TrendAI™ research reveals pressure to deploy AI for business speed is outpacing control, visibility and accountability


HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 2 April 2026 – TrendAI™, the enterprise AI security leader from Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), has published new research revealing that organizations worldwide are pushing ahead with AI deployment despite known security and compliance risks.

To read the full report visit: https://www.trendmicro.com/explore/trendai-global-ai-study/

The new global study of 3,700 business and IT decision makers found that 67% have felt pressured to approve AI despite security concerns, with one in seven describing those concerns as “extreme” but overridden to keep pace with competitors and internal demand.

Rachel Jin, Chief Platform & Business Officer, Head of TrendAI™: “Organizations are not lacking awareness of risk, they’re lacking the conditions to manage it. When deployment is driven by competitive pressure rather than governance maturity, you create a situation where AI is embedded into critical systems without the controls needed to manage it safely. This research reenforces our focus on helping organizations drive solid business outcomes with AI while still managing business risk.”

The risk of pressure-driven AI rollout is exacerbated by governance inconsistencies and unclear responsibility for AI risk that are becoming widespread. The same is true for security teams working on a reactive basis to top-down AI rollout decisions, which often leads to workarounds and increased use of unsanctioned or “shadow” AI tools.

Recent TrendAI™ threat research reinforces this shift, showing how attackers are already using AI to automate reconnaissance, accelerate phishing campaigns and lower the barrier to entry for cybercrime, increasing both the speed and scale of attacks.

AI adoption is outpacing control

Organizations are deploying AI faster than they can manage the associated risks, creating a widening gap between ambition and oversight. 57% say AI is advancing more quickly than they can secure it, while more than half (64%) report only moderate confidence in their understanding of the legal frameworks governing AI.

Governance maturity remains low. Only around a third (38%) of organizations have comprehensive AI policies in place, with many still drafting them, and 41% cite unclear regulation or compliance standards as a barrier. In practice, AI is being operationalized before the rules governing its use are fully established.

Trust in autonomous AI remains uncertain

Confidence in more advanced, autonomous systems is still in the maturing phase. Less than half (48%) believe agentic AI will significantly improve cyber defense in the short term, with ongoing concerns around data access, misuse and lack of oversight.

The data shows where those concerns are landing. More than four in ten organizations (44%) say AI agents accessing sensitive data is their biggest risk. Over a third (36%) warn malicious prompts could compromise security, while one in three (33%) point to a growing attack surface for cyber criminals. A similar proportion (33%) fear abuse of trusted AI status and risks linked to autonomous code deployment.

At the same time, nearly a third (31%) admit they lack observability or auditability over these systems, raising serious questions about how organizations can control or intervene once agents are deployed.

Around 40% of organizations support the introduction of AI “kill switch” mechanisms to shut down systems in the event of failure or misuse, while nearly half remain unsure. This lack of consensus highlights a deeper issue. Organizations are moving towards autonomous AI without agreement on how to retain control when it matters most.

“Agentic AI is moving organizations into a new risk category,” added Rachel Jin. “Our research shows the concerns are already clear, from sensitive data exposure to loss of oversight. Without visibility and control, organizations are deploying systems they don’t fully understand or govern, and that risk is only going to increase unless action is taken.”

SUNSHINE COAST, Australia, April 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast is delighted to introduce Bella, a six-year-old rescued Australian fur seal who recently joined the aquarium. Weighing 50.5 kilograms, Bella is currently the only individual of her species in human care, making her arrival a significant moment for both the aquarium and the community.

Named after Victoria’s Bellarine Peninsula, Bella was rescued from St Leonards Beach following an incident involving a dog that likely separated her from her mother. She sustained an injury to her left flipper, required extensive care and rehabilitation, and continues to be monitored annually to ensure her long-term health.

Having successfully completed her quarantine period, Bella is setting into life at SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast and is gradually integrating with the resident seal colony. She can often be seen alongside her new seal friends, confidently exploring her environment and delighting in the presence of visitors.

“Bella’s arrival is an exciting step forward for our seal family,” said Carla Haskell, Mammal and Bird Manager at SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast. “She has such a curious and energetic nature and has already captured the hearts of our animal care team. We’re thrilled to see her building bonds with the rest of the seals.”

As the only Australian fur seal currently in human care, Bella offers a rare and meaningful opportunity for visitors to connect with her species and better understand the challenges facing wild seal populations. Her story reinforces SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast’s ongoing commitment to conservation and protecting our oceans for future generations.

Visitors can also interact with the seals in a whole new way with our Seal Encounter experience. Meet them face to flipper in a hands-on encounter that lets you get up close to these amazing animals.

NINGDONG, China, April 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On March 27th, to meet the construction needs of the Yizheng Chemical Fiber user connection project, State Grid Ningdong Power Co., Ltd. organized Party member backbones from the construction sector to carry out a themed Party Day activity. They conducted an in-depth re-survey of the project route on-site and advanced the preparation of construction drawings simultaneously, deeply integrating Party building initiatives with on-site project construction to further accelerate the implementation progress of the Yizheng Chemical Fiber project.

The Yizheng Chemical Fiber project is a key investment promotion project supported and guaranteed by the autonomous region and the Ningdong Base Management Committee. Its cable route needs to cross the Changshang Line of Ningdong Railway, then run along the east side of Zhongtai Furui Technology Co., Ltd. to the north side of Guoneng Avenue, pass through the reserved square culvert to the south side, and then lay along the planned steam pipe gallery bridge of Yizheng Chemical Fiber to the newly-built cable well outside the user’s wall. The project route is complex, involving multiple coordinating units, and requires multi-party collaboration in project advancement and construction technology.

