Trend Micro (TYO: 4704) has announced a new collaboration with Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) to enhance enterprise cybersecurity protection against stealthy threats. The partnership, announced at CES 2025, combines Trend's AI-powered Vision One platform with Intel's Threat Detection Technology (TDT).

The integrated solution improves ransomware detection by 24% over software-only approaches by leveraging hardware-accelerated detection. Intel's TDT, deployed across a billion PCs, offloads advanced memory scanning workloads from CPU to GPU, enabling 7-10X improved scanning capacity without impacting performance.

This collaboration addresses the growing threat of fileless malware, which was present in 40% of attacks in 2023. The solution enables instant detection of zero-day attacks and new variants through CPU telemetry and Intel AI, while maintaining optimal user experience.

Intel unveiled its new Core Ultra (Series 2) processors at CES 2025, introducing significant advancements in AI computing and edge processing. The launch includes multiple processor series:

The Core Ultra 200V series with Intel vPro® targets businesses, offering enhanced AI productivity and IT management. The Core Ultra 200HX and H series mobile processors feature up to 24 cores, delivering up to 41% better multi-thread performance compared to previous generations. The lineup includes Core Ultra 200U series for mainstream mobile users and Core Ultra 200S series with 12 new desktop processors.

A key highlight is Intel's partnership with Microsoft for Copilot+ PCs, combining AI capabilities with enhanced security.
