Trend Micro taps Nvidia software tools for AI cybersecurity offering

Trend Micro on Sunday said it is working with Nvidia to create new cybersecurity tools that use artificial intelligence and are designed to protect the data centers where AI work happens.

The tools, which Trend Micro planned to show at the Computex conference in Taiwan beginning on Sunday, will be capable of running on Nvidia’s chips and are designed to detect intruders and make sure that data is only seen by those authorized to use it.

Many businesses are training AI systems to help their employees with tasks like answering human resources questions or assisting customer service agents. But to do so, the businesses often pull data from across their business into one place, which makes the system an alluring target for hackers.
