The event, sponsored by Meta, Synology, and QNAP, aims to improve cybersecurity for both consumer and enterprise networks. Participants will compete in seven categories, including mobile phones, messenger apps, and smart home devices.
The contest highlights the increasing importance of securing consumer devices that can serve as entry points for cybercriminals targeting enterprise networks. Cash prizes are awarded for disclosing vulnerabilities, allowing vendors to patch them and Trend to protect its customers an average of 70 days ahead of the industry. This initiative is part of Trend's commitment to addressing the challenges posed by the rapid adoption of AI tools and the expanding attack surface in today's digital landscape.
Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704) sta ospitando Pwn2Own Irlanda, un concorso di hacking mirato a scoprire vulnerabilità nei dispositivi abilitati all'IA. L'evento, sponsorizzato da Meta, Synology e QNAP, ha l'obiettivo di migliorare la sicurezza informatica per le reti sia dei consumatori che delle imprese. I partecipanti si sfideranno in sette categorie, tra cui telefoni cellulari, app di messaggistica e dispositivi per la casa intelligente.
Il concorso sottolinea l'importanza crescente di garantire la sicurezza dei dispositivi dei consumatori, che possono fungere da punti di ingresso per i criminali informatici che puntano alle reti aziendali. Vengono assegnati premi in denaro per la segnalazione di vulnerabilità, consentendo ai fornitori di correggerle e a Trend di proteggere i propri clienti in media 70 giorni in anticipo rispetto all'industria. Questa iniziativa fa parte dell'impegno di Trend nell'affrontare le sfide poste dall'adozione rapida di strumenti IA e dall'espansione della superficie di attacco nel panorama digitale odierno.

Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704) veranstaltet Pwn2Own Irland, einen Hacking-Wettbewerb, der sich auf die Entdeckung von Schwachstellen in KI-fähigen Geräten konzentriert. Die Veranstaltung, die von Meta, Synology und QNAP unterstützt wird, hat das Ziel, die Cybersicherheit sowohl für Verbraucher- als auch für Unternehmensnetzwerke zu verbessern. Die Teilnehmer werden in sieben Kategorien antreten, darunter Mobiltelefone, Messaging-Apps und Smart Home-Geräte.
Der Wettbewerb hebt die zunehmende Bedeutung der Sicherung von Verbrauchergeräten hervor, die als Einstiegspunkte für Cyberkriminelle dienen können, die Unternehmensnetzwerke ins Visier nehmen. Bargeldpreise werden für die Offenlegung von Schwachstellen vergeben, sodass Anbieter diese beheben können und Trend seine Kunden im Durchschnitt 70 Tage im Voraus besser schützen kann als die Branche. Diese Initiative ist Teil von Trends Engagement, die Herausforderungen zu bewältigen, die durch die schnelle Einführung von KI-Tools und die wachsende Angriffsfläche in der digitalen Landschaft von heute entstehen.

Pwn2Own
Kevin Simzer, COO at Trend: "Enterprise security is not limited to enterprise devices. Remote work, bring-your-own-device policies, and sprawling corporate networks mean that consumer devices are critical entry points for both employees and cybercriminals. This makes it more difficult than ever for security leaders to understand and secure their organization's highly complex attack surfaces. Our market-leading bug bounty program offers cash prizes to researchers who can find vulnerabilities before the bad guys do, improving security for both our enterprise customers and the entire industry. Pwn2Own is our key to protecting customers weeks or even months in advance, and we remain committed to hosting these events year-round."
The proliferation of generative AI tools has created new attack paths for threat actors who can abuse these tools to damage infrastructure, infiltrate cloud networks, steal sensitive data and rapidly generate convincing deepfakes to perpetrate fraud. Consumer devices that use local AI tools may also pose risks to enterprise security even when not connected to internal networks due to information being saved locally or elsewhere by AI tools.
The contest, hosted by the Trend Micro Zero Day Initiative™, will reward researchers for disclosing vulnerabilities in seven categories: Mobile Phones, Messenger Apps, The SOHO (Small Office/Home Office) Smashup, Surveillance Systems, Home Automation Hubs, Printers, Smart Speakers, and Network Attached Storage (NAS) Devices. AI will play roles for both attack and defense as Trend implements researchers' discoveries into its threat intelligence database in real time.
Dustin Childs, Head of Threat Awareness at Trend's Zero Day Initiative: "Rapid adoption of AI tools combined with widespread use of consumer devices on enterprise networks is presenting organizations around the world with the challenge of reducing risks that they can't easily oversee. Vulnerabilities in these devices and programs are inevitable, but we're here to find them before threat actors do. In doing so, we reduce risk for all parties—employees, enterprises, partners, and the public—without having to place a greater burden on security staff or budgets."
To address the speed and diversity of threats and risks facing global enterprises, Trend has invested heavily in its flagship Trend Vision One™ platform, delivering industry-first security for AI services as well as the people using them. Other platform innovations in 2024 include deepfake detection, native protection for AI PCs, security for AI datacenters and the development of AI integrations, protection of AI deployments for enterprises and governments and more to come.
Trend upholds a robust responsible AI model and believes that all security vendors have a responsibility to ensure technologies are developed and used in ways that are ethical, transparent and accountable.
