This step builds on the existing collaboration with Anthropic, utilising a model that delivers significant advancements in complex reasoning, agent-based workflows, and long-term analysis. While AI facilitates the discovery of vulnerabilities, the real challenge lies in protecting organisations faster than software can be permanently patched. TrendAI uses Opus 5 precisely for this purpose.
As a participant in Anthropic's Cyber Verification Program, which certifies organisations for the defensive use of frontier AI models, TrendAI can use Claude Opus 5 for defensive security. The model is zero-data-retention compatible, thus meeting the company's governance and data protection requirements.
The collaboration extends to TrendAI Threat Research, where frontier AI models are combined with the company's own frontier intelligence engine and human expertise to gain insights even before vulnerabilities are disclosed. This information feeds into the cybersecurity platform TrendAI Vision One™, providing more precise detection, deeper forensic insights, and proactive protection through virtual patching.
Virtual Patching closes security gaps before manufacturer patches exist.
TrendAI Vision One supports security analysts, AppSec, and SOC teams in prioritising vulnerabilities based on exploitability and business risk, identifying attack paths. Risk mitigation, including virtual patching, can thus be accelerated across hybrid environments. Vulnerability management is transformed from a static scanning process to a dynamic, context-aware workflow for risk mitigation.
"With Claude Opus 5, TrendAI translates vulnerability information into concrete protective measures faster than ever before, prioritising based on exploitability and business impact," explains Rachel Jin, Chief Platform and Business Officer, Head of TrendAI. "Previously, finding the vulnerability was the tricky part. Today, the challenge is to protect companies faster than software can be permanently patched. Here, frontier reasoning fundamentally changes the equation. Virtual Patching protects customers even before a manufacturer fix is delivered. This is how we secure the AI age."
