Partnership combines software and hardware intelligence to strengthen detection of ransomware attacks
THE Trend Micro, a global leader in cybersecurity solutions, announced a new collaboration with Intel® to protect critical enterprise systems against stealthy threats, including fileless malware and advanced ransomware. The integrated solution offers the unique ability to verify whether encryption behavior is legitimate (such as a user backing up files) or malicious, ensuring rapid decision-making to protect critical systems.
“Cybercriminals are increasingly targeting endpoints with sophisticated attacks that evade traditional software-based security solutions. By integrating Intel Threat Detection Technology (Intel® TDT) into Trend Micro solutions, we provide an additional layer of hardware-accelerated detection that can identify stealthy threats,” said Carla Rodriguez, vice president at Intel. “This technology, already deployed on more than a billion PCs, is the only silicon-based AI security solution. Combined with Trend solutions such as Trend Vision One™ – Endpoint, our customers gain enhanced protection and optimized performance.”
As cyberattacks become more sophisticated, protecting critical assets across endpoints, networks, email, and cloud workloads is a constant challenge. In 2023, approximately 401,000 attacks used fileless malware, a method that leverages system memory, the registry, or legitimate tools like PowerShell, making it difficult to detect using traditional approaches.
This is where the collaboration between Trend Micro and Intel comes into its own, combining the power of the Trend Vision One™ platform with AI and the unique capabilities of Intel® TDT to provide tools that detect and respond to attacks before they can cause damage.
“Proactive security, long considered an ideal, is now a reality. Our partnership with Intel redefines what’s possible in cybersecurity, enabling businesses to preemptively protect their systems and data against an increasingly complex threat landscape,” said Rachel Jin, director of Enterprise Platforms at Trend Micro.
The integration of Intel® TDT with Advanced Memory Scanning (AMS) offers the following technological advantages:
- Unloading advanced loads: Intel® TDT offloads Advanced Memory Scanning (AMS) loads from the CPU to the GPU, enabling deeper and more frequent scans;
- Improved efficiency: reduced CPU resource utilization ensures that solutions endpoint from Trend Micro to perform faster detections without impacting system performance, battery life, or user experience;
- Increased detection capacity: with Trend Vision One™ – Endpoint Security leverages AMS to improve memory scanning capability by 7-10x, enabling it to identify and block more threats effectively;
- Improved behavioral analysis: Intel TDT augments Trend’s behavioral analytics, runtime machine learning, and expert rules, providing critical hardware-layer visibility and elevating ransomware detection effectiveness in 24% over software alone.
