity, global reach, and inherent security of AWS services, supporting ongoing advancements in AI-enabled detection while meeting enterprise compliance and performance benchmarks.
Robert Miller, VP of Corporate Security at Sierra-Cedar, highlighted the practical benefits of the solution: "We're dealing with an increasingly complex environment with more data. Trend stands out as it doesn't just provide threat intelligence, it helps make sense of it. Our team can access Trend's AI-powered platform directly via AWS Marketplace, streamlining procurement and deployment across global cloud environments. This powerful combination allows us to strengthen our security posture and identify threats much faster than we could manually."
The introduction of these new AI-powered threat detection capabilities is positioned to address the rapidly evolving landscape of enterprise cybersecurity as organisations integrate artificial intelligence deeper into their operations.
