CYBERSECURITY | Trend Micro unveils cyber digital twin
Announced on August 5, the company’s Digital Twin capabilities enable organizations to create high-fidelity virtual replicas of their infrastructure.
Trend Micro has launched a new cybersecurity model that uses digital twin technology to help enterprises improve cyber resilience through real-time threat simulation and policy adaptation.
Announced on August 5, the company’s Digital Twin capabilities enable organizations to create high-fidelity virtual replicas of their infrastructure. These simulations allow security teams to test cyber threat scenarios, visualize risks, and adapt defenses without disrupting live systems.
“Trend’s digital twin approach completely changes our ability to understand risk in real time,” said Stuart Samples, chief technology officer at Northeast Georgia Health System. “It helps us catch threats we didn’t even know to look for.”
The model is built on agentic AI and powered by NVIDIA’s accelerated computing and enterprise AI platform, including NIM microservices. This infrastructure enables AI-driven decision-making and predictive security planning across hybrid environments—from on-premise and cloud systems to legacy IT and operational technology.
According to Trend Micro, the move marks a shift from static, periodic cybersecurity assessments to continuous simulation, helping enterprises stay ahead of increasingly sophisticated and adaptive cyberthreats.
Rachel Jin, chief enterprise platform officer at Trend, noted that traditional risk assessments are no longer sufficient in the face of dynamic infrastructure and AI-powered adversaries. “Our Digital Twin technology empowers customers to simulate threats and safely validate security controls without touching production systems,” she said.
Digital twins allow organizations to evaluate new security tools and architectural changes in a virtual environment, improving the accuracy of risk assessments and investment decisions. They also enable scenario planning for critical business operations, providing insights into system vulnerabilities and potential failure impacts.
Frank Dickson, group vice president for security and trust at IDC, said the new model supports a “continuous cycle of adversary simulation and defensive validation” that can prevent operational downtime while exposing vulnerabilities.
Trend Micro’s announcement follows other AI-driven initiatives, including the recent decision to open source its Cybertron AI model and agent framework, and expansion into GenAI and sovereign AI infrastructure protection.
Bartley Richardson, senior engineering director at NVIDIA, said the collaboration delivers AI-driven protection designed to anticipate threats before they occur.
The new model is expected to support enterprises across industries as they adopt AI, strengthen hybrid cloud security, and enhance digital transformation efforts.
