Protecting Critical Workloads in the AI Era with Trend Micro and IBM

AI isn't just changing how we build software — it's changing how attackers operate. 

In this episode of the z/Action Podcast, we sit down with Trend Micro to unpack the accelerating security risks of the AI era and what a modern defense strategy looks like across IBM Z and LinuxONE, hybrid cloud, containers, and modern application platforms.

The central challenge: agentic AI attacks demand agentic AI defenses. We explore why reactive, siloed tooling falls short — and how organizations can actually reduce tool sprawl and alert noise while gaining more control.

We walk through Deep Security and the Zero=Day Initiative as the foundation, then build upward: security for OpenShift Container Platform, and a path toward full-stack visibility that spans every workload touching Z environments. The goal isn't just detection — it's the ability to correlate threats, predict attack paths, and act with precision before damage is done. This conversation maps out a practical approach to addressing this accelerating threat with speed and automation.
