In a significant leap forward for enterprise cybersecurity, Trend Micro and Intel have announced a collaborative breakthrough designed to combat increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, particularly fileless malware and advanced ransomware. The partnership combines Trend Micro's AI-powered security platform with Intel's cutting-edge threat detection technology, offering organizations unprecedented protection against stealthy digital attacks.

The collaboration leverages Intel's Threat Detection Technology (TDT), which provides a hardware-accelerated detection layer capable of uncovering complex threats that traditionally evade software-based security measures. This innovative approach is particularly crucial in an era where malicious actors are developing increasingly sophisticated attack methodologies.

Fileless attacks has emerged as a particularly dangerous threat, with reports indicating it was present in 40% of cyber attacks in 2023. These sophisticated attacks rely on in-memory execution, registry manipulation, and abuse of legitimate system tools like PowerShell, making them extremely difficult to detect using conventional security methods.

By integrating Intel's advanced memory scanning (AMS) technology, which offloads scanning workloads from CPU to GPU, Trend Micro's endpoint security solutions can now scan more deeply and frequently. This approach enables organizations to detect and neutralize potential threats before they can launch malicious payloads, significantly enhancing overall cybersecurity resilience.

Rachel Jin, Chief Enterprise Platform Officer at Trend Micro, emphasized the transformative nature of this collaboration, stating that they are "redefining what's possible in cybersecurity" by empowering enterprises to proactively safeguard their systems against an increasingly complex threat landscape.

The joint solution increases ransomware detection efficacy by 24% compared to software-only approaches, providing critical visibility into the hardware layer. By integrating Intel TDT source code directly into the Trend Micro agent, the solution enables instant discovery of zero-day attacks and rapidly evolving threat variants.

As cyber threats continue to grow in complexity and sophistication, partnerships like this between Trend Micro and Intel represent a critical advancement in proactive cybersecurity, offering organizations more robust and intelligent defense mechanisms against emerging digital risks.
