NVIDIA Nemotron™ open models run entirely inside customer-controlled infrastructure, delivering AI-driven threat detection and policy-based response without security data ever leaving the sovereign boundary

November 11, 2026, Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia: TrendAI™, the global AI security leader and enterprise business unit of Trend Micro  Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), today announced it is bringing NVIDIA Nemotron™ open models into TrendAI Vision One™ for Sovereign and Private Cloud (SPC), building on its collaboration with NVIDIA. The integration brings AI-assisted security operations, including guided investigation, security reasoning, and agentic SIEM, to organizations with sovereignty, data residency and operational control requirements.

 

The Gulf remains one of the world's most targeted regions. According to Positive Technologies, the UAE and Saudi Arabia together accounted for half of all cyberattacks recorded across the Gulf in the first half of 2026. At the same time, organisations are increasingly cautious about where their data goes. Kiteworks' 2026 Forecast Report found that between 42% and 45% of UAE and Saudi Arabia respondents name third-party AI vendor data handling as their top sovereignty concern.

 

TrendAI Vision One™ SPC is to address both challenges. It enables organisations to deploy the platform in private cloud, sovereign cloud and on-premises environments they control. The Nemotron model integration then extends AI-assisted security operations into these environments, so security data and deployment never leave the customer’s hands.

 

Nemotron open models make this possible by bringing the model to the data, rather than the data to the model. Customers decide where the model runs, which version is deployed, and who can access it. AI-powered security operations then run on NVIDIA accelerated computing in their own data centers, sovereign clouds, and restricted-connectivity environments. TrendAI™ collaboration with NVIDIA on OpenShell adds a further layer of security for AI agents, giving organisations control and visibility of agentic activity.

 

“Every GCC country is building its digital economy on its own terms, with its own rules on where data lives and who can access it,” said Tarek Jammoul, Regional Managing Director, TrendAI™. “Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 and the region's investment in sovereign cloud are creating strong demand for AI-driven security, and that intelligence needs to operate inside each organisation's boundary. Bringing NVIDIA Nemotron models into TrendAI Vision One™ for Sovereign and Private Cloud gives government entities, critical infrastructure operators, and regulated industries across the Gulf one platform for AI-assisted detection and response that respects each nation's sovereignty requirements."

 

“Open models give organizations the transparency and control to run on their own terms, which is critical for sovereign environments,” said John Fanelli, Vice President, Enterprise Software at NVIDIA. “TrendAI’s integration of NVIDIA Nemotron models enables enterprises to put their most sensitive data to work, without it ever leaving their control.”

 

With the Nemotron integration, TrendAI Vision One™ for Sovereign and Private Cloud runs AI models on customer infrastructure with no dependency on external inference services. The platform reasons across security signals to identify complex threat patterns, attack chains, and AI-native attack paths. Protective actions follow organisation-defined policies and security team controls. The platform also correlates telemetry, guides investigations, and helps prioritise response, while security teams retain full oversight.
