In the first half of 2023, Trend Micro blocked more than 85.6 billion cybersecurity threats globally, consisting of email threats, malicious files and malicious URLs.

Recently, Trend Micro reported a 27% year-over-year increase in the number of cybercriminal activities it blocked in the first half of this year. And one thing that’s fueling the increase in cyber attacks is companies’ adoption of AI, according to the report.

As the use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) becomes more commonplace, over-reliance on this technology could pose problems for employers. There was a 27 per cent year-over-year increase in the number of cybercriminal activities blocked by Trend Micro, and AI played a role in this increase, according to a previous report.

Trend Micro, a global leader in cybersecurity solutions, has joined the Canadian Cyber Threat Exchange (CCTX) to contribute knowledge assets and threat insights and to help support cyber resilience across the country. The CCTX is Canada’s national cyber threat sharing and collaboration hub. Trend Micro Technical Director Antoine Saikaley sat down with Julian Lee at eChannel News to discuss this collaboration, how it supports the community and how factors such as AI are evolving the cybersecurity landscape.

Scams that rely on social engineering are increasing despite all the publicity they are receiving. How can people continue to be fooled when they get a call asking for money to bail a family member out of jail for example? Trend Micro has a new study called Virtual Kidnapping and Jon Clay, their VP of Threat Intelligence, joins #HashtagTrending to discuss its findings.
