In a significant move set to bolster the security of Artificial Intelligence (AI) infrastructure, global cybersecurity leader Trend Micro has announced a strategic collaboration with Dell Technologies and NVIDIA. This powerful alliance aims to deliver co-developed, pre-approved OEM appliance offerings, forming what they term an “AI Factory” designed for secure and scalable AI deployments across various enterprise environments.
The partnership addresses the growing challenges faced by organizations as they race to adopt AI, often encountering complexities in IT integration and mounting cyber risks. “IT teams are stretched thin,” stated Kevin Simzer, COO at Trend Micro. “Our platform is designed to automate, streamline, and unify security operations… Our goal is to meet customers where they are, and that same philosophy drives our strategic alliances.”
The integrated solution will leverage the strengths of each company:
- Trend Micro will provide its industry-leading, AI-driven cybersecurity platform, Trend Vision One™. This comprehensive platform includes Cyber Risk Exposure Management, Extended Detection and Response (XDR), and robust protection across email, cloud, network, endpoint, data, and identity layers.
- Dell Technologies will contribute its scalable infrastructure and deployment capabilities, powered by Dell PowerFlex for high-performance, software-defined enterprise storage.
- NVIDIA will enhance the solution with its Morpheus cybersecurity AI framework and NIM microservices, enabling real-time, GPU-accelerated threat detection and AI-driven analysis for faster risk mitigation.
A cornerstone of this collaboration is the Trend Vision One™ Sovereign Private Cloud, a pre-integrated package encompassing software, hardware, support, and deployment services. This offering simplifies adoption and accelerates time-to-value, crucial for enterprises navigating complex security decisions and aiming to close skills gaps. The solutions are optimized for a range of deployment scenarios, from cloud-native to air-gapped systems, making them ideal for industries with stringent regulatory or performance requirements.
This “best-of-both-worlds” approach aims to remove the burden of “DIY security” for enterprises, offering a clear starting point for secure AI adoption. By embedding intelligent security directly into the AI factory, the collaboration promises to empower organizations to confidently scale AI innovation without compromising on protection, ultimately contributing to a more resilient and trusted AI ecosystem.