Since the convening of the User Supporting Project Promotion Meeting by the Ningdong Base Management Committee, the company has responded promptly to the meeting arrangements. Focusing on the time node requirements of the project supporting works, the company has taken “Party Building + Infrastructure Construction” as the starting point and actively integrated into the project promotion working group of the Ningdong Base. It has established a government-enterprise joint construction and coordination mechanism with units such as the Construction and Transportation Bureau, Economic Development Bureau, and Natural Resources Bureau, integrating the handling of preliminary procedures for power supporting projects with the overall project approval process in both planning and advancement, and optimizing the handling links from the source.

After the start of the feasibility study, the company organized Party member technical personnel to conduct on-site investigation and surveying, accurately aligned with the needs of the Construction and Transportation Bureau, and comprehensively planned the construction of power lines together with the supporting pipe galleries and road construction of the project. It has strengthened collaborative cooperation with units such as Great Wall Water Affairs, Investment Company, and Pipe Gallery Company, accurately connected the power demand during the project’s construction period, commissioning period and production period, planned the power grid load allocation in advance, and took the initiative to optimize the pipeline connection design. This promotes the synchronous planning and implementation of power pipelines and pipe galleries, avoids pipeline conflicts and secondary excavation from the source, ensures the seamless connection of various processes, and effectively improves the overall construction efficiency of the project.

SINGAPORE, April 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Digital travel platform Agoda has identified a selection of jungle safari destinations across Asia, where diverse wildlife and breathtaking landscapes await. With a growing interest in nature-based travel, jungle safaris offer unique opportunities to explore the rich biodiversity and natural beauty of Asia’s forests and national parks.

Jungle safaris provide more than just wildlife sightings; they offer immersive experiences that connect travelers with nature and local ecosystems. From the dense rainforests of Borneo to the tiger-rich landscapes of India, these destinations promise unforgettable adventures for nature enthusiasts.

Agoda’s list highlights destinations where landscape, wildlife, and on-the-ground experiences come together:

Khao Sok National Park, Thailand: Khao Sok’s dramatic limestone cliffs rise above Cheow Lan Lake, where floating raft houses offer overnight stays within the rainforest. Canoe safaris and jungle treks reveal wildlife such as gibbons and hornbills, while the park is also known for the rare Rafflesia flower, one of the largest blooms in the world.

Jim Corbett National Park, India: Located at the base of the Himalayas, Jim Corbett combines open grasslands, sal forests, and river systems that support one of India’s most established tiger populations. Jeep safaris through zones such as Dhikala are often paired with early-morning birdwatching along the Ramganga River, where over 500 species have been recorded.

Yala National Park, Sri Lanka: Yala is known for having one of the highest leopard densities in the world. Safaris move through a mix of scrubland, lagoons, and coastline, where sightings can range from sloth bears to crocodiles. The park’s proximity to the ocean adds a distinct element, with wildlife often seen against a coastal backdrop.

Borneo Rainforest, Malaysia and Indonesia: Among the oldest rainforests on earth, Borneo Rainforest offers a layered safari experience that includes river journeys along the Kinabatangan, night walks to observe nocturnal species, and visits to orangutan rehabilitation centres. The region is one of the few places where travelers can see proboscis monkeys and pygmy elephants in the wild.

Chitwan National Park, Nepal: Set in the Terai lowlands, Chitwan’s grasslands and riverine forests are best explored through a mix of jeep safaris, canoe rides, and guided walks. The park is a stronghold for the one-horned rhinoceros, and visitors often combine wildlife tracking with cultural stays in nearby Tharu communities.

Gunung Leuser National Park, Indonesia: Part of Sumatra’s protected rainforest network, Gunung Leuser is one of the last places where orangutans, tigers, elephants, and rhinos coexist. Multi-day treks from Bukit Lawang focus on observing semi-wild orangutans, with routes passing through dense jungle and remote river crossings.

Taman Negara, Malaysia: Estimated to be over 130 million years old, Taman Negara offers one of Southeast Asia’s most accessible rainforest experiences. Visitors move through the canopy via one of the world’s longest suspension walkways, take night safaris to spot nocturnal wildlife, and travel by boat along the Tembeling River to reach remote jungle trails.

Andrew Smith, Senior Vice President, Supply at Agoda shared, “Jungle safaris today are less about a single animal sighting and more about understanding entire ecosystems. These destinations offer a range of ways to engage with nature, from river-based exploration to guided conservation experiences, reflecting how travel preferences are evolving. At Agoda, we are committed to helping travelers discover these incredible destinations. With our extensive range of accommodations and activities, we make it easy for nature enthusiasts to plan their perfect adventure.”

For those planning their next jungle safari, Agoda offers over 6 million holiday properties, more than 130,000 flight routes, and over 300,000 activities, all of which can be combined in the same booking. Discover the best deals on Agoda’s mobile app or visit Agoda.com for more.

Key Highlights:

  • Proactive Security & Policy Audits: Using natural language commands, teams can trigger AI analysis of recent transactions to surface stop-loss risks, whitelist anomalies, and potential threats before they escalate.
  • Instant Custom Financial Reports: AI Connect aggregates platform data and generates Markdown documents, structured tables, or charts on demand — eliminating manual exports for CFOs and finance teams.
  • Enterprise-Grade Compliance: Built on Safeheron’s SOC2 and ISO/IEC 27001:2022-certified RBAC architecture, AI permissions are strictly bound to the operator’s access level. No employee access means no AI access.
  • Open-Source Safeheron Skill: Developers using Cursor or Claude Code can generate multi-language SDK code (Java, Python, Go, JS) via natural language, with built-in best practices for transactions and Webhook verification.

The launch of AI Connect marks a new chapter in Safeheron’s institutional digital asset management journey. As AI permeates every financial workflow, Safeheron is committed to ensuring that AI-driven operations remain proactive, compliant, and bank-grade secure.
