TrendAI™ to Secure Enterprise Adoption of Agentic AI with NVIDIA

TrendAI™ to support NVIDIA OpenShell open source runtime to add security for autonomous AI agents


HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 18 March 2026 – TrendAI™, the enterprise AI security leader, today announced expanded collaboration with NVIDIA to support NVIDIA OpenShell, a new open source runtime for agentic AI introduced at NVIDIA GTC. The solution 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.

TrendAI™ is teaming with NVIDIA to add security for the open source NVIDIA OpenShell runtime as the ecosystem evolves. Learn more: https://resources.trendmicro.com/2026-nvidia-gtc.html

Rachel Jin, Chief Platform and Business Officer, Head of TrendAI™: “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.”

Traditional AI security models were built for short-lived interactions between users and models. Agentic AI changes that dynamic by operating continuously and taking action across environments.

NVIDIA OpenShell is an open source runtime for long-lived, self-evolving agents capable of planning, memory, and tool execution. While these capabilities unlock significant productivity gains, they also introduce risks related to unauthorized skills, hidden behaviors, prompt injection, and unintended system access.

Pat Lee, vice president, Strategic Enterprise Partnerships at NVIDIA: “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.”

TrendAI™ can transform agentic AI from a high-risk experiment into an enterprise-ready architecture. Organizations gain the ability to define trust boundaries, enforce policy at runtime, and maintain continuous visibility into autonomous AI behavior, all while preserving the flexibility and power that make agentic systems valuable.

TrendAI™ adds an enterprise-grade security layer that governs how agents behave, what tools they can access, and how risk is detected and enforced, before, during, and after execution.

The collaboration extends across the NVIDIA AIQ blueprint and the NVIDIA NeMo Agent Toolkit, enabling consistent security, governance, and observability as agentic systems scale across enterprise environments.

TrendAI Vision One™‘s layered security architecture for OpenShell provides:

  • Centralized AI governance and compliance enforced directly in the agent runtime
  • Skill and tool risk visibility, including continuous scanning of agent skills and MCP integrations
  • Dynamic behavioral analysis to detect hidden or malicious actions
  • Inline policy enforcement that blocks untrusted skills and actions at runtime
  • AI specific threat protection, including prompt injection and sensitive data exposure detection
  • Continuous monitoring and auditability through agentic telemetry and SIEM integration. These capabilities allow organizations to define trust boundaries, enforce policy, and maintain visibility across autonomous AI agents without limiting innovation.

KIGALI, RWANDA – Media OutReach Newswire – 18 March 2026 – XTransfer, the world’s leading B2B cross-border financial platform, was honoured to have its Chief Strategy Officer, Neil Ni, speak at the Inclusive FinTech Forum 2026 in Rwanda, underscoring the company’s growing expansion across Africa to deliver more inclusive financial services for SMEs engaged in international trade across the continent.

XTransfer’s CSO, Neil Ni (Left), speaks at the Inclusive FinTech Forum 2026 in Rwanda.
XTransfer’s CSO, Neil Ni (Left), speaks at the Inclusive FinTech Forum 2026 in Rwanda.

Neil joined the panel discussion, “Securing the Global Payments Highway: Cybersecurity for Real-Time Cross-Border Transactions” during the forum to share perspectives on how the industry can strengthen cybersecurity, anti-money laundering (AML) controls, and operational resilience as cross-border payments scale in speed and volume.

Drawing on XTransfer’s experience supporting SMEs in international trade, Neil noted that traditional B2B cross-border payments often pass through multiple correspondent banks, creating complex procedures, settlement delays and high costs that can strain SME cash flow. He shared that transfers can take several days to settle, and fees can materially impact businesses operating on tight margins, sometimes pushing SMEs toward unlicensed channels that raise compliance and transparency risks.

“As the industry scales, the challenge isn’t only transaction volume, it’s speed and trust,” Neil said. “To keep legitimate trade moving safely, risk and compliance must become more intelligent, consistent, and scalable.”

Neil shared that AI is now foundational to XTransfer’s risk and compliance capability. He highlighted TradePilot, XTransfer’s self-developed large language model (LLM) tailored for the global foreign trade financial sector, which helps identify suspicious patterns earlier, prioritise alerts, reduce false positives, and support more consistent decisions across markets, strengthening AML and compliance at speed.

Neil also discussed XTransfer’s accelerating expansion in Africa, noting more than 300% growth in the region in 2025 as SMEs seek faster and lower-cost ways to manage cross-border trade payments. He added that XTransfer is focused on working with ecosystem partners and regulators to support safer, more standardised cross-border information flows, one reason XTransfer is building X-Net, the industry’s first Unified Global B2B Trade Settlement Network and Risk Control Platform, to enhance interoperability and shared security standards across payment rails.

“Building resilience requires collective effort,” Neil added.

For city commuters, electric motorcycles and electric scooters are increasingly seen as a practical choice. This shift is driven not only by changing mobility needs but also by a growing preference for high-quality, reliable products backed by trusted brands. Several key advantages explain why electric two- and three-wheelers are becoming an increasingly popular choice.

First, significantly lower overall cost of ownership. Compared with gasoline motorcycles, electric two-wheelers offer a much more economical solution, with total usage costs as low as around one-tenth. In addition to a generally more affordable price, daily operating expenses are greatly reduced due to the lower cost of electricity. At the same time, the absence of complex engine systems eliminates the need for oil changes and reduces servicing frequency, leading to lower maintenance costs.

