TrendAI and NVIDIA Expand Collaboration to Secure Enterprise Adoption of Agentic AI
DUBAI, UAE – March 18, 2026 – TrendAI™ and NVIDIA announced an expanded collaboration to support the new open source NVIDIA OpenShell runtime for agentic AI, introduced at NVIDIA GTC. The partnership enables organizations to deploy autonomous AI agents with built-in governance, continuous risk visibility, and runtime enforcement, addressing key barriers to production adoption of agentic AI.
Partnership Details
TrendAI™, a business unit of Trend Micro, integrates its Vision One™ platform’s security features into NVIDIA OpenShell. The solution extends across NVIDIA AI Q and NeMo Agent Toolkit, providing centralized AI governance, skill and tool risk visibility, dynamic behavioral analysis, inline policy enforcement, AI-specific threat protection, and continuous monitoring. Specific timelines and transaction volumes were not disclosed.
The collaboration addresses risks unique to agentic AI systems, which feature long-lived agents capable of planning, memory retention, and tool execution—capabilities that introduce security challenges beyond traditional AI’s short interactions.
Executive Perspectives
“Agentic AI changes the security equation. When AI systems can plan, take action, and interact with other tools on their own, the risk profile looks very different from traditional AI. Our collaboration with NVIDIA allows us to bring security directly into the architecture so organizations can adopt agentic AI with the visibility and control they expect.”
— Rachel Jin, Chief Platform and Business Officer and Head of TrendAI™
Why it matters: This statement signals a fundamental shift from reactive security measures to embedded architectural controls, reducing vulnerabilities such as prompt injection and unauthorized access.
“Agentic AI opens the door for a new class of applications that can plan, reason, and take action. By working with TrendAI™, we’re helping developers add visibility and controls to make it safer to run autonomous AI.”
— Pat Lee, Vice President of Strategic Enterprise Partnerships at NVIDIA
Why it matters: NVIDIA’s commitment underscores the industry priority of enabling safe AI scaling for enterprise deployments.
Industry Context
TrendAI™ maintains active operations in the MENA region, including positions in Riyadh and Dubai, positioning the company to support regional enterprises as they navigate agentic AI adoption. The MENA fintech sector continues to see growing innovation, with AI governance emerging as a critical enabler for secure digital transformation across financial services and enterprise technology.
Conclusion
This collaboration equips enterprises with integrated tools to innovate securely using agentic AI, establishing a foundation for governance frameworks and observability standards essential for scalable production deployments.
