Japanese cybersecurity software company Trend Micro Inc. today unveiled a new cyber resilience model based on Digital Twin technology and agentic artificial intelligence.
The new offering allows organizations to model their entire IT and operational technology environments in real time, including support to simulate threats, validate defenses and adjust policies before attacks can occur.
The Digital Twin technology, which is built on Nvidia Corp.’s accelerated computing stack and AI Enterprise software, uses agentic AI to create high-fidelity, continuously updated simulations of enterprise systems. The virtual environments serve as testbeds where security teams can model attacker behavior, experiment with new tools and make informed, data-driven decisions without risking operational disruption.
The new cyber resilience model has been designed to support a range of scenarios, including adversary simulations, business continuity testing and investment decision modeling. In one example, organizations can use the model to test how new security tools perform in a virtual clone of their infrastructure or simulate business-critical failure events to understand how disruptions might ripple across connected systems.
Trend Micro claims that the shift from periodic assessments to continuous, intelligent simulation marks a major evolution in proactive cybersecurity. The idea is that by allowing organizations to stay ahead of adversaries, harden their environments to circumvent cybersecurity threats and confidently secure mission-critical operations, the technology shifts security practices from static and reactive to dynamic and predictive.
The new cyber resilience model doesn’t stop at threat simulation alone and also supports smarter security investments and operational planning. Decision-makers can use the model to evaluate new tools, policies, or architecture changes in the simulated environment to gauge their impact without touching live systems.
“Enterprises are struggling to defend complex, dynamic infrastructure environments from highly adaptive, AI-powered adversaries. Rapid shifts in threat actor tactics and IT infrastructure mean reactive, point-in-time risk assessments are no longer fit for purpose,” explains Rachel Jin, chief enterprise platform officer at Trend Micro. “Our Digital Twin technology empowers customers to simulate threats and safely validate security controls without touching production systems, to finally close the gap between digital transformation and defensive readiness.”