Second, versatile for everyday use across multiple scenarios. Electric two-wheelers are better suited for a wide range of daily needs—from commuting and school drop-offs to grocery runs and short-distance errands. Their lighter body, user-friendly design, and growing range of smart features make them accessible to a broader group of users, from students to older riders. For medium- and short-distance travel, they offer a more flexible and practical mobility solution that fits seamlessly into daily life.

Within this context, leading brands are accelerating product innovation to meet users’ increasing expectations. Yadea, for example, continues to strengthen its portfolio with models that develop performance, durability, and quality. Enhancements such as advanced battery, integrated smart functions, and unique fashion design are helping build confidence among first-time users while reinforcing long-term value.

As more and more countries promote green travel options and frequent fluctuations in international oil prices, electric two-wheelers are moving beyond their role as a supplementary option. Instead, they are increasingly becoming a preferred choice—offering a more efficient, convenient, and future-ready way to navigate city life.

GTC 2026 Live: This “Breathing” Glass Rack Reveals the Physical Form of Next-Gen AI Compute as an Intelligent Lifeform

SAN JOSE, Calif., March 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The following report is from Deepblue Finance——

Walking into the main hall of the San Jose McEnery Convention Center for NVIDIA GTC 2026, you might expect to be overwhelmed by a tidal wave of silicon and compute jargon. Yet, the one thing currently stopping top engineers and analysts in their tracks is a highly futuristic monolith standing solo in the core lobby area—the Panoramic Intelligent AI Rack.


Prominently displayed right behind it in the NVIDIA MGX ecosystem zone is Jensen Huang’s quote: “Together with our incredible MGX ecosystem, we are building the AI infrastructure of the next industrial revolution.” The appearance of this rack turns that grand vision into a tangible physical reality.

The initial visual impact of the Panoramic Intelligent AI Rack comes from its outer shell. In live demonstrations, the glass panels—initially as deep and opaque as a black hole—instantaneously switch to fully transparent in sync with the compute workload, revealing the high-speed, RGB-illuminated server arrays humming inside. But to Silicon Valley engineers, this is far more than just visual “compute aesthetics.”

As AI enters the era of the NVIDIA Rubin NVL72 architecture, compute density is approaching physical limits. Traditional metal racks are not only excessively heavy, but their internal thermal state is essentially a “black box.” Leveraging the high-temperature rigidity and exceptional thermal emissivity of its crystalline substrates, this rack reconstructs the physical barrier into an active thermally conductive boundary. More importantly, it solves the Achilles’ heel of liquid cooling systems: the hidden danger of “blind mating.” The panoramic interface elevates high-pressure liquid cooling’s black-box operations into a visualized, precision alignment engineering, eliminating the risk of fluid leakage at its physical root. Furthermore, compared to traditional steel racks, the aerospace-grade V1.2 glass architecture utilized by this cabinet significantly reduces the overall weight while maintaining extreme structural rigidity.


If you look closely at this rack, along with its accompanying precision coolant distribution units (CDUs) and heat dissipation carriers, you will clearly see the mark of YUANS. However, a hardware masterpiece that fuses top-tier materials science, complex fluid dynamics, and cutting-edge AI protocols is clearly not something a single company can accomplish alone. According to analysts well-versed in the supply chain, this rack was co-developed by Lens Technology, a leading AI hardware powerhouse, and Yuans. Lens Technology’s profound expertise in aerospace-grade glass processing and precision manufacturing explains how this seemingly impossible physical form factor was realized with such high-level craftsmanship. It declares to the market that the next leap in the AI revolution lies not only in advanced chip nodes, but also in the radically new physical structures and materials science required to house that compute power.

Tencent Cloud Redefines Innovation: AI Coding Boot Camp Concluded Successfully in Hong Kong

HONG KONG, March 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On March 17, Tencent Cloud successfully concluded its CodeBuddy AI Coding Boot Camp at the City University of Hong Kong (CityU), demonstrating how AI is enabling students from different backgrounds and disciplines to turn inspirations into impact. During the event, emerging technologies and trends like AI Agents and “Vibe Coding” are empowering non-technical students and professionals to transform creative sparks into functional applications, even if they have zero-to-low coding experience.


Defining the Future: From “Coders” to “Problem Solvers”

The Hong Kong finale, part of the “Tencent WeTech Academy x Tencent AI Campus Tour“, featured insights from academic and industry leaders on the shifting talent landscape.

“The top talent of the future will be ‘problem definers’ rather than just ‘code porters'”, said Wang Shiqi, Associate Dean for College of Computing at CityU. “We are moving toward a world where individuals act as AI collaborators rather than mere tool users.”

Real-World Impact: Tech for Social Good

The boot camp challenged 30 students from CityU’s College of Computing and Department of Electrical Engineering to develop solutions for “Chronic Disease Management for the Elderly.”

  • Elderly-Care App: Sophomores Ni Fanxuan and She Zhiding developed a dual-perspective app for seniors and their children. By using CodeBuddy, they completed the core coding in just half a day, using natural language to call UI libraries for complex interactions.
  • Community Fitness: A student named Calvin developed a sports community platform featuring “check-in” points and partner-matching. “Before this, I had zero knowledge of front-end pages, back-end logic, or database integration,” Calvin noted. “CodeBuddy bridged those gaps, allowing me to build a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) that actually works, rather than just a hollow interface.”

The Rise of the AI Agent: Introducing “WorkBuddy”

At the event, Tencent Cloud also spotlighted WorkBuddy, its self-developed desktop AI Agent. Unlike traditional chatbots, WorkBuddy is designed as a “digital colleague” capable of local execution and remote control across all platforms without complex deployment.
