Trend Micro’s Digital Twin technology, built on NVIDIA’s accelerated computing and AI Enterprise software, creates high-fidelity, real-time simulations of an organization’s IT and OT infrastructure. “Enterprises are struggling to defend complex, dynamic infrastructure environments from highly adaptive, AI-powered adversaries,” said Rachel Jin, Chief Enterprise Platform Officer at Trend. “Our Digital Twin technology empowers customers to simulate threats and safely validate security controls without touching production systems.” This approach allows security teams to test scenarios and policies without risking operational disruptions.
The platform uses agentic AI to simulate real-world cyber threats, enabling continuous testing of mitigation strategies. “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, allowing our team to focus less on firefighting and more on confidently driving innovation.” This shift from periodic to continuous assessments helps organizations stay ahead of evolving threats.
Decision-makers can use the Digital Twin to evaluate new tools, policies, or architectural changes in a virtual environment, ensuring data-driven investment decisions. “As threats migrate to OT, proactive security is critical,” said Frank Dickson, Group Vice President, Security & Trust at IDC. “A continuous cycle of adversary simulation and defensive validation becomes a valuable tool to ensure that organizations stay ahead of cyber threats.” This capability supports cost-effective security enhancements without compromising live systems.
The technology also simulates critical failure scenarios to analyze data flows and decision-making impacts across IT and OT systems. “In today’s rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape, organizations need proactive solutions that can anticipate and counter potential threats before they occur,” said Bartley Richardson, Senior Engineering Director, Agentic AI at NVIDIA. By providing real-time risk insights, Trend’s Digital Twin strengthens enterprise resilience and operational planning.
Trend Micro’s Digital Twin technology marks a paradigm shift in cybersecurity, enabling organizations to proactively manage risks across diverse environments. By integrating agentic AI and continuous simulation, Trend empowers enterprises to stay ahead of threats, optimize investments, and build resilient operations for the AI-driven future.
