Eva Chen, Co-Founder and CEO at Trend: “We are not just adapting to an AI-driven world: we are creating it, helping to ensure that any team can securely innovate without elevating risk. New technology implemented appropriately should improve business resilience rather than impair it. Just as we did with the advent of cloud security, we are pioneering AI for security and security for AI.”

“Enterprises and governments are seeking ways to securely integrate AI into mission-critical systems while maintaining full control of proprietary data,” said Justin Boitano, Vice President of Enterprise Products at NVIDIA. “The NVIDIA AI Enterprise software platform provides the performance, reliability and security needed for advanced data protection and operational efficiency.”

Adopting new technology can pose challenges, and leaders in business and governments worldwide are especially concerned with reducing risk at all levels during the process. Trend recognizes the importance of deploying generative AI and is collaborating with NVIDIA to develop strategies to secure generative AI to enable long-term business transformations. Shortsighted integration strategies that over prioritize early outcomes can lead to elevated risks of misconfigurations, vulnerabilities or data breaches.

A leading technology provider supporting systems across Germany, Austria and Switzerland, spoke under anonymity: “Organizations around the world that are required to maintain the most stringent data sovereignty and privacy requirements often cannot use public cloud-based AI. Now get the best of both worlds. These offerings are setting a new standard for securing AI implementations, and we are excited to be a part of this journey.”

Trend is focused on understanding infrastructure changes, user behaviors and operational needs to safeguard data against both known and unknown risks at every stage of adoption in a new technological era.

Trend Micro Incorporated, a global cybersecurity leader, released new research revealing that many business leaders don’t see the link between security and data insight – despite acknowledging that effective security can accelerate digitization.

Jon Clay, VP of Threat Intelligence at Trend: “Data-driven insight is an increasingly critical foundation for the sustainable growth boards are demanding today. But unless that data is properly secured, such initiatives will be built on sand. It’s time for business leaders to recognize the importance of security to their growth plans, and for CISOs to make a more compelling case for their function.”

Trend Micro‘s interviews with global business decision makers found 61% of organizations agree there is an urgent need to diversify their revenue streams in 2023, against an uncertain macroeconomic and geopolitical backdrop.

A further 68% said access to data will be fundamental to unlocking these new revenue streams, while the vast majority (91%) claimed they can achieve cost savings to some extent through better use of data.

Data analytics and similar tools can drive enhanced business agility, by helping organizations to anticipate market trends, run financial forecasting scenarios and more.

However, more than one third of business decision makers said they don’t understand the connection between cybersecurity and data insights. Even more fail to join the dots between security and both generating new revenue streams (48%) and cost reduction (55%).

Also of concern is the fact that more than half of respondents claimed their organization’s current security policies and processes create information silos. This could actively undermine data insight projects, and reinforces the need for more joined-up, platform-based security approaches.

Although some business leaders are still not convinced, nearly two thirds believe security policy can increase the speed of digitization.

The research also revealed evidence of maturing security posture. Nearly three quarters of IT decision maker respondents said the organization tracks and reports on cyber risk levels, with a third reporting this to the board as a business risk measurement.

The post Security is Key to Unlocking the Enterprise Data Dilemma appeared first on AiThority.

Trend Micro Incorporated, a global cybersecurity leader, predicts the security operation center (SOC) within organizations will absorb cloud security by 2026.

Security leaders are recognizing that cloud and the way cloud security teams work today are becoming increasingly critical to business and IT operations. As a result, cloud security and the foundational practices of their teams will be absorbed into the SOC to increase efficiencies in the coming years.

“Valuable innovations always cross the threshold and are absorbed into standard operations — happened with virtualization, and it will happen again with cloud,” said Mike Milner, VP of cloud technology at Trend Micro. “The organizations and individuals that lean into this will lead the way.”

Leaders who have successfully navigated cloud security are well placed to navigate a similar move to the modern SOC landscape.

AiThority: The Use of AI in Hollywood

Software is consuming everything, creating system infrastructure that is increasingly defined as code and reliant on large volumes of data with automation as the cornerstone for delivering value at increasing speeds. All these principles are foundational to teams building and securing in the cloud, but SOC and IT infrastructure teams’ tooling, like cross-detection and response (XDR), also leverage these concepts and can benefit from absorbing the scale, skills, and expertise of cloud teams.

Trend’s prediction is that viable SOC tools will grow to include cloud protection capabilities.  With the increased inclusion of cloud detection and response (CDR) within XDR platforms, the SOC function will have an increased scope that will also impact leadership qualifications.

Global organizations are set to spend $600 billion on public cloud services this year as the technology increasingly becomes an integral part of standard IT operations.Recent estimates suggest 87% of enterprises have already embraced multi-cloud and 72% are running hybrid cloud environments.

Organizations wanting to leverage the combined strengths of their organizations might look to security partners with expertise in both cloud security and SOC tooling to smooth the transition in addition to these thoughts.

Recommendations for organizations:

• Give CIOs more freedom to experiment with handling cloud and cloud security teams
• Look seriously at a cloud security leader as the next CISO
• Encourage or deliberately connect the leadership of the two teams – via joint executive briefings or having both reports into the CIO
• Consider rotational programs for security and engineering teams

Recommendations for aspiring CISOs:

• Gain experience in cloud transformation
• Pick a cybersecurity partner with experience adopting and integrating technologies between cloud security and SOC tools
• Maintain cloud practitioner certifications from partners such as (AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, etc.)
• Leverage learnings from the cloud like immutability, building from code, and automation to improve security posture and respond quickly
