Trend Micro Joins Nvidia’s Open Secure AI Alliance to Develop Cybersecurity Tools
Summary
Trend Micro says it is an inaugural partner in Nvidia’s Open Secure AI Alliance, which will share research and develop open models, agent tools, security techniques, and evaluation frameworks for cyber defense.
Key points
- The alliance will collaborate on four areas: open models, harnesses, skills, and research.
- Nvidia is contributing Nemotron models, training materials, and open research tools, including the NOOA framework for vulnerability discovery and validation.
- Trend Micro says its governance policies can run in Nvidia OpenShell, while Agentic Scan inventories an agent’s accessible skills and tools and flags undeclared behavior.
- The article says Trend Micro and Nvidia have coordinated vulnerability disclosures, including an authentication-bypass flaw and two subsequent patch-bypass issues in Nvidia’s stack, all reported and fixed.
- Trend Micro reports that its virtual patches arrive an average of 115 days before public vulnerability disclosure; it cites a typical 39-day period for attackers to weaponize a vulnerability after disclosure.
- The article emphasizes that open models and tools still require testing, safeguards, secure infrastructure, governance, and human oversight.
